Reviews

I'm going to start off by saying, disregard any and all reviews prior to your reading of this review. You can't "rate" something like this by any normal means. You can't "rate" ANYTHING by any normal means or scale. Numbers don't equate to the resulting emotions and internal questions created by art. As men create art, the only way to fully and truly comprehend it and "rate" it is to watch it for yourself. This anime especially fits that. The best works of art are the ones that half of people say they hate, and half say they undyingly worship. This is one of those works. Now I'll begin reviewing it in the best way possible, without slipping ANY details, as you should know if you've already learned ANYTHING, you've pretty much ruined it- the point of art like this is to watch it yourself, don't ever look up another review in your life again and never look at age ratings, you should always go in blind and prepared for simply whatever the creator of the work throws at you.

I'm REQUIRED to use a damned number scale, but ignore it entirely. Although I did give it straight tens across the board for fulfilling what the average viewer would desire of an emotional piece such as this.

It's safe to say that the significance of this anime will catch you off guard, and if you can't find relation to animes or shows and are merely looking for "a good time" and not a lasting work that should forever be revered in history, turn the hell back now and go watch Space Patrol Lululoco because that'd be more up your alley of "I actually have a life and just wanna anime and chill". This anime is a roller coaster that will bring you on a remarkable and inspiring journey through hate, despair, love, and fear. From the triumphs of man will come his own demise, just as the triumph that is this piece of art will bring the demise to any momentary happiness you have. Instead, you'll be left with a void, which will then be consumed by a yearning for answers to philosophical questions and scenarios posed in this anime. The only words that come to mind to describe the emotions left by this anime are; "intelligent", "cold", "depression", and "compassion".

That's all any true review can say without spoiling the art, so I'll end it with a final statement of legitimate facts. I cried almost every episode, literally. I also took a month or so long break because it was just too emotional to watch in one go. I just looked over and realized I'm supposed to say why I liked it, you don't like art. You experience. I experienced it. Your take is your take. I HATE the emotions it made me feel, but that doesn't mean I hate the art work. That would be a blatant example of shooting the messenger. The piece itself is the sum of all the parts, not their breakdown.
