Alright, time for my first review on here.
First off, i just wanna say, the reason i wanted to wait off on reviewing is simply pure laziness, but this one has motivated me.
Scum's wish lives up to it's name better than any anime I've seen yet. THEY'RE ALL SCUM AND I HATE EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER. Now someone might ask, "why would you watch it then?" Well, short answer: I don't really know. Have you ever watched something or heard something that brought up a really painful memory yet you just couldn't look away? Well this was that scenario for me.
(A tiny bit of background for my case: I was with a girl for about 3 months, and I was used by her through and through.)
Well good lord, the teacher might as well have been the spitting image of my ex. A straight up psychotic whore. (And the other characters are pretty up their in their "whoryness") Every character has some for of sexual instance with (at least) one other character.
Let me put it this way.
1: They all shoulda just kept it in their pants and everything would have been fine.
2:Don't get into a relationship with someone you don't have feelings for.
3: Don't be in relationship with someone who you know is just gonna do things with others anyway.
4: Don't cheat.
5:Don't cheat.
6: see 4&5.
Am i coming through clear now? One last way to put it. I would punch the guys straight in the face if i could, and, if i was a girl, the same for the girls. (and i'm a pacifist) All of these characters just piss me off to no end. (and the ending sucked too)
I don't remember where, but i remember someone saying how they loved this anime for it"s "realistic approach to love" or something like that. OK, NEWS FLASH, THAT ISN'T NORMAL, and if it is? I'm sorry for the life that you've been living in honey, cause it shouldn't be remotely like that. If this kind of thing is normal in your world, you need to get outta there cause that's not healthy, at all. CHEATING IS NOT OK PERIOD. If you've found someone else that you like, be a decent person, and end it with the one you're currently with immediately. I repeat, DO NOT CHEAT. DON'T.
Rant aside, as a drama, it does it's job. Romance? No. Ecchi? Kinda. Seinen? uhhh, no? if anything i could see this being aimed at girls.
Art style was fine. Ton's of flowers used as backgrounds that landscape the background of the long winded overthinking thoughts scenes. Nothing special really.
Music was okay? It was almost always somber and depressing. I did enjoy the intro and outro songs though. (Did not care for the video parts of those.
Overall, i wouldn't really recommend this. Again, I don't even know why i watched it all the way through. Maybe i just wanted to see them all miserable? Who knows?
(oh, ending was crap too)
