Preliminary (8/12 eps)
B A B Y L O N.

What a strange name, I read from some posts that it could be a biblical references, well whatever.

As always will minimize the spoilers, just give my global impression.

Review wrote at episode 8, will edit at the end of the show (maybe before if something really big happens)

EDIT (27/01/19) : After seeing the end, I feel like I have been f*cked... The end is just dissapointing, didn't explain anything and we go through all of this for that ?... What the fuck, seriously... The scene post credit is a big "?", just feel it push for an another season. If it's the case I will pass.

As I wrote before, everything depend of the end and the end is just sh*t... Just fuck this, don't watch it.

Story - EDITED 27/01/19 : 6/10 > 3/10 (following the ending...)

At first, thought it'll be a realistic case just like Sherlock Holmes stories, a horror thriller. But it turns out to be a supernatural case with a debate about some morals questions.

Honestly I don't know where this story going. It's interesting but at the same time baffling. Need to mention that some scenes are hard to watch, because it horrendous and very shady...

Art : 7/10

Not much animation, essentially discussion and some running animations but that's it. Can't fail something if there nothing to fail lol.

There sure some action scenes but they are very short and it won't be for the animation that will watch this anime.

Sound : 6/10

Nothing particular. OP and ED are mainly instrumental, OST is basic (didn't remember any of them, the seiyuus are good.

Character : 7/10

All characters are more or less realistic, except antagonists. Their mindsets are obviously twisted but don't know what they really seek it's the sole purpose of this show. To know what they want to accomplish.

Enjoyment - EDITED 27/01/19 : 6/10>2/10 (Just feel I have been hard trolled at the end...)

In the beginning I find it enjoyable. But more the plot develop, less I find it interesting. I put some hope in this show, but unfortunately the supernatural things had broke it.

I still watch the anime because I want to see how this will end. I almost sure I'll be dissapointed but a man can dream.

Overall - EDITED 27/01/19 : 7/10>3/10 (Just fuck this, all the debate feel worthless seeing the end - just my f*cking biaised point of view).

This score will drastically change dependent of the end of the story. For now I'll give a 7, but I have suspicions it'll have fall short...

Because of that I can't really recommend this anime. Just pass away, except if you want to try your luck and see what we got in the end. Do we have been f*cked ?
