STORY-----3
If you're familiar with Elfen Lied, you will notice there are a lot of similarities between that and this anime. Don't worry it's not a rip-off, it's made by the same author and it's both about young girls locked away because they have dangerous powers. However, I hope they will learn they can not fit the manga Gokukoku no Brynhildr into 13 episodes. The plot was very slow, confusing and they just... 'threw' everything at you with no explanation. And I'm going to admit, I don't mind if a dark/depressing show has some fanservice every now and then. As long as it doesn't ruin the atmosphere, it's alright. But here? They just randomly threw in big boobs and sex jokes at the most inappropriate moments. They serve no purpose at all and were a waste of time they could spend on the actual plot. And also, don't watch this anime if you expect brave heroines. The male lead always saves the day, and the girls barely every use their power. As I said before, if you didn't read the manga this anime is confusing as hell. They randomly threw in stuff without explanation. In the last episodes, a new organization shows up, but without explaining why or what their purpose is. A lot of other things also remain completely unexplained. And the end... what kind of mess was that?
ART-----6
Fair enough. Nothing special, cute girls but everything lacks detail. Also, the eyes in this anime are super creepy. They all look like robots to be honest. The colors are dark, and nothing really bright which fits the anime.
SOUND-----7
The first opening was great, and fitted the anime. The 2nd opening? AMAZING! I only mean the song itself. It was way too brutal for this anime, especially because this has a lot of fanservice. Voice actors are simple and nothing special.
CHARACTER-----5
I must admit, I like the goal of our male lead. His childhood friend died and he wanted to honor her by proving aliens exist. He is somehow very good in remembering stuff, but never really explained why. (It doesn't need much explanation though) He -afcourse- always saves the day and all girls like him. This anime is not really a harem though, because he is in love with Kuroha and she with him, and only some sex-obsessed girl who somehow dies and comes back to life in the end without explanation is also in love with him. Honestly, I could care less for the other characters. Some of them were really cool, but they served no role in the plot expect for fanservice or being an asshole to Murakami. It did like how some of their deaths were unexpected, and quite sad. Like I said, only some of them were cool, others were these typical cliche characters (Shy girl with big tits, etc...) The villains in this show though...ugh. Never explained why they are evil, make dumb decisions and wait for every character to give their speech instead of killing them.
ENJOYMENT------5
If you're looking for a dark show, despite some of the moments, you are wrong here. Way too much fanservice, plotholes and boring moments. While some of the characters are interesting, most of them are pretty poorly written and serve no role. Despite some of the deaths, a lot of things were predictable and each episode your questions just pile up. The end simply sucks. If you're watching this because of Elfen Lied, don't. While this has gory moments, they're very limited and ruined by fanservice. No really epic battles neither, as you couldn't see them most of the time.
