This was a horrible series. Oh my gosh. Dreadful. Really, the one thing that comes to mind when I see this series mentioned. "It can't be helped." Sweet Jesus this was a terrible series.
Now I'm not just saying this because I heard how bad this was before. I have formed my own opinions on this.
And this show is pure suck butt.
My gosh this story had places to go. It had potential. It really did. But so many things killed it. For one, how many plot holes and unfinished questions. I mean, the ending. Oh my gosh the ending. What crap is that? Only
...
focus on the "cute" ( I mean cute in what I guess they were supposed to be portraying. I find the art terrible, so I can't agree.) characters and that Oh So Special rabu rabu famiry circle.
What about the world's fate? Is that just to be left to happen because no one actually cares about what's really happening in this series. (Because it's oh so GRIM DARK AND SCARY OOOOH AND DEEEEEEEEEEEP. More like Derp. God.) I mean, seriously. Major missing piece in plot line. If you don't notice it, then you are watching for a low level fap. OOOH B-BU-BOOBIES?? AND BAD GORE? FAPFAPFAP :B
This brings me to the characters. Oh my god. These were the worst part of the series. I have NEVER seen such dense characters in my life. I don't care if the main guy has PTSD. It doesn't make him completely forget things that happen in current time. That was such crap. The crappy stereotypes. Once again, "IT CAN'T BE HELPED." -shudder-
Also. "Nyuu". What a shame. THESE HORNS LOOK LIKE NEKO MIMI MAKE HER NYAAAAAA NYAAA NYUUU NYAAN KAWAII DESU. SOOO SUGOI NEEE????
What was her main personality's name again... LUCY. Ah. That's right. Now that was a decent character. For the most part. Actual simulated emotion. Ah ha. Right?
So the demons of the show showed more convincing emotion then most of the entire cast of characters. Especially the main humans.
Ok. Moving on. Art. Art was... decent...? Barely. It is older, so it actually makes the cut. I like the opening sequence. They had attractive women, though since all the dewhatevahs look the same other than DERP LOOK AT MY HAIR. IT'S A DIFFERENT SHADE SOMETIMES. So I wouldn't automatically judge it to be Lucy. It may be, it might not be. I am not assuming either. But the opening song is enjoyable. Didn't skip it once. But then when they tied it back into the show, sometimes it felt a bit forced, but I will accept it. The ending song, LOOK THIS SHOW IS SUCH A DOWNER. LET'S PEP IT UP WITH A LOVE FILLED RUV SONG. LOOK AT MY NIP NIPS. I'M SUCH A CUTE NEKO MEOW.
Sorry. Not a fan of that song either. XD
But still on art. The gore. Was. Horrible. Oh my gosh. It was so tame I was bored to tears. OH LOOK. WE DREW BONES AND A LOT OF BLOOOD. WE CUT UP CHILDREN :D
That was so tame. And I didn't have a problem with the nudity either, because it wasn't so forced. ... aside from Nana's last fight. LOOK MY LIMBS FELL OFF. OH. AN MY DRESS.
OH WELL. (it's only eechi. It's not a problem for me. I understand what it is, so I am not picking a fight with NOT ENOUGH NUDITY OR WAAAAY TOO MUCH THIS IS UBER DISGUSTING GROSS NO CLOTHES?? I am indifferent on the eechi.)
But seriously. That wasn't gore. That was tame. And not portrayed correctly in some moments I believe.
Ok. Overall. For me, it was a terrible experience and I am glad I got it over with. I had to do it, so whatever. I think I disliked it so much because it was stereotypical crap from my POV. I have been around the block in the anime genres. So this is nothing special.
BUT. If you are someone new to anime, and would like to see something that might be a bit edgy for you, then go ahead and watch it.
People who like this series have most likely not seen much animu and are thinking it's SUPAH SPECIAL AND SO COOL :D
Or they may just have nostalgia goggles on and may be still basking in that old glory of an old fap when they were tweens or teens.
Tl;Dr: If you are new to anime, pick it up if you wanna expand your boundaries. If you are an old faggot, then stay away if you haven't already. If you have to just watch it for the experience, it isn't too bad, as long as you don't drag it out and go on and on and on about how bad it is. Laugh it off. It's barely fap worthy, and it's mildly entertaining to say the very, very most.
Oh well. That's over with. Thanks for reading my rant. :3
