Atria35's Review This is one of the anime that sticks with you. From the mystery behind Little Slugger, to the paranormal happenings around town, to the psychological events that make you wonder what’s reality and fantasy, to the mastermind behind it all which creates a criticism of Otakudom, this has it all The unnerving opening really makes you pay attention to what’s going to happen long before the show starts going. The dissonance between the people and the realities of what’s happening give you the first clue as to what this anime is going to be about and be like. Then you get into the story. Almost all of the episodes feature you slipping into their private lives and their minds, exploring the stress that’s acting on them and what could possibly make them targets for the Slugger. And when they finally catch up to the Slugger….. you discover that it may be more than anyone ever expected. Each story builds on the others. Each lends a clue as to what’s really happening, and even then you can never imagine what really lies behind it all. Or perhaps you can. Even so, this is a story within a story. Violence/Gore- People are hit very hard by Little Slugger. Some bleed, soem don't. One person is outright killed (offscreen). A few others are impled to have been caused by him. Nudity/Sexual Content- There’s implied child pornography/incest of a sort. Theological Themes- This gets a little psychological, and at one point it's thought that Little Slugger might be a magical being of sorts. He's not. |
