Before we begin, I want to say I came in with high hopes for this anime, but I also had high hopes for Promised Neverland season 2.
1/10 Plot: Anime adaptation is a**. It ruins just about every good aspect of the story, including the ending. The traits of each character are far too overexaggerated and over the top to the point of being comical (keep in mind this anime still tries to take itself seriously). Watching this felt like watching Ghost Stories in SUB. As for plot, the anime roughly follows the plot of the "main" VN route, but most of the twists and turns
...
just feel 'cheap.'
7/10 Art is fine, though very early 2000s: everything is way too dark, washed out, or has an excessive amount of lens flare plastered over it, but the actual characters and backgrounds are certainly well done.
1/10 Soundtrack is not my taste. I was fine with the constant violin at first, but it just dragged on and on and on, and never seemed to stop. I'd say the soundtrack does a great job portraying one emotion, and one emotion only. You can probably see where I'm going with this...
If I could describe this adaptation in one word, it would be "melancholy" and JUST melancholy. Moments of literally any other emotion are few and far between. Moreover, if I could "unwatch" this, I would. Totally do not recommend to even my worst enemy.
Go play the original Visual Novel instead, it's so much better.
