Here's a quickie review.

So I watched this anime because of the 2019 anime challenge and one of the challenges was to watch an anime with 10 or more episodes and with episodes that are 15 minutes or less, and so I stumbled across this anime. Yeah this anime bored me. Has all the anime tropes you see in just about 90% of anime you've seen. It just gets old. It has the lack luster comedy with all the misunderstandings , the annoying screechy characters, the highschool setting etc. If the episodes were 23 minutes instead of 3, I don't even think that would help it ... at all because there will just be more boring stuff going in the show. Nothing about this was all that memorable. I guess i'm giving it a 3/10 just because it ended quickly.

"Let me be a hero!" - Gamon (Episode 12)

This is one of those anime where there are going to be alot of haters and alot of praisers I think. There are going to be people that will say... "This anime is too confusing, I have no idea what is happening, my brain is killing me." and people who are like... "This anime is so smart with it's story, it totally makes sense... omg, give me more plz!" To me, this anime does start out very very confusing, then I was like... DAMN!!! Let's get to the pros and cons of things.
*
*

Story - 7/10

Cons:
Oh What a ... Rush! - Ok, the main problem is in it's first 3 episodes in this anime and it's how rushed and fast everything is going. It was very hard to tell what was happening because 1... The dialogue was going so fast that I had to pause alot of times, take a breather, and read the subtitles again. 2... It felt more rushed then Sword Art Online, I couldn't tell at all what this anime was even about in it's first 3 episodes. At least in SAO, the rushed mess that that anime is, you would already know what it's about... but in this anime, you'll have a hard time understanding anything.

Pros:
Wow!... What a Twist! - This anime started to become slower at episode 5. At episode 4, I knew, I finally get to know what it's about, and things start to make sense to me. Even the dialogue was a bit slower actually. Some will say it's still fast but I noticed a change of pace in the dialogue... That's probably just me idk. Anyway, the story was no longer too complicated to me, and when things started to pick up and become interesting, I was enjoying watching these later episodes. This story has alot of neat surprises that are dark and intriguing. You get to know why and how this mass suicide happened. I love these types of stories so much, it does remind me of Steins;Gate a little. It's also fun to make your own theories for later episodes. The last episode was actually just good, it wasn't anything too spectacular until the last couple scenes.


Characters - 6/10

Cons:
*Can you repeat that again please? - The character, they talk too fast for me, especially in the early episodes, they were talking like freaks. A lot of times the characters would talk over other characters. Where I have to pay attention to what both of them are saying. Again though, to me, they're talking has slowed down a bit in the later episodes but still though.

*Big Melons - So there is this one main female character whos, and you probably already know about this... It's that girl Ryouka. Her tits are just too big, like idk how she is even standing, dancing, and running around. They're bigger than the girls breasts from Highschool of the Dead I believe, and it's just too much. It's pretty unnecessary, It's very distracting.... Like i know there is alot of fan service in alot of different anime, even anime that aren't ecchi anime, but this is seriously dumb.

*Annoying - Sometimes, Gamon can be pretty dumb and annoying. In the very first episode, he picks up a knife that has blood all over it, and he acts like he doesnt notices it. He finds it, starts playing with it, then finds a dead body 10 seconds later, then finally realizes he's got blood all over the palm of his hand. Also, this dudes panics are so annoying sometimes, that's when he never stops talking and slows down. Like, yeah I would be spooked if I was in his situations too, but still, this guy needs a fucking chill pill. He's also the least interesting character in my opinion.

Pros:
*Personality - Yeah, alot of these characters are pretty damn interesting though, even Ryouka, you might think she's just there for laughs and giggles but no, she adds alot to the story in this anime. And that surprised me, when she showed her true self to Gamon, that blew my fucking mind. Also, the detective dude, Shun, has such a funny personality, I like how he gets into everyones business, sometimes making jokes at them, annoying them, scaring them, and sometimes just having a normal conversation. He's such a funny dude, he's me laugh quite a bit here. Other characters I find interesting is Aria, who talks to that ghost looking dude, she's pretty cool. Also Touko is a very good character, I like how serious she can be, and she's always seems to make really good choices too.

*Development - Most of these characters had some pretty decent development here. Like Aria, we get to see alot of her past with her and her brother. And we get to see why she is who she is now. We get to learn Sarai's past a bit, with him and his father. Ryouko actually had some major development, in the later episodes. And it was all surprising to me, something that happened to her that I never saw coming. Miyuu gets some development as when she loses he friend. And also the gay bartender gets some good development, we learn alot about him in the later episodes.

Art - 10/10

Pros :
I gotta say, I was a huge fan of the art and animation of this series. IT had it's own unique style and it's a style I really like. I also love the character designs. Most of them, because...well... ya know lol... All of the character designs were pretty unique as well. I haven't notices any derps on the characters faces either. The artist really paid close attention to detail, even on the things you won't notice in a scene, and I'm a big fan of that.


Sound - 7/10

Pros: The Op and Ed was nothing too special, it was just... good. I wasn't loving it, I wasn't hating it... I just kinda like it. The OST was pretty good. Had some pretty spooky sounds in scenes where things were getting... ya know, pretty spooky, and those sounds were nice to my ears actually, I liked those sounds lol. And sounds that were not so spooky were ok as well. No big complaints here. It was all just slightly above average.

Enjoyment - 9/10

I gotta say though, despite the complaints I had with this series, I enjoyed this anime a ton. I loved the twists, I loved the nasty reveals of the characters, I love the development of the characters, and I love the interesting story. Story is only a 7 becasue of it's major issue in the first few episodes, I can't give it any higher than that even though I loved it, because of the huge rush. But yeah, I definitely enjoyed this anime, again it's not for everyone, some people aren't going to get it, and will probably drop it before things get intense... but it's whatever.

I'm giving this anime a strong 8 to a light 9. Thanks for reading this, have a good one guys :)

I love the story, I love the characters, and I love the OST. I love how unique the story was, it's finally something different from the norm of recent anime.
I get there are some people who are annoyed by the Opening, that it's loved so much and that it doesn't fit well with the anime which it doesn't honestly, but yes, it's pretty damn good.
I loved the main character Decim. I get that we see alot of heartless characters in anime, but this is a character who literally doesn't have a heart lol. He gets so much good character development, especially in the last ... 4-5 episodes. Also the main female character gets really good development as well.
I don't understand why some people can rate this a below a 7, it's definitely not bad at all. I loved every single time when we got to see characters play these games and see them learn what happened to them. That was entertaining as hell. Some were depressing, but pretty entertaining lol.
The OST fits so well during intense moments in this anime.

P.S. I showed this anime to my mom who doesn't watch anime, and she watched all the way through and loved it. It was nice having her seeing it and get to see her reactions lol.

Honestly, it was really boring to me that I almost fell asleep. Also the ending just came out of no where. Idk is this is a spoiler but I don't care because this movie is like 22 years old, but when the 2 main characters were like, "We should get married someday."..."Yeah! We should!"... then the credits just roll up. I was like..."Wait....That's the ending?" It caught me by surprise.

The Story was boring, I couldn't get myself into it. It's just about this nerd girl who loves to read and she learns new things and she hangs out with this kid who she has ... a bit of a crush on later on. Idk, there just wasn't much too it.
