Pretentious, chaotic, and lazily open-ended. And pure relief when I managed to finish the last episode.
∞ Who is Mars Red aimed at? Definitely not an average anime follower.
I doubt that even folks drown to niche shows are going to find Mars Red charming. It's very theatre-heavy and into the most confusing way of storytelling. Don't get me wrong. I love me some mental challenge, but that lack of explanations would frustrate even the most chill person.
Those with a degree in English literature could be the ones to enjoy this, but even there I'm not so sure. I still believe that anime isn't

This was the most confusing show in terms of storytelling. The first couple episodes were pretty okay as things were slowly set up. However, about after an earthquake, the show spiraled into a mess where every time I watched a new episode, I thought I just missed some episodes before. The plot jumped between characters at a seemingly random fashion that I had no idea what’s going on. Despite this, I still get the general sense of what was going on.
The animation was not an issue here. It looked different from other anime, and it made the show felt more mysterious and like a ... Jun 28, 2021
NO SPOILERS REVIEW
This show was so frustrating to watch, because it was actually amazing up to episode 6. Then each episode following, drastically got worse and worse. It's like the studio was told they had 24 episodes to work with, and then 5 episodes in they were told they were only getting 13. Story: 3 Poor As good as it was at the start, by the time you finish the show, you'll feel empty inside. Random gaps of events just missing for no reason, extremely predictable, plot armor present. Legit hyped up the same character reveal at the end of the episode six times in a row. Breakneck ... Jul 3, 2021
I feel like it had potential, but it just falls flat on it's face pretty hard.
You probably know the trope of over explaining things in anime, well this is the opposite, most things that would need an explanation aren't explained. Be it character motivations or actions, effects, twists. Because of this, most of the time when there is an emotional moment, you just know that it SHOULD be emotional, but it really isn't. It's theatrical, which is something you either like or not, but a lot of times it just felt out of place fore me. Overall, it's pretty forgettable; even though based on the premise and what actually ... |
