Synopsis

Ren Fujii is a normal student who just had a fistfight with his former best friend, leading him to break off their friendship. But with the help of his childhood friend, Kasumi Ayase, and upperclassman, Rea Himuro, he's gradually returning to his normal school life.

Then a series of brutal murders in which the victims are decapitated begins to strike their city. Strangely, at the same time, Ren starts to have terrifying nightmares of being beheaded by a guillotine. But these are just a prelude to the painful and terrifying battles to come.

I don't know why people didn't like this anime, I didn't play the game, but just talking about the anime, it was a very good surprise and the character designs are very good, I don't know if it's my questionable taste speaking louder or the anime it's really good.

Animation/Design: 8/10
The animation in "Dies irae" is impressive, particularly after Episode 7. This is where the anime shines the most, especially in its intense and visually stunning fight scenes. Each encounter is a feast for the eyes, featuring expansive and destructive battlefields. The ...
Dec 1, 2024
This anime makes absolutely no sense. Random events without phasing are interwoven with random monologues that sound like deep philosophical musings that in reality have the depth of a puddle and lead to absolutely nothing. Even the MC says a few times that he "doesn't know what's going on" - I didn't think I could be so unanimous with him. I don't consider myself the king of intellectuals, but I'm not an idiot either. And here the authors are clearly counting on the latter. Generally, everything that does not come down to a fight scene is considered unnecessary and they simply skip a few scenes ...
