Tenkuu Shinpan

Upon witnessing a man's head cracked open with an axe, 16-year-old Yuri Honjou trembles in fear and confusion as she flees from the masked assailant, only to find out she's trapped in an abandoned building where every door is mysteriously locked. Desperately searching for a way out, Yuri runs to the rooftop, but a world with no signs of life stands before her, surrounded by high-rise buildings. Though filled with despair, once she learns that her brother is also in this strange place, Yuri is determined to find him and escape.

However, she soon finds that there are more masked murderers in the area, anxious to terrorize their newfound victims and satiate their sickest desires, leaving Yuri to question if they will be able to make it out alive.

The theme of the world that was presented was very interesting. The theme of people losing their personality and consciousness after putting on a mask and being forced to follow orders was something surprising. When we later learn about the candidates for god, we slowly begin to understand what this may be about. We meet various characters and their motives, the real world is brutal and people with different pasts come here. When it comes to the characters, the honestly masked sniper is a character I wanted to watch, the rest have their pros and cons. The main character, however, often changes her character, which ... makes her somewhat vague; compared to her companion, she was simply bland, and the fact that she gained strength towards the end makes her even more indifferent to the viewer.
I rate the anime as good, but the ecchi scenes were exaggerated for a series that is not of this genre. Apart from the masked pervert and the policeman, each subsequent scene with strong ecchi was unnecessary.

Mixed Feelings

You will either love this, or be extremely indifferent to it.

As someone who's enjoyed it quite a bit (action, yuri, I'm in), I still do see the weaknesses that ultimately made the show fall flat in the end for a lot of people. I, however, was 100% in it for the two main character's growth, bond, and triumph in the end. That is the journey that was worth it for me personally as it was very wholesome in that sense.

The Yuri relationship betweent he two loads is present, it is not only undertones, and it's quite obvious.

The story, however extremely intriguing at first, tripped ... over a rock and slid to a halt just before it could really take off. The unveiling of the WHY of the story was so underwhelming it left me with a sense of 'wow, okay, I might have wasted my time with this one...'

Now, I have watched this anime when it first came out so my memory might be a little fuzzy, I don't remember there being a TON of fanservice, but I do remember two instances where it was pretty agregious. I am not a fan of it myself depending on how it's done, and depending the purpose of it. The only good utilisation of panty humour to memory might actually have been Lycoris Recoil - which is why usually I stick with battle animes. However, I totally understand why in this case it might have turned people off as it was completely unecessary in this show.

In short, this show would have benefited from axing the fan service for a more serious tone and a better intrigue.

bro the amount of plot holes and unnecessary fan service is just..
animation is alr nothing out of the ordinary.
characters have 0 personality - very bland, dialogues are forced and there is no real progression to the story., there are just things... happening. the emotion this piece is trying to evoke are simply not there cs you truly dont care about any of the characters.
if it wasnt for masked tumblr sexy man and forced yuri between 2 mc noone would watch this im pretty sure.
music was alr but again nothing groundbreaking. u can do better with ur time than watch this trust me lol
