When I read the summary for the plot and decided to watch this, I thought this might be a reasonably good anime. Mystery aspects involved, art looked decent...what could go wrong. Right?
I was wrong. Very wrong.
Honestly, within the first five minutes of this anime, I was already stricken by how revolting it was. I nearly turned it off right then and there. Yes, I understand that prison is horrifying. Maybe they wanted to show that. Yada yada yada, but are you people serious? This is a two episode series and I can't even count how many rape scenes there are. Is that supposed to be sexy? God, I hope not, because if so, it failed miserably. At some points, I felt like vomiting.
Don't get me wrong. In terms of storylines, I've seen worse, but I've seen much, much better.
Oh, there's still hope for him. Hey, maybe we can get into some plot now...oh wait, nope. Just more rape. Look, the lawyer is back, let's get cracking. Looks like he found something. Now is it time to actually...damn it all, more rape. Rape. Rape. Rape. Pathetic attempt at plot. More rape.
I wish I was exaggerating. Really, I do.
SPOILERS AHEAD:
And, you know what the kicker is? At the end when Guys finally escapes prison and the horrors he found there, what does he do? Turn right around and start doing the same shit that 'sickened' him...with his lawyer! Yup, that's right. I know they only showed a kiss, but come on. None of you are naive enough to think it stays so innocent, right? I don't know about everyone else, but I was astounded.
"Awesome. Despite the fact that these characters are kind of one-dimensional, I'm glad...oh come on, really? Now he's making out with his lawyer? Nevermind, I take that back."
I know what you're thinking: "But Lusca saved him!" Don't give me that crap. If I was raped dozens of times in prison, no one would even be touching me at all, let alone making out with me. I wouldn't care if that person had slayed a frickin' dragon on my behalf, he still wouldn't be touching me. Guys is supposed to be traumatized, remember? I would be curled up in a ball, trying to pick up the trashed remains that represented my life.
Gah...I wouldn't recommend this unless you're interested in shotacon. Or, for whatever reason, rape scenes. It's not worth it. Please save yourself the trouble.
