The most important thing in the plot is love. The one that cannot exist, my favorite kind of romance plot. When people think about the present, forgetting or not thinking about what can happen in future, about the consequences.
Unlike any other anime, this one uses a lot of physical subjects, erotic subjects to be exact, in a interesting way, they way of desire. The way not being touched by anybody for years, which makes you wanna be touched everywhere, when you meet somebody. It's interesting. Unfortunately a lot of times the vibe around it is destroyed, and that is dissapointing.
It's also a mystery story, about vengance and grief.
It's also a story about people's souls and feelings.
And it's also a story of simple students in a weird world.
SCORES:
VIBE:
OK. Vibe. I do like it, especially with all the things they did to make this vibe special. With all the art and music, pretty good.
But I am so dissapointed, so so dissapointed.
The thing is that this series can make you feel a bunch of real emotions, it makes you experience the pitiful sadness. It shows you, how people can crazily do something that, even though it was their decision, will have bad, bad consequences in future, and how they won't think about it. How people can live freely focusing only on the present, and the emotions that are always with them.
And then they just destroy it, they ruin everything. With funservice, with unnecessary comedy bits, with pointless dialogues that won't even contribute to the vibe or plot. And that is dissapointing, very dissapointing.
The authors tried to be outstanding, and yet they wanted to remain in the mainstream, that doesn't work, it just doesn't.
And so the vibe was GOOD, but at times it got ruined as fuck, this anime would be so much better without these unnecessary scenes and comedy.
Because I hate when they try to make "body" subject so serious and then they laugh about it, choose one site. And anwser yourself which is better, and which you have to minimize.
ART STYLE:
It's pretty. It's damn pretty. First of all the art style is up top, the animation quality is great. I love the looks for Yukko-san so much.
But what is outstanding about it is that they managed to make people that should be "original" original. They happened to master the way of making characters with a great look. Even when you compare main characters, you can easily notice which of these are made to be glorious and which are made to look pitiful.
The next thing that I liked were the little touches of screen transitions. They made it diffrently in a way of desiging how to show "talking" scenes, there's a lot of talking there, so they would make you busy with all the arts, bacgrounds and little boxes around, to keep you more interested.
Moreover they masterfully used that in important scenes in the series, managing to make them more enjoyable and basically better.
MUSIC/VOICEACTING:
Oh wow, I seriously do like it. The opening is not one of the best, I must say. But soundtrack cooperates with the series in a great combo. You can obviously hear that in the background.
I liked that authors would make a soundtrack that was only used in one scene, that worked so nicely. Because it was new, and you could feel more emotions in that certain scene, and believe me that scene is great.
It's ideally composed to the genre - mystery, horror, romance. And you can obviously hear that too.
STORYLINE:
The storyline is not as interesting as you would think. There is some grim story behind it, oh there is. But the thing is that, the way towards the revealing of the story is pretty boring. It could have been better.
BUT
I do recommend the story line and the whole series for one big moment, and this one big moment is one of the best scenes in animes ever made. You will embrace such emotions while watching it, and it's worth watching the whole series through, for just this one scene, this one expierience.
You will notice which scene I am talking about. And here is my best advice for you, Im not gonna say anything, Im just gonna say this: Turn off your media player after that scene, don't watch it till the end, and don't watch the other sequel episode.
You can do whatever, that is my honest advice for you. Im not gonna say more, you can probably deduce what I have in mind by saying what I just said.
CONCLUSION:
It's not one of the best animes out there, its pretty average with a good bunch of outstanding elements to it.
The plot sums up to a great scene, which I liked. But unfortunately authors while trying to be outstanding, they forcefully stood in the mainstream.
And that ruined them, it wrecked them apart.
This anime would have been so much better, if only they stuck to one idea for the series.
