Pet

This is another title from Studio Geno, which until now has always brought great anime, even though it is a recent studio, and I can say that Pet is probably the best one ever made by him.

Pet is one of the best animes of this season, the anime production surprised me a lot, all the elements that were created to give the illusion of the mind according to the work are incredible, it is easy to understand the mystic that happens here, thanks to the script of the anime, which maintains a great evolution until it reaches the final episodes.

After understanding the rules imposed by ... the anime, the story begins to develop, working and linking each of its main characters that make the plot roll almost like a suspense. The characters are not exceptional, but they are useful in the context of the work.

The anime lets us look at the two sides of the coin, and go on to formulate how everything can end. We see characters being deceived in front of us, others being manipulated for their own interests, whether for good or evil.

Pet is certainly the most wronged anime of that time, and deserved more recognition.

I am a huge drama fan and I really loved this show. What a beautiful ride throughout the whole show. I am really ashamed that there are people ignoring this show just because of its art style etc. This is a must watch show from the director of Baccano and Durara. I knew from the beginning that the story will be explained episode by episode and before they will play with your mind. It is a rare kind of show and unique also weird in a good way. I have my most favorite character from this show Tsukasa. This is years old manga yet it ... had the ability to amaze us just like Dororo. This woman(author) deserves the popularity because of her works. I will indeed rewatch this show again for better understanding because I feel there were minor lack issues but not the major one. I hoped that director should have done more better directing for this anime to be the best one but any ways I am fine.

Story-9
It is a mind tripping anime but it will remove your all stress in the end. The story was just great and beautiful in its own ways.

Art-8
Well I don't actually care about the animation style that much because I am a story lover but the thing is that there were some scenes that weren't animated great just like some expressions. I don't get this why but although they did a good job animating the water scenes and mostly the finale scene I hoped that would have been amazing if the whole series was animated like that. I think the budget was low or some kind of issues. It was decent for me.

Sound-10:
Tk never fails to amaze us. The openings and endings were really amazing and also matched with the anime if we look at the lyrics. Also the major thing about this show which I personally loved was the voice acting of the character Tsukasa. Others had fine voice acting but this Tsukasa one was really legendary. Probs to this guy and deserves the seiyuu award.

Character-9:
Loved every character and their designs. Their ideas and their weird good attitude. Amazing just amazing!

Enjoyment-9:
It was great ride for me but I don't know about the taste of action lovers if they will watch the anime carefully and by focusing.

To the starters don't miss even a single scene and understand it carefully. This show is just mind blowing just watch it. You are locked down right? Get out and watch it today if you can and also have a nice day and nice sleep. Thanks for reading this review of mine and sorry for childish kind of english because I am still learning english.

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.

Even so: 6/10

Many people will drop it after episode one, because the narrative withholds too much information. That's understandable. And many others will drop it because the characters are unlikable. That's fair, too. The show focuses on some selfish and ugly people, and that can be hard to watch. But I think the story is worth pushing through those things.

Honestly, though? I kinda wish I'd dropped it, too.

Not for the reasons above, but because Pet's visuals are so ... VERY disappointing. I sense a very troubled production schedule. The characters are often off-model, butchering some really cool-looking original designs. The color choices can be jarring. And even if things were rough behind the scenes, I doubt there was any strong artistic vision to begin with. So many scenes are framed in a boring way, sapping all the tension away, the characters' expressions lack nuance...

It looks like ass, is what I'm trying to say.

It sounds like a petty complaint. But in this medium, visual storytelling is important. Pet has an interesting story to tell, but so often fails to deliver. Because outside of a few key moments, what I'm looking at is just so...

... bleh.

STORY: 8/10
ART: 4/10
SOUND: 6/10 (sound design is actually VERY strong in the first half of the show)
CHAR: 7/10
ENJOY: 6/10

Overall: 6/10

I'd say read the manga, but the series is obscure enough that I can't find an English translation anywhere. If you can't read Japanese, this is the only version of Pet you got. Sorry.
