This is my first review of an anime, so I'm sorry if its lackluster...

Anyways, Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge (The Severing Crime Edge) is about a boy who has a fetish for hair and stumbles upon a girl who turns out to have uncuttable hair. After a lot of trying and testing, the MC's pair of scissors (inherited from his ancestor) turn out to be able to cut her hair. Sure, everything seems fine and dandy now, now that the heroine can return to a normal life, but this is not the case. Sort of.

As a result of their apparently fated meeting, this sparked a ... game that would involve killing, and lots of it. To an extent. Now, the MC must protect the heroine from the killers.

Now this may seem like a typicable protect the girl thing, it's sort of not. This anime has cases of horror, romance, adventure, etc. so you're bound to see lots if genre switches. And this anime does it a lot.

This anime has a strange enticing feeling that once you start, you feel compelled to finish it. You may not like it, but it is worth a try. It's not the best, or the worst. But it's unique, as its a Jack of All Trades anime. Meaning as I stated before, has lots of genres; it doesn't excel in any 1 or is bad at any of them, it has a good balance of the genres presented.

Anyways, the art is ok, not the best not the worst. It's good, but there's better. Some things however, will obstruct your vision, so that may break your concentration. And these are easily seen. Fanservice, however, is rather prominent, so expect that... It's ok at some parts, but becomes rather annoying as its used more...

The sound is really good, especially the fight scenes, as some fight themes are rather agitating, and provide some nice ambience. The opening and endings are also pretty good, as the opening evokes excitement and agitation, while the endings can provide bittersweet feelings, or blissfulness. And you'll know which will provide...

The characters... Are interesting... Every single opponent seems to have a fetish of some sort... And some seem to be driven to their instincts... However, most, if not all, opponents, will at 1 point, make you feel sorry for them... By the way, that is only able 2/3's of the cast... There are a few regular school characters in here, whose only real purpose is to provide information or some backstory. Or just filler.

All in all, this anime is not for everyone, but is pretty interesting and can keep you on the edge of your seat, or feeling like it's been an eternity, and you'll just want to move on. Personally, I enjoyed this anime, and liked how it tried to balance all it's genres. Sure, it could have done a little better, but that doesn't mean it should be horrible, right?
