We usually watch anime under the assumption that a story can't exist for no reason, right? Well come Aku no Hana, and as intriguing as the visuals of the flower of evil, the trailer and the first episode were, it just goes nowhere, it doesn't pick up up, the ratio of psychological tension to the events happening is unbalanced, so you have a bombshell moment that leads nowhere, it defeats the point of watching a show when there is no pay off.

So enduring 12 episodes of a wimpy male lead, the same bit over and over, a ditzy love interest, a sadistic purposeless bully was all for nothing, and if you're thinking well maybe the source material has the answers, nope, it only gets more underwhelming after the show is over.

The art isn't worth it, I don't mind the style as much but it definitely caused the show to suffer, all in all, a waste of time, not worth perusing, you can read the entire story summary of off Wikipedia if still you're curious, but you're not missing much.
