The story of BokuMachi is simple but it starts really big and realistic.
The way it evolves and unravels is what makes it GOD Tier.It has a wonderful plot and lots of twists. As a "mystery-psycho" genre should HAVE!!Its extremely easy to empathize and get absorbed by it.The anime give you all the details you need to know and slowly uses them in order to move forward.It has its mysterious and serious vibe in the air while still maintaining those small jokes/reactions between the characters in order to smooth the tense a bit.Another thing is that this anime knows how to play around with your mood.Means that,in its intense moments when you are 90% sure that something obvious is going to happen, its easily throw decoy/fake dangers in order for you to lay down your guard and then it advances.That is something interesting and praiseworthy as all the above ofc.
With that being said i will move to the characters. They are really well made and always acting based how they were introduced.In addition, they are absolutely logical. I mean no out of character reaction, no fictional characteristic.Everything fits its environment.Absolutely astonishing.But the development was really really weird. One could say it was "completely" disappointing.
The music is almost perfect. I mean the opening is well made and deep/mysterious. The ending even better than the opening while both of them doesn't contain any spoilers.Not only that but there are some wonderful orchestra OSTs.
The art is mostly beautiful and unique. It has its small valuable details in order to get into the mood. Like signs of poverty,or unhealthy living, or lack of sleep and all those tiny yet huge info we wanna and love to see.The thing is there are some artistic flaws. I mean in some scenes they use some weird ways to represent the scene in order to awake the right emotions. They exaggerate in a way that its somewhat disgusting and looks ugly in general.You can easily spot those scenes,but pay no heed in them.
---------------------Personal opinion and flaws-------------------------------------
Its starts epic.It continues epic, but the ending sucks and there are flaws...To begin with,there are plot holes.By that i mean some things aren't explained and aren't logical or fitting the story...Secondly,his power has no rules.That means it is used only for plot convenience purposes.Not only used....over used.... you can easily predict the end if you paid close attention but that's not something necessarily bad.Worst part in my opinion it builds too many close relationships (not ero),just romantic,with our girls. Which leads in many ships and with us getting mentally attached to the girls and especially 1 girl.Why did it do that? Well it managed to pull of NTR... also know as " Netorare" i won't explain what it is you can feel free and google it.Which is a pretty FUCKED up and strong feeling...Last but not least, the 2nd way it abused all those emotions we had towards the characters and crafted it into FORCED "melodrama". It was obvious and pretty frustrating.
Like the anime was laughing at you painful face after what you were "forced" into watching...

In the end, this was a great show. Despite its greatness , the ending was undesirable abused,stupid and kinda illogical or way too happy one can say(like a miracle happened)...Meaning that even tho you wanna love this anime there are really strong loath boiling inside me!(and im sure im not the only one)
I recommend it to everyone. It's one of those you won't lose from watching it but in the end you will wanna punch yourself for your own stupidity,cause you let your guard down and got attached to it and its overall disappointment.
Reasons to watch it:
-Just watch it no need for anything more.
-Feels feels feels
-Unique Experience

This was my Shameless critic.
I am leaving without remorse!
