Preliminary (11/12 eps)
If you felt attracted by Kuzu no Honkai AnimeList's description it means you are looking for an anime about romance/love that is not the same as usual: a story about forbidden love and "notice me senpai" from a crude, realistic perspective.
And that is indeed true, the show has a lot of that.
But it is a lot more than that: it is indeed about love, romance, sex, relationships, men and women but analysed with a very deep perspective. After you finish watching the first episodes, you will only feel bad and depressed: everybody seems mean and rotten, you will hate everybody, and you will wonder why do you keep watching this. But if you endure, the time comes when this show does a great job showing the complexity of being a human full of complex, contradictory emotions, humans asking them selves... why do they behave like we do?, why do we love men/women?, why do we care about other people?, why are we not sincere in front of those we call friends and we keep pretending to be somebody else?, why do follow that unstopabble cycle of starting/finishing relationships with people we said once we will love forever and then we don't see eveer again?... I mean, things you should also ask about yourself once in a while if you dont.
And that is what I treasure most about this show, that is a loud and clear invitation to know yourself a little bit better.
Taking about other elements, the art is great, beautiful colouring, original comic-like scenes and character design. In overall, this is a show that get's better with each episode, so don't surrender at the beginning, keep going, and you will learn to understand those characters that you hated so much at the start, because you will see that they are only humans with lights and shadows as you and me.
