Story-

The story revolves around Lucy , a Diclonius who ends up in the first episodes escaping the government facility in which she was placed in. After a while , she appears at the side of the beach and which she is found by two other character's who will be characterized as main protagonists of the story.

And which the story continues , without any major spoilers. I'm going to say what I like about the Anime. Anyways , to start off, to me the story itself is overall nice. The character's in which are placed in overall atmosphere which matches the feeling of ... what's to go on.

Another thing , is the how the story reminds me of cat and mouse, weird comparison but listen. Lucy is the mouse , Her goal being to escape from the government which held her hostage for experimentation reasons. The cat is the Government facility trying to capture Lucy and place her back in the facility using basic force if necessary as they see her as a threat to the entirety of the world with Diclonius to them being "Dangerous Mutants".

Which is what I liked about the Anime , The constancy of the mouse having to try to escape from the cat , even if it does require necessary force against what the cat puts down as obstacles for the mouse to maneuver in.

To continue on , In the anime there is always a source of conflict between the main characters with constant flashbacks showing why/how the conflict could of have started. Everything trying to piece itself back together each episode , only to fall back down and the characters having to resolve it in hopes that everything will just go back to how it was.

Overall , I enjoyed the story with it's elements of story which to me was one of the things I mostly enjoyed from the Anime itself.

Art

The art in the anime was nicely done, with the detailed art in the opening of the anime to the simplistic style of how the characters were drawn in the anime. It was overall animated nicely and wasn't overdone.


Sound

The sound for the anime was nice , starting with the intro all the way over to the ending and its osts which were included along in the anime. The voice acting for the characters were nice as well , as with the voice fitting the characters personality's was a good touch.

The intro and ending was amazing , fitting along with the theme of the story. Overall , everything was nicely put together.

Character

The character's were overall nice , Everyone of them portraying their own personality in their own manner. Although I did have a slight grudge for one of them, I still liked what each of them brought to the table. Their personality in which matches to what goes on throughout the story. How they react to certain situations and the environment around them.

Overall , the characters weren't straight out bland or remained the same throughout the story.

Enjoyment

Like from my review of HSL , I was recommended this Anime and for such to say , I highly enjoyed watching this anime. Now , it's kind of rare for me to review an Anime I don't like (Such as SAO) , But to be honest I did really enjoy watching what was going on. So to keep this part of the review short , In all honesty this Anime was a sight to see.

Overall

Overall , I really enjoyed this Anime and would recommend this to anyone who wants to start watching any psychological/horror Anime.

Story

I really like the story for the anime, the parts I liked about it was the fact that there were some parts of it which allowed characters to change in show a different side of them. This is what is part of the character development which is what I like about the anime. The reason why it develops their character it’s because it can show the darker side or the shadow of what a character can be.

This can change a character from being static to a round or dynamic character. This is what happens throughout the story which is to me makes the story ... interesting. It also develops the story arc which can fully change towards the end depending on how the characters act.

Although I would want to say more about the story , I wouldn’t want to accidentally add in spoilers so I’m just going to end the review here.

Overall , the story part of the anime is great and contributed greatly to the anime.

Art

The art of the anime to me can reflect off the story of the anime , the reason why I say that is because the art style can both get off a “cute and dark” vibe to it. This style can contribute to what the story can bring to the table. Honestly , I do love the style and overall it can reflect along with characters and sound and style.

Sound

The Anime starts off with its intro/opening which I do enjoy with its nice aesthetic style to it. it’s both cute and dark, like I said in the art part of the review it can contribute to the anime and story well. The voice acting for the characters do match with their personality (I watched the subbed version so I don’t know what the dubbed one sounds like.)

Although one of the characters voice was undoubtably annoying (not going to say which) , it still added to their personality. Overall , I say everything sound wise is good.

Character

I enjoy the characters of the story , to me what makes their personality change throughout the anime is what I like about them. If they didn’t change throughout the story and just stay static then what would be to like about them. Character development and having this change throughout the story’s atmosphere is what I like about the Anime.

The atmosphere and what happens to certain characters that change them can really contribute to the story. If it hadn’t then I guess the characters would of just stayed static and the story might of just stayed onto a different track.

Overall I like being able to see what happened to the character in the past that can show how the character became that way. It’s like a nice addition to the story.

Enjoyment

I got recommended to this anime by forums, I decided to start out with this anime and go through and watch the whole thing by scheduling how many episodes I should watch for it. And I was able to go through with that schedule since it went by rather nicely. I enjoyed the anime and my thoughts on it would be probably put rather nicely.

Overall , I enjoyed it and if it ever got a spin off or another season then I would totally go for a watch on it.

Overall

Overall , I enjoyed it and would watch it again if I could. Everything I liked about is why I rate the anime a full 10/10.
