Synopsis

A series of natural disasters has reduced the world to rubble, with the survivors doing whatever they must to survive in a world gone mad. But one young boy, Kakugo, gifted with amazing martial arts and a superpowerful suit of armor by his late father, has been charged with making the world (or at least his school) a safer place. But his sister has a matching set of skills and equipment, and she`s on a mission to bring peace to the world... by wiping out humanity!

This is the biggest injustice i've seen on MAL. Somehow Genocyber has a higher score. I'll use it as a parameter: If the gore in Genocyber can give you the ick and put you away, the gore in Apocalypse Zero is tasteful, funny, and peppered in correct dosage. This OVA is the perfect blend of funny, interesting and insightful, with a brisk and breezy pace covering the first 3 volumes of the manga. I'm hooked, and I will be reading the manga to know more.

The design is lovely, both in human characters and monsters. The background setting, the story, will make you see the connections ...

Mixed Feelings
Dear God what the fuck did I just watch?? I don't think it's a spoiler to say that the penis and vagina monsters were present and got a lot of screen time. The style is fucking weird but it's at least consistent, every character looks like they were mutated from a nuclear Holocaust. The sheer ridiculousness is enough to take out a frail Victorian child.

I personally am not a fan, and I'd die before watching it again, but I can appreciate it's cultural importance (to an extent lmao) and I understand why people ...

Congratulations Apocolypes Zero. You are officially the worst anime I have ever see. Considering I have watched a decent amount of series', you have managed to achieve quite the feat.

I honestly don't know where to begin. I'll start with the animation I guess. It's definitely below the standard that had been set for the time. The backdrops of the show are generic,post apocalyptic city landscapes. The character art is also truly awful. The protagonist 'demons' are hilariously poor and completely soulless which is also how the regular characters are animated.

The music and sound are dead, and at best, generic. There is very little else to ...
