anime as a artform is known for pushing the boundaries and create the kind of media u wouldn't usually have because of the amount of mass censorship it happens due to the human necessity of creating something that is close to societies ethical and moral values ... not only cos it sells to a bigger and wider audience but also because of the perpetuated idea that said values should be applied in any sort of media to prevent people from emulating those behaviors. (the most common example is of that obnoxious person that believes you will turn to violence just because you play a game with said violence and brutality and that it represents or influences you to somehow think its ok to emulate it and your somehow doomed to do it )
with that said, im not defending the overall quality of this movie... just the idea that luckily anime doesnt have as much of a burden to cater to people's subjectivity.
something that i cant find as much on cinema nowadays, due to its industry that is controlled by saturated capitalistim.
some important questions to make are...
do you get that angry when you watch someone get rapped in a movie? if you dont, its kinda hypocritical of you to assume that an anime cant to that... and should think what anime really represents for you...if you do.. would your feeling towards that movie change once it was turned into some type of soap opera kind of plot ? do you need to have an emotional connection with a victim to accept the portrayal of an abuse?
In my estimation i think its safe to say that a horror movie serves to provoke HORROR, and thats what happened here, with no tropes to make u feel for the character needed.
whats funny is that most people talk about plot and character development but than just consume shounen that has lots of violence, murders and brutality... but thats ok cos its sugarcoated with one hundred new magic powers to make the experience cuter and easier to consume.
people cant handle and dont like to be faced with realistic subjects and their biggest mistake is to think that not talking about it, or in this case, censoring by disapproving the portrayal of a sensitive dogmatic subject translates into progress, which it doesn't, the less you think about that subject and try to suppress it... harder it is to be able to deal with it and potentially resolve it
anyways.. think i ve overdid it a little bit. Imma make it brief now;
this ova has sum nice art style and the gory depictions are splendid at their peak (that titty monster with mouths on each breast is an example of that) some of the depictions are kinda weird and unrealistic sometimes and u can notice sum flaws on the drawing from time to time... but overall great animation. i was able to enjoy it.
the plot is non existent but i do love me some aesthetics and new visual content so didn't mind much about it. in conclusion...i feel like i dont need a dense plot with relatable characters all the time, theres some space in me for a quick injection of pure visual content and tbh this anime is only good at that.
