Synopsis
Comments
Nothing whatsoever is appealing for me in this first episode. save for its premise. A thriller mystery with a touch of horror, supernatural and exorcism, throw in a little bit of conspiracy, and you’ve got an intricate premise. But, there are tons of anime with good premise, only to bust in its execution.
On the top of uninspiring characters, there are too many information–and possibly a subplot, too–being shown to the audience. Add to that a bunch of side characters whose name or face are unmemorable, it’s a muddy first episode. Abruptly thrown, with almost no room for the audience to breath and to make sense what just happened. All these “dumping” makes the supposedly thrilling revelation of the mystery at the end of the episode all the more barren.
Thus, sadly, I am to say that I do not recommend this one series. All and all, though, it’s just the first episode. Feel free to hope it’ll get any better.
