SHIIIKAAASHI (read that with the voice of the narrator in Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji)
How can this anime be so praised? To me it's just the work of an author who's so edgy he might fall off a cliff like -spoliers-.
Seriously, the train of thought of this guy was "Ah.. I don't know how to make people feel sympathy for my characters.. I KNOW, LET'S JUST RAPE AND TORTURE THE WOMEN AND THEN MAYBE THEY WILL FEEL SORRY FOR THEM!"
!SPOILERS!
"Eh, this guy has a sister, let's rape and kill her."
"Oh, and why wouldn't we rape the main heroine as well?"
"I got an idea, in the lasts episodes, let's rape AND torture this girl (10min strait each)! Wow, that really sounds like a good idea. A woman screaming for 10min is so cool, the people watching will surely feel sorry for her now!"
! SPOILERS END!
Like, what the absolute F? If you take all of the anime you could make 2 standalone episodes just about rape and torture.
If you want an anime about impossible love, go watch Akatsuki no Yona.
If you want an anime with sword fights and special powers, go watch Ninja Scroll.
If you want something about samurais that is really gory, go read Vagabond.
A dark atmosphere doesn't make an anime a good drama, nor does it make it a good anime in the first place.
