Deep Insanity: The Lost Child

Best Sci fi anime of 2021
The only thing went wrong was that they weren't able to sort out the plotlines

Characters-
The MC's are Shigure and Vera. That was unexpected from their intro pov. Watching the first episode you would never expect that.
The relationship development aspect amongst the platoon was unexpectedly good as they were the only ones introduced.

Art-
The Art and fight scenes were awesome and the supernatural in it was another awesome sight to behold.

... Story-
The base apart from story development was solid.
The story as in the setting and backstory of the characters introduced wasn't cliched like in other animes, if given proper consideration it would have been the hype

What I can see in the series is the potential to grow. You know like how sometimes series are rebooted and bam! They are the most viewed

This was a mixed source i.e. Manga, PC/Mobile game so you could consider this to be an teaser of sort. In games, the setting is usually the most important thing for purchase so there you go. I have seen many game based animes similar in the skipping sense

It's quite complicated to talk about Deep Insanity as it is so uneven.

Indeed we find a very complex scenario but once it is finished it makes sense. Sometimes it's even too complex and tries to make things confusing where they don't need to be, but the scenario remains relatively readable and not unpleasant to follow.

In the same way we have interesting characters to see evolve and develop, especially one whose name I won't mention to keep the surprise for those who haven't seen the anime. But here again the development of the characters is only interesting when it's set up, once that's done everything is ... stopped and the characters stagnate in their permanent status quo spoiling some potential in them, yet developing the heroic thirst of the hero in this world totally hostile to this kind of dream in connection with the past of another character of the group would have been very interesting for example (the anime even promises us this way in the first episodes) but no, we stop at this promise. And it's the case with all the characters, it's really a shame...

The aesthetics is the big black spot of the series, with a great lack of dynamism in the staging of the action scenes and the strong moments (especially the climax which is a complete failure as it falls like a bellows) and it spoils a lot of good ideas of the scenario already well annihilated by its timidity to propose more.

In short, an anime that is not as catastrophic as my review suggests, it can be watched without too many problems but this potential spoiled by a sudden stop of the writing bothers me a lot and gives it barely the average on my side.

Just plain awful. When I first saw the title and cover visual of this anime, I *thought* it was going to be really good and exciting, but when I watched the actual show, I quickly lost enthusiasm and enjoyment after the first three or four episodes. I was duped, the title was a bait. I expected stuff to be more intense and suspenseful.

First, the story was boring and not interesting, the characters just going on missions down the labyrinth fighting monsters with cringe CGI animation and some sort of evil underground organization that doesn't much catch the viewer's attention. Later, the series enters a time ... loop in the last few episodes, which was boring and unenjoyable as well.

Next let's talk about the characters. We have the supposed protagonist who wants to be a hero but in reality is naïve, timid, incompetent and almost somehow useless. The female idol character looks cute but she was annoying and talkative. The Leslie guy who crossdresses looks very cringe, and the Larry boy who can't even feel pain acts like a jackass in the team, especially towards the protagonist. Then there's the Kobato girl who is a good artist but is not appealing either. And last, we have the squad commander, Vera, who was honestly the *only* character I got interested in because she's hot and a badass in combat.

The OP and ED were fine but not worth fully listening to.

The art and animation looked alright too but again the CGI monsters really are not desirable, which makes you want to unsee them so bad.

Lastly and worst of all, the synopsis of the show was a total dud. What a way to exploit the real life ongoing pandemic for a made up virus/disease in the story as an idea to catch the attention of viewers, it didn't go well unfortunately.

All in all, watching this show was very regrettable and is a good example of "don't judge the book by its cover". To conclude, this is basically a sci-fi ripoff of Made in Abyss.
