    nah
    you can hate it but it's hella original, unique atmosphere and all
    haven't watched it in 10 years, literally, but there are so many dumb, bland anime that it's just plainn wrong to call this a bad show imo

    Man this s--- has no redeeming qualities at all. The animation was janky and outdated even at the time, the voice acting is horrible in both languages, the characters are all bland stereotypes, and the plot only exists in the loosest sense as an excuse to throw the characters into increasingly violent situations. It’s not even an effective horror anime, throwing gore at the screen does not = scary. s--- was bland edgy garbage that even edgy teen Winter thought was tryhard

    I actually mostly agree with you, it's obviously not a horror anime, so what?
    it's never edgy (why would it need to be?), it's absurdly gory but doesn't try to scare, and somehow sexual without ever being effectively erotic... the whole thing barely has any plot, and the characters all feel like they have no soul or real personality

    again, despite (and partly thanks to) all these huge flaws I was well aware of, 14-year-old-me still felt like it successfully installed a strange/dream-like atmosphere... There are so many uninteresting shonen rip-offs in the anime world that I think it's unfair to call it a particularly bad show

    A lot of people like it for some reason, a little too much, I had some pretty good first impressions, but I honestly couldn't get past 4 episodes. It just feels so dry and uninspired to me. Maybe it's my taste.

    I’m a couple episodes in. Seems like it has potential to be at least decent. Doesn’t seem like something I’m going to fall in love with. But bringing people back is interesting. Like who knows what that character is going to bring to the table when they bring them back?
