Oh my where to begin
Story: So very much could be said, but i like to keep my reviews short. So basically my two cents are such.... This show's story is good, and yet it is dressed up (or perhaps undressed?) by a vastly overindulgence in nudity and gore. I really found the whole thing indecent even for an anime. parts of it work and parts don't.
Allot of people get onto the topics of child abuse, trauma, amnesia, and the effects of the way people are treated, when they discuss this show. And you know it does cover some of that stuff and in an interesting way, however for every instance of each of these there are probably 20 people dismembered. My point is this, sure the show has some good topics, but it doesnt really stick well when you have so much gore and nudity on top of it.
Art: Fair, the intro is cool , but the rest of the intro is only average.
Sound: The opening song is cool, but the rest of the anime is once again nothing to jump out of your chair at.
Character: Well in this aspect the show is quite a mixed bag, and i feel like going into it a bit.
Kouta was nothing special, really quite stock, with the exception of his whole trauma condition, but that isn't really enough to make him exceptional.
Nana, well she was cute, after her whole diluted "i have to kill you so daddy will love me" spaz at least. I felt disgusted by having seen her naked so much though.
Nyu was.... well not so good, i mean it's Chii (from chobits) with pink hair!
no seriously, Lets make a similarity check list
special powers X
Naive in a lovable way X
Cute X
Horns X
Amnesia X
obedient X
forgotten personality X
inappropriate X
can only say one (nonsensical) word X
there are more things but this could take forever X and X
Lucy, on the other hand was quite to my liking. To be honest i used to have this ongoing imaginary story in my head with a similar main character. having said that please don't call my psychiatrist. But seriously, she is interesting. Despite the fact that she is completely psychotic you can kinda sympathize with her, and if you think about it, if you were here you would have probably done about the same thing.
beyond that i have little to say about the other characters
Enjoyment: I am not going to lie, i like gore, so i enjoyed this. however it could have undoubtedly been better.
