feels like nobody bloody waits to do reviews and i really think MAL should ban reviews until atleast episode 6.

all negative reviews complain about the same thing "idk whats going on characters are the exact same" no shit retards its been 4 episode how much character development do you think can happen in that short of a time frame especially when there is a massive world to build foreshadowing, and intrigue to design as well as a narrative to formulate.

all characters have soul. 10 episodes in an even though i know just the names and faces of the background characters that alone makes the ... world feel alive. and because ive seen their faces from episode 2 onwards i am familiar with them. unlike in most anime where background characters are brown haired faceless goons "pick the protagonaist" is a game that cannot be played with this line up.

characters are set up as people they have unique personalities and backstories and they can come and go from the story but because the cast is massive you might think this is hard to manage but they never go into to much detail. there is enough intrigue left in all the characters that you dont feel bogged down with remembering to much lore but you feel connected enough that if something bad happened to them then you would feel a degree of some form of an emotion. unlike in say Naruto my hero or any other anime when a side character gets removed from the story its expected. this show has game of thrones level "oops there gone now" there is no regard for characters, they are all relevant and all irrelevant at the same time.

even though some characters are weak and you think ah there done for they never are or sometimes they are you don't know and i really enjoy that.

the lore of the world hasn't quite been explained but in 10 episodes i've learnt a lot more questions have been raised than those answered but the questions are always answered right when they need to be. the world is alive and you exist in it through the point of view of bam who knows nothing.

so to all the people complaining about knowing nothing about the world i say, you have no tolerance for art, lack creativity and imagination.

the foundation of this show is your own personal thoughts on the world and the characters that inhabit it. the world is simply a backdrop for some of the best characterisation in anime history. the world exists to be told through the lens of its characters because we the viewers are also characters in this story. for us to immediately have king jahad levels of knowledge of the tower and its world would defeat the purpose of the journey us and the characters are taking together.

buckle up because this show will very quickly turn into this generations one piece.

alternate name for this anime: black haired woman ruins litterally everything

jesus chrst she is a retard, she goes on and on about how what they do is wrong and creates evil in people that "wasnt there before" when in episode 3 two people were in the same situation as everyone else and they didn't do anything evil.

this anime seems to disregard the first 8 episodes as if they never happened and only use the final 4 as the actually story line canon.

there is ample evidence to suggest what the arbiters are doing is not only correct but the single best way to pass judgement.

people have ... latent evil residing in them if pushing someone to the edge of explosion cause them to lash out then who is to say there reincarnated soul wouldn't lash out without provocation

the 2 people i mention from episode 3 were in the same situation as most people and yet they chose to befriend each other and not go into all out violence like the mother or most of the characters.

the test is designed to show the most raw emotions of the humans soul, and it does every single time. decim and the black haired woman's notion that it creates the darkness in the soul is not only ridiculous but completely false
the game does its job and is the perfect way to weigh the human soul
much like the scales in ancient Egypt the weighing of the feather and heart could swing in the wrong direction for the person being weighed even if they lived righteous and just lives because of dormant traits that when provoked would cause an explosion, the world is a terrible place and at any given time someone could be pushed to explosion (take literally any bullied school shooter for example) and this show does an excellent job of showing that.

however the super cringe ending makes basic facts about human psychology completely redundant because some twink and her black haired human decided it wasn't the best way

the writer of the show has never done a course in psychology and clearly understands very little about the human psych
up until the major turn of events it does a brilliant job of representing the emotions of people,
this show is let down by its completely ridiculous logic and utter drivel creating the worst and least logical ending

im going to break this abysmal hunk of shit down into stages

story
the story at a glance seems very interesting and highly developed for the first 5 episodes until it breaks down into a literal shit show of "world building" where they seem to just throw shit in to make everything seem more dark and brooding and it killed the vibe of the show. it went from a run of the mill psych anime to a post apoc psych horror detective mystery.

art
the art style was nothing special at all its standard episode art was quite shit considering the time it was released however the ED ... of a few episodes had the most beautiful stylized pop up book Esq artwork iv seen to date. sound
there isn't much to say really

characters
WEEEEEW LAD this was the biggest setback of this entire show and was 100% the reason i was put on a crash course to hate this show. you have a bunch of kids known for being super duper good at something and that is there niche, sounds interesting right? you'd be right it is interesting it would have been more interesting if the characters actually played out and acted as if they were super duper good at their talent but for the majority of the show nobody's talents are useful past the first episode and the writers seem to have forgotten in the first episode they labelled everyone as things like baseball player or a biker or a prefect and for the most part those tropes didn't carry over into later episode. ESPECIALLY with the main character. who in his first monologue states that he is nothing special doesn't really have much brains or athletic ability and only got into the school by luck they back this up by making him the only person with normal character art, standard color pallets and classic slice of life brown bowl cut you know yugioh background character stuff. however throughout the entire show he is the most smart and most useful fucking person and he basically carries everyone in his class by solving every murder him self even though there is another character whose specific trope is that she is a detective and she basically did fuck all but complain about her dad. she was the smart detective but she did little to no detecting and the stupid lucky kid ended up being a literal light yagami it was beyond retarded

enjoyment
constantly seeing the same episode structure followed up by the same character contradictions killed this show for me. it had no flow and was only consistent at being a fucking joke of an anime.

i would have rather run 300km than watch this hunk of shit

dont waste your time its piss and youll regret it

sasuke's book wasn't necessary. itachi's books were amazing and gave a new insight into his backstory and really fleshed out his characters inner turmoil much more than in the anime. the English translation had a few doubled words and misspellings but it didn't take anything away from how good it was.

the books looked into alot more than i thought they would and they changed my opinion on the tsukiyomi. the book made me realise that it is probably not a good thing to have happen to the world while during the anime i was confused as to why people opposed it so much

normally while watching an anime i can switch between tabs without much fear of missing out on any plot or dialogue. for probably the first time, ive been geniuenly enraptured by an anime. i couldnt switch tabs and found myself unable to sleep without seeing what happened in the next episode.

during episode 9 and 10 i was completely lost for words and had no idea what to think. to many of the characters had traits that related to friends i had in the past. the culmination of emotion exploding in those episodes left me completely shattered.

ive never seen a show quite like this.
