The following may contain spoilers.
They seriously need to put warnings on the screen before hurting animals!!!! Seriously, was that really necessary? Couldn't they beat up a doll? The doggie was innocent. WARNING: The end of episode 8 contains animal abuse that is waaaay too detailed. You don't see the dog die...but you hear it.....Stupid writer putting in such an awful scene. Anyway, I should rate it 1 out of five stars just for that scene, but it wouldn't be fair. Below is the poor doggy they killed. How can you kill such a cute puppy. They got what they deserved (the second picture)
Anyway.......on to the rest of things.
I think the amount of nakedness in this show was unnecessary. Is there a reason these girls must be kept naked while being isolated and researched because I highly doubt it. Put clothes on them already and stop making your own kiddie porn. You're torturing naked girls. Call it science if you want, but I call it pedophilia.
As for the show itself, it was alright. It wasn't very exciting, but it was interesting enough for a rainy afternoon. There isn't much action or mystery or anything, just a simple story. Well, maybe not simple. The ending was half good. I say half because it only summed up one side of the story. By that I mean, we know what happened to the girls and all. Well, sort of anyway. There is the very last part where someone is at the door and the clock randomly starts working. We never get to find out what all that is about. We don't know for sure that Lucy is dead either.
However, what happens to the facility? Do they keep sending others to go after the girls? Do they continue their research? Do they go after Kouta? What was the point in showing us the guys horns? Did that woman ever get to take that bath? That whole side of things was left completely unfinished. Therefor the ending wasn't very conclusive. Maybe they planned to have a second season and never did.
It's gory and bloody and includes lots of nakedness, but that's about it. It's not the most exciting thing to watch in my opinion. It has some laughable moments, but not a whole lot. I know some people say it's "fucked up" but I don't think I would quite call it that. I'd say it's not all that weird. Okay, so the severed head on the office desk was a little bit messed up. Actually, the amount of floating severed heads is a little creepy. I think someone really likes floating heads.
The ending is a little sad. The situation with Kurama, Nana, and Mariko is rather unfortunate to say the least.
By the way, if a mutation can be born if the parent has contact with a mutation prior to conception, shouldn't someone let Kouta, Yuka, and Mayu know? I think that would be important.
Overall, I give it a 3 out of 5. They way overdid the nakedness, the ending wasn't conclusive, there wasn't much excitement, but it wasn't a total waste of time. The animation style seemed well enough and the characters were interesting. The whole dog thing though, was NOT NECESSARY!!!!!! Kill all the humans you want but damnit, leave the puppy alone!!!!!!!!!!
