Synopsis ~
The dark fantasy
follows a high school sophomore named Akihito Kanbara. Although the boy appears
human, he is half youmu and invulnerable to wounds because he can heal quickly.
One day, Akihito meets freshman Mirai Kuriyama when it seems she is about to
jump from the school rooftop. Mirai is isolated because of her ability to
manipulate blood, which is unique even among members of the spirit world.
Disturbing events begin to unfold after Akihito saves Mirai.
Dopes Says ~
Before I start this is my personal opinion of course, I don’t
think anyone will agree to it but for me its what I enjoyed. The story is like
a train ride, slow at first before it gradually runs its course and then stops.
So from what I can write about this its my humble opinion of it, the story
itself was adapted from a light novel and from I experienced not all light
novels get great adaptations so for me this is a good as it got.

What I enjoyed about this Anime was the interesting plot
of this show. There is something about this that caught my eyes; the story
itself was what got me interested. I liked that it was exploring many ideas
with this, and how few characters were present due to all that went around. I
liked the idea of demons and humans getting together. I liked that Akihito is
the main character who had a very vulnerable yet powerful side to him.
For me the characters were not overly dramatized but good
enough. I liked the connection between Akihito and his friends but they all
lacked character development for me. Because it was short it didn’t cover
everything we wanted to know, it was like a quick rush of explanation which
could have developed slowly with more drama. But that’s my opinion. Although I
do love Akihito and Mirai’s connection towards each other I thought it was what
made the show to be honest.
Mirai for a main character was a ball of worries but she
was still badass, I liked her quirky side and her stupid side. She hid a lot
but didn’t reveal too much but for the show it was too quick at the end which
was disappointing but what can you do.
The music has got to be my favourite; I enjoyed every
part of it! I don’t mind what people say about it but for me it gripped me in a
lot. I loved the opening and endings to it and it made it more bearable when
they crossed over the episodes at the end.
The art works amazing, what can you expect from Kyoto
animation, such fluidity and of course the scenary were breathtaking. The
colours although dark was exceptional I don’t think I will get tired of it if I
saw it again. I thought the action
scenes were the best they were very vast and really entertaining.
Dopes dislikes ~
There were a lot of inconsistent issues with the storyline
there was many unanswered questions and so forth. They weren’t developed enough
and I didn’t expect that it would consider the episodes and all. There is more
but you know every Anime has flaws! They could have gone more in depth with the
beyond the boundary side of the part!
Dopes Concludes ~
So overall, I really enjoyed this Anime for me it was
great entertainment. I won’t lie I did get heartfelt at some scenes with Mirai.
I felt her loneliness and I felt her determination and her secrecy I also loved
the scenes with her and Akihito. How they bonded and when they ended the
episode itself, I found that beautiful. The saddest scene for me was seeing her
go and Akihito not understanding, there is always a huge presence missing when
you been with someone so long and they suddenly go. So I know a lot of people won’t agree, but
for a visual novel turned Anime I practically liked it. Although a lot of
people will say “How unpleasant” the show itself was. For me it was gold, I
will be watching again. It didn’t leave me empty feeling like most good Animes do,
although a lot of good shows get bashing but you know it’s not up to my
expectations but it was worth watching I never regretted it!
