Synopsis

Despite endless research, the human mind remains a mystery to this day. Unknown to the public, there exist special individuals who are able to dive deep into the minds of people and even manipulate their memories.

Gifted with this ability, Hiroki, Tsukasa, and Satoru are among those who use their power to commit crime under the orders of their leader, Katsuragi. The three step into the dangerous territory of the human mind in order to destroy their assigned targets while striving to keep their own minds and memories safe.

Pet:

Compelling psychological thriller, with bizarre, mind-bending scenarios, flawed and interesting characters, and satisfying twists and turns the whole way through. It's mature, surreal, unique, and shamefully underrated.

Do not be fooled by all the high scores reviews on here.

Let me explain, PET is a confusing mess that tries to pass off as a psychological triller.

Who are the good guys, who are the bad guys?
The series just had characters show up without explaining who they are.
Characters such as Mei Ling are not explained what her power is.
One episode they may seem to be good, the next episode seem to be bad (Tsukasa and Katsuragi).
It’s confusing because we do not even know who the main character is/are. What is the ...
