Let's start with the fact that Kuzu no Honkai is a romance anime but one that goes to extents that most others do not. This anime is unlike any other romance anime I have ever seen, the main reason behind this is because the story is not wholesome. The main idea behind Kuzu no Honkai is the feelings of lust over the feelings of love. I think that pacing is great and how the story it is trying to tell is great, however this anime does not tell a story that I want to see.
Art [10/10]:
The art quality of this anime is actually really unique and beautiful. Everything looks so full of life and I love it a lot, it is actually one of the main reasons I will most likely finish this anime in the future. This is one of the more beautiful anime that I have seen and is honestly the most redeemable feature of Kuzu no Honkai in my opinion.
Sound [9/10]:
The intro and outro have a lot of emotion and I think are perfect examples of all the conflicting scenarios throughout the anime. Character voice acting is excellent and another nice feature of this anime. There are also subtle piano instrumentals in the background at various scenes that really cooperate well with the visuals on screen. Very good atmosphere overall.
Character [4/10]:
I despise the characters in this anime. I have not watched it the entire way through but the main character and premise of this anime revolves around Hinabi, a girl who slowly succumbs to the lust around her as well as her own and ends up sacrificing her innocence and everything that is her. Every single character is deceitful, lustful, depressing, or over the top dramatic. Nobody so far has any redeemable qualities, they all just seem to be horny teenagers that cannot think logically about anything. I hope that before the anime ends there is some type of rebirth or enlightenment in which the characters shift their personalities but I highly doubt it.
Enjoyment [4/10]:
I really do not enjoy this anime at all. I would not recommend it as a romance anime because it really is not wholesome in any way and I think that is what most people look for when they search for a romance anime to watch. This anime is extremely lustful and could honestly be considered hentai with a story aside from time stopping or body switching. I most likely plan not to rewatch the series ever and although the art is fantastic the story and characters are not worth your time.
