Third season ruined it all.
Oh Pupa, such a weird little thing. I doubt there was a show that pissed off more people this season (following into Aku no Hana's footsteps)! The key factor to the problem is the episode runtime - just four minutes (with about two of those being taken up by the OP and ED). With this little time Studio DEEN deceided it would be a good idea to adapt a vore-themed story about a brother and a sister that was originally told in a three volume manga. Helmed by a not unexpirienced director (Tomomi Mochizuki) it leaves many questions about their true intentions. The art is not pretty, the episodes rather disconnected, the voice acting not very good and even the SFX sound rather low quality. Then there is also it's content; with cannibalism being a core theme airing them anyways but censoring the shit out of them with shadow/light-overlays... what is the point? They should have released these as OVAs but with a longer runtime or something like that. Nothing is resolved and the last episode is a flashback to when they were little kids and being all cute... It was never a good story anyways but certainly more coherent than this. Maybe they just wanted to take the piss out of some of the more energic fans obssession over little sisters or something (which 1x06 Encroach seems to hint at). If you want to watch it I'd suggest waiting for an uncensored release, it only takes you half an hour anyways.
For those looking for anything deep behind sibling relationships I'd suggest to take a look at this behind the scenes to see that Sayaka Mogi didn't have much in mind when thinking this thing up: http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/tv/imagine/flv20140213_archive.html
Ok so, this show is basically a Death Note inspired trashy teen horror. It has nothing really to offer a viewer or fan of horror. It is cheesy, horrifically voice acted and the plot is just so nonsensical, that there really is no point in watching this. Death Note will always be one of the greats in anime horror and having fun and also playing it smart at the same time. But this series is just a cash-grab on the dark gorey tropes that this genre has sadly spiralled into. After finishing the whole season and seeing those dreaded words after a bad show: "to be continued", just makes me even more depressed than the show wanted me to feel for these unlikeable characters. So yes, this show has confirmed for a second season and I shall be watching it to please my OCD.
Good anime adaptation for the manga written by Gantz creator Hiroya Oku. Clearly influenced by other great shows including Death Note, Parasyte: The Maxim, or even Oku's Gantz. The generation gap, critique of the social media are recurring themes. The 2 main characters are interesting, Hiro has a personality more complex than meets the eye. Good use of CGI, especially in the fighting scenes, the OP song is really well chosen. BANG!
This show has great animation (especially movement), a brilliant character design, nice opening and ending songs, great character development and an overall gripping story. What more do you need? Haikyuu!! is the best new sports drama in recent years (except Ping Pong).
This is such an unbelievably feel-good anime that you just can't help but smile and cheer through every episode! The characters, the animation, the story-telling... everything about this anime is fantastic. You could go into this show knowing nothing about volleyball and after watching just a few episodes, want to pick it up yourself. It's just that good.
Prepare to have your mind blown. This is "food porn" at it's absolute best. A must-watch for sure.
great plot. awesome art and animation. PERFECT opening and ending! also keep an eye out for one punch man easter eggs theyre everywhere lol
