I've been browsing through the sub-forums for this anime and besides art, what's wrong with this anime?

*Note: I heard something about NTR in this anime, I'm a fan of NTR and I can withstand strange or bad artwork in the name of NTR.

There is no NTR but there is rape and a twisted love triangle. I would suggest reading the manga though because the anime is not gonna cover a lot and might have an open ending.

There's no rape in the animu yet, just the manga~

Just give it a try and see if it appeals to you.
Imo it's the directing and peculiar atmosphere which makes this show so special, however, whether you will like it depends on your own preferences.

you probably wont see the spoiler in the anime anyway, which is a shame.
i suggest reading the manga. there are more fucked-up shit that happens that the anime wont get into.
13 episode is just too short. thats why you see alot of posts for an original anime ending or and open ending- a cliffhanger that doesnt resolve anything

Besides the art, which you will either love or hate, there are a few problems with the writing and characters. Main problem, IMO, is the MC. He's a total moron, retard and coward. If you can't stand to watch people like that, you won't like this anime. Oh, ans he's pretentious as well, trying to distance himself from the pack because he's so much better, even though he knows deep down he's not even average. I knew a couple of people like that back in my high school, and they were the most insufferable people I knew back then. So yeah, unless you are, like him, a masochist, you're not going to like this. Nakamura is crazy, but at least she's interesting and entertaining. Kasuga is neither.
I guess you can watch this for Nakamura, because she IS quite unique. I just wish the anime looked better.

Actually I like the MC. He's pretty real, though sometimes he does overreact. He's not a moron a retard or a coward.

But yeah you should watch it just for Nakamura.

now, I don't watch the anime merely because of the art. However, it led me to go and read the manga and it really is a great piece of manga.

The MC is not by any means a moron or retard cause I can count on all my toes and fingers how much retarded male leads there are and I still wouldn't have enough appendages to count.

Nakamura is very unique as everyone says, it's not NTR, it's very twisted. For a manga called Flowers of Evil, it's to be expected. I just wish .. the anime was not so god damn horrible (the art, you can argue "masterpiece" but my answer to that? BULLFUCKINGSHIT"). The anime wouldn't get that far for it to get really interesting for example the .. spoiler up above, which man, was one of the best parts, teehee~
You're all idiots, but I'm no different.

I don't see how is that a problem, the MC isn't a static character he eventually gets out of it and develop as a character.

More or less correct, but that does not change the fact that he is quite unbearable for at least half of the show. I think he might turn people off to this show more then the rotoscoping. He most certainly gets better, but it takes about 6.5 episodes to do so, out of a 12 episode show. I'm just saying, if you don't like the MC, you're probably not doing to like the anime.

PS: He is too a moron: everything could have been solved if he just told Saeki the truth, that he got scared and ran off, and didn't realize he took the gym bag with him.
He is too a coward: he couldn't stand up to Nakamura even a little bit for 6 episodes.

i would actually suggest to wait until the next 3 episode is over. or at least until after the next episode this weekend, because there is a probability a new different anime ending might be introduced.

if you followed the anime so far, there really isnt anything they missed in the manga. every scene in the manga is in the anime and some are even stretched longer than the manga. so its not like you missed anything significant. so yes, its ok not to start reading at chapter 1. i think the epi 10 is around chapter 13-16 or something (im probably wrong)

I actually had the same question about this series. I've heard two different stories with it. I've heard it's really good and I've heard it's really bad.

There doesn't seem to be a middle ground with it so I'm having a hard time debating if I want to watch it or not. I'll probably skip since I hate the character archetype that the male lead is. To me, characters are paramount in any series I watch so if I can't stand the characters, even for a certain period of time, it's not something I'd enjoy.

I'll probably skip unless someone can convince me otherwise.

Meh. I really don't like the story of the manga. It's fucked up. The new arc seems to be interesting though.

I love the creepy-ness, I love the insanity and I love this psychedelic anime!

I hate Takao so much for beeing such a pussy, I wanna kick his damn ass. He annoys me far more than any other Anime-character I've seen so far.

It's not bad, at all. Manga fans are just angry at the chara design and overall art direction, but I think the anime is objectively really enjoyable, if you don't mind the slow pace (And I personally love the art).

It's a great adaptation, i would say that this part is better in the anime than the manga.

Aku no Hana is like dark chocolate: it kinda suck, but you know that flavour is unique.
