Just because the characters in the anime have a dark past, it doesn't make the anime suddendly good. Just because it shows dark stuff, it isn't some masterpiece of psychological thriller...
First of all, all of the situations must be coherent, without convenience for some characters but this is far from the case.
I am not asking for it to be 'realistic', but at least believable given there doesn't seem to exist 'magic' in the world.
Characters : Same shit as other animes. 4/10, 4 score for a decent MC.
Story: Mediocre, convenience upon convenience upon convenience, 2/10
The 1 is just for the fact that japanese authors seem to not be able to produce any dark narrative without inserting animal rape, which is indeed a dark narrative, but has also become convenient and cheap given the abuse of it.
I will write a list of plot holes and too many conveniences, and this isn't referring just to the anime, includes the VN as well:
- School that is supposed to be for students with a 'dark' past, but hosts JUST 5 females. Wow, Japan must have advanced a lot... it shows it is fiction eh...
- 1 teacher teaches all the subjects
- Bipolar Schizo, with one half remembering everything, while the other half forgetting when the other takes control, convenience
- Cat that dies on the side walk but seemed a car hit him????
- Rich Man not having an entire team of CSI inspecting her daughter dead body, or the house, convenience
- Being able to get a realistic dead body that looked exactly like someone, convenience
- Truck speeding exactly near a park for children, killing parents that BOTH ran and stopped in the middle of the road, comically i have to add
- Being able to buy and being able to perfectly time and sync to a sole controller tens of gas tanks, bombs and other explosives with no prior knowledge, the school doesn't question what you buy
- School bus having camp tents and food supplies including plastic bottles
- Literally a genius girl deciding to stay in the same place 13 days, no explanation, even after find a running river with potable water
- No search team being able to find a huge ass bus for 13 days that didn't drown. Where were they going? Antartica? Because else, the searching team should have a lead just by following the ruotes that could be taken from whever they were going to whever they were going ( the school should know this at least, even if they took shotcutes ). Then you crosscheck with any cameras available on street. But nothing like this happened and they seemed to have stranded on an island, convenience for the author to write his cheap ass lord of the flies.
- Cellphones not woking within 10 mt from a huge ass road, convenience.
- Teacher unable to find anything for 3 days, while a child finds the way out with a map (made with convenience), but without having any direction tool available
- Supposed genius girl deciding to show the dumb girl a literal sex scene instead of... you know... getting the fuck out of there.
- Supposed genius girl telling the dumb girl to 'not make a noise even if you see hell'. Didn't think that trough eh, smart kiddo. Unfortunately, a genius in a fictional work can only be, at most, as smart as the author...
- Child that had problem running, suddendly can after leaving her best friend to die, wow, so deep.
- Mad childrens, supposed to be sleeping, that suddendly had the coordination capacity of a organized secret group and decided to hunt exactly the good guys, but not themselves, convenience
- Malnourished child fending off 2 other childrens that weren't as malnourished as they became cannibals, convenience
- Somehow being able to make 11 corspe with 10 bodies , and the comparison was a carrot. Lmao
- Whole story line was so shit, holy cow. I just went on to see how that white haired child could survive and, should have expected, the author made her be the sacrifice for... a stupid ass girl that learned nothing during the 14 days.
- Bomb Terrorist can enter school, with a huge ass giant gun sack and the gate are opened to him, no question asked, convenience
- Literal bull shit line of story writing ending, so much luck and convenience happened for the terrorist to be in the position MC needed, lol, convenience
- and lets add he didn't only 'seek justice' but was a rapist too
