Aesthetic whirlwind with a sprinkle of a coherent storyline
I came in the show with low expectations and tried avoid it because of the low reviews on Amazon. Eventually watched it because of Kaho. I was pleasantly surprised with the cinematography which I think makes it worth watching even if you don’t end up finishing it. It is really beautiful and a lot of hard work was put into it with the design, costumes, acting,. If you’ve watched True Blood then this is an easy show for you because the blood and gore is on the same level. After episode 5 I was just speed running the episodes because as beautiful as the show was the storyline was just getting more and more plot holes I couldn’t ignore. The storyline with the humans was tiring and dumb and Manami was tiring and dumb. It was a fun watch in the beginning but you never end up caring about watching the any of the characters and where their story would end up. If it wasn’t for my excitement of seeing the actors portray their characters I think I would’ve dropped the show sooner. All in all Kaho and Shinnosuke Mitsushima were my favorite to watch in both action scenes and dramatic scenes.
