Aku no Hana

I'm one of the people who can't stand how they killed the character design due to me picking the manga up when the series first started and falling in love with every aspect of it. The anime seems to be sticking true to the manga though (as far as I know). Just know that the plot gets even more dark and the anime gets better as you go on (Y). I love stories like this, I wish there were more of them.

I am absolutely loving this show. The rotoscope goes wonderfully with the subject matter, and I particularly like the attention they paid to the eyes. Lots of emotion there despite the rotoscope. And just damn what a terrible situation to be in... all around... this is definitely dealing with all the darker things one goes through when growing up. I'm feeling things I've not felt in 20 years.

I got used to the rotoscope now. (I even thought sometimes "oh it looks nice on this scene")
And this is awesome.
The rotoscope makes it different from the manga, and i don't enjoy the both of the same way. (i don't know if "enjoy" is the right word to use here though xD)
Still a lot of dark emotions, and characters are quite well portrayed.
(and the ending )

Spoiler :

And of course Nakamura HAD to see him right at that moment. Poor guy can't catch a break.

I hate this guy so much but feels sorry for him at the same time.

After the episode 5 credits, the wavy-haired director's speech bubble says, "Does this remind you of your adolescence?"

I have to admit that it does. I was totally The Awkward Kid at school. I was also targeted by The Crazy Girl. I'm glad I'm far enough removed from that situation now, that I can watch a show like this and just revel in the unbearable anxiety.

It's so much worse because you know that if Kasuga had any guts he could extricate himself, but he's not quite strong enough.

I notice it's still following the pattern of subverting common rom-com anime tropes. I watched ep5 directly after the OreImo date episode.

I can't watch more than one episode each time i sit down to watch it,i will die from sweat.Such an intense conveyance of anxiety in this anime.
