Set in a barren post-apocalyptic future where most of the population has transformed into giant CGI monstrosities in the form of insects. The remaining population struggle to survive in fortified, self-governed cities. Where the people live in constant fear of their neighbour or loved one turning into an insect-like form and devouring them. To stop the insectification from spreading, there are exterminators read more
The story starts off slow in the beginning, so you have to be willing to wait a few episodes in before it begins to get interesting. The fight scenes, between the bugs and humans aren't as read more
30 yeras after apocalypse, where new disease caused 1/3 of human kind turn into nasty, bloody and huge insects - we meet with Kidow. Kidow is an insect exterminator that in the opening scene happens to be escaping from a huge swarm of flying worms. When he strives to survive from that swarm he finds out that despite him and his friend - he's not the only one person trying to escape. Unfortunately for the other escapists - the car droved by them meets with accident in which driver dies. It turns out that these car passangers are father and daughter. Father dies - begs read more
Story: Mushikago no Cagaster, or Cagaster of an Insect Cage is a Netflix original, and takes place in a post apocalyptic world, where humans are facing extincion after a disease (or something idk) turns some humans into massive, human killing insects. And we watch as Kidou, an executioner who's job is to deal with infected people, and Ilie, a girl that kidou saves and promises to take to her mother, the story then goes on, and we get more dept into these characters, read more
Story: 10 Art - 8 Sound - 9 Character - 10 Enjoyment - 8 Overall - 9 Starting from what is considered "bad" about the show, the 3D CGI may put off a lot of people, but that is easily overlooked when considering everything else the show has to offer. Personally, I also believe Cagaster of an Insect Cage is one of the few shows that pulls off CGI extremely well. The read more
Art: The famous Netflix CGI, even tho not the worse CGI out there, still terrible. 3/10 Sound: Fairly good, probably the thing I most enjoyed, good sound track. 7/10 Characters: They are just pretty much lifeless, bad animation, cliche and mostly annoying. The only character that made me give two points instead of a round 0 is Maria. Oh, points for not having overly read more
The SS and trailer might throw you off because honestly, CGI work is not the favorite of hardly any anime fan. If you do decide to push off this show you're missing out on a warm and destructive storyline that has you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next. Although its not the best of anime, I will say that the overall rating of 7 is fair and depending on how you feel about it, might read more
The story is as common as it get: an edgy dude with some talent, a semi-loli girl and an apocaliptic world. The twist: oh, zombies? No, that's boring, the problem here are... Insects! Genius! It was kinda simple but it caught my eye and I decided to give it a go even if the animation was awful, read more
The main problem I have with this anime, although I enjoyed it, was the animation and sometimes the plot was a little cliche, but I did enjoy it overall and these things weren't enough for me to stop watching it. Overall, I would recommend for a quick watch, and it was enjoyable enough that read more
the rest is pretty decent but it seems like this is all just glossed over and nobody seems really concerned about this in the anime like its a normal thing. It isn't even that big of an improvement point either, its just thrown in for no reason. there are better ways to for them to big on character development, like him cracking and lashing out on Ilie not just slamming her on the bed the entire scene is him getting frustrated after the horrors of the bugs, slams read more
The animation style isn't my thing. It's awkward and could've been better BUT, BUT, the storyline was pretty great. I was I instantly hooked on it and binged the show. I liked the characters and the uniqueness of the story. The development between the characters were good. I guess the only 'negative' thing would be the animation. It wasn't good, period. Though if you can see through that you'll enjoy the anime. At first glance I was like 'what the heck is this' and I wasn't going to watch until some inner voice read more
Be careful though, maybe it's not another Hellsing, but many scenes might not be good for sensitive audience. The concept is nothing really unique, however I think it's good enough to not feel bored. Events that happen are not that predictable to know the whole story after first episodes, so I find it decent. Art is probably the only "the best and the worst" element in the show. The worst - because not everyone might like how it is made. The best - because it's consistent and if you like it, you won't feel read more
The music is great all around, I'll definitely be revisiting the ost in the future. Most of the characters are well developed, giving a great sense of who they are and how they became that person. However, there's clunkers in the side cast that were blander than bread. Also, there's some questionable read more
Story & Characters: Cagaster of an Insect Cage takes place in 2125 when a terrible illness known as the Cagaster starts to infect large populations. This disease morphs the inflicted into gigantic, savage insects. These insects are large, fierce, and kill on sight, sporting large cycles and hard bodyarmour-like shells. Kidou is an professional exterminator, very adept at killing these insects with his quick thinking and strong weapons. While on a mission one day, he stumbles upon a damaged car with a dying parent, who pleads Kidou to take his daughter, Ilie, to find read more
I agree that the concept itself could be interesting if developed properly, the potential was there, and I had high hopes throughout the first episodes. Still, though, it turned very cliche at a certain point. But this is Netflix we’re talking about, there wasn’t much to be expected from it otherwise. However, a few of the characters portrayed (mainly side characters) were refreshing to see. People like Quasim, Mario, and even the Bazaar Overseer were the kind of individuals you’d think would fall harshly into a cliche read more
The story revolves around an infectious disease that turn people into cagasters (insects.) Think of a typical zombie movie such as World War Z, but instead of human corpses consuming other humans, its giant insects. This is an interesting read more |
