It's been a long time since I've watched something like this... the last time I watched something this strange and, frankly, terrible was when I watched Mars of Destruction. To be honest, when I first read the plot for the series, I was intrigued... but I didn't start watching right away. But after a while, I came back to the page and was about to add it to my list, when suddenly, an army of wild 1/10 scores appears! I read them and thought... "Is this really that terrible?" Upon reading them, I decided not to get my hopes up on this anime, knowing about all the hate, but I was hoping it would be better than Mars of Destruction. In the end, it was, but my God, it was still bad...

The story is about a brother and sister and their lives as they try their best to live out their lives as normally as possible. However, it proves to be quite difficult when the siblings find out that the sister is a flesh craving monster, and he can regenerate his body at incredible speed. Now, have you ever heard the phrase "eaten out" before? It is usually used in a sexual way, but with Pupa, the phrase is taken literally. The brother lets his sister eat him, usually in fairly erotic ways I might add... strangest time to raise the flag pole, seeing as I was watching someone practically get murdered over and over, but hey, I have no control over it.

While the plot had seemed interesting, in the end, it was just plain awful. Plot holes, hardly any character progression, and a filler ending to the series. It was honestly the worst thing about it.

Art and Sound were the only good things about it. Produced by Studio Deen, with main characters voiced by Nobunaga and Ibuki, these 2 subjects were the only things I didn't actually hate about the series. Sadly, it wasn't nearly enough to give me any hope that the series would get better.

Characters were just plain... strange. We got our two main protagonists, brother and sister, who have been watching over each other for years after their parents split up (terrible parents, both of them, I might add). Somehow, I feel that if the series were to continue, we might have a bit of an incestuous relationship going on, especially while watching Yume eat her brother out (literally). Then there's the unmentionable villains. I will not be mentioning them, cause frankly they shouldn't even be considered plot characters. That's it on characters. Sad, huh?

I'll admit, I finished Pupa in one go, but seeing as it's not even the length of 2 episodes of anime, it's nothing to brag about, either hardcore otaku-wise or love of the show-wise. It was just terrible.

Don't believe me? Watch it for yourself. I'm sure YouTube will have it up, seeing as it's not worth the effort to take it down.
