- Story : 10/10
To be quite honest the story is rather confusing at first, mainly because the story tends to revolve around different characters who seem unrelated. The Story focuses on the destructive side of today's society. It also gives its watchers the "urging" feeling to keep watching each episode since each episode tends to have some sort of " plot twist " at the end. I can also say that the last few episodes are severely mind meddling and its primary goal is to make each viewer's assumption or speculation incorrect. These last few episodes are crucial since it correlates the whole story. Overall I would rate the story a perfect 10 for its concept originality, its amazing plot twists with a hint of fiction or reality type and its capability to keep the viewer preoccupied when it comes to speculating from a specific point of view from each character.
- Art : 9/10
I can proudly say that the animation is very impressive. The art is something you would expect from Satoshi Kon who is well known for his other series notably Paprika and Tokyo Godfathers. Mousou Dairinin's Art is very impressive for it aims to present a realistic version of society, not the big eyed and one direction hair type of characters in terms of looks.As for the background and art setting I would say that it is impressive but it could have been done better, I honestly feel that they did this on purpose so its viewers can primarily focus on the story itself. Other than that slip I would give it a 9.
- Sound : 9/10
Mousou Dairinin's soundtracks are smooth and commendable for it blends with each scenario. The Opening Soundtrack is actually subliminal it portrays a joyful and positive atmosphere and it aims to give its viewers an awakening feeling but its lyrics along with the art played with it is a different story. As for the Closing Soundtrack it gives a relaxing and calming vibe and at the same time it give its viewers the opportunity to think over a few things and such. Overall I would give it a 9 for its Sound and Music.This Anime is actually well known for its Story and Art.
- Character : 10/10
I would not really mention certain Characters and certain scenarios for it would spoil the story itself. I could only say that Characters are a crucial part in this Anime for it clearly revolves around them. It primarily focuses on their past, weaknesses, intentions and capabilities. Other than that these characters are interesting and at the same time mentally unstable. Overall I would give it a perfect 10 for its Character Originality and its capability to show clearly what each character is really like.
- Overall and Enjoyment : 10/10
I honestly think that Mousou Dairinin is an Anime to watch especially if you are into psychological and mystery genres. If I were to describe this in less than 5 words I would most probably say that this Anime is " INSANELY MIND*******". What I really love about Mousou Dairinin is that it make its viewers think and have speculations about certain scenarios and certain characters. My respect for Satoshi Kon has gained another level for only a few Anime Directors (IMO) tend to have the potential to make a spectacular anime that show the truth and the realistic dark parts of today's society. Overall I would rate it a perfect 10 and I highly recommend it. With that being said Feel free to comment, disagree and like my review. AND ABOVE ALL ELSE WATCH IT !!!
