Shojo Tsubaki is easily the worst anime i've ever seen. Sure, the art is really beautiful, however anime is not supposed to be a powerpoint presentation, i can hardly say it was actually animated. But that's to be expected considering there was only one person working on it. Why was there only a single man working on this anime? Because no one else wanted to. If you want to start a new project and everyone you ask for help on it declines, maybe reconsider starting it at all. Now, the plot. There was hardly any plot. The storyline only seemed as an excuse to exhibit gore and obscurities. Those things are not inherently a bad thing in art, however there has to be a clear reason, a message or a statement, at least just a bit thought behind it in order for it to be tasteful. Shojo Tsubaki had neither. It was just gore for gore's sake. The disturbing scenes in this anime weren't the front for something else, it was just that - disturbing scenes. I even watched an interview of Hiroshi Harada to maybe see if there was something I was missing or if I just straight up misunderstood the whole thing, but no. The dude's just a tryhard edgelord. Props to him for being so dedicated to making something that was trash from the very beginning.
