The 2nd episode of hugely controversial brutal rotoscope anime Aku no Hana has given rise to a disturbing realisation amongst viewers – that it may actually be good in spite of the heretical character designs…
Aku no omake:
The anime is apparently so loathed people (or 2ch at any rate) are starting to like it:
“I got used to it. Those girls are cute, it’s just the caps which are creepy.”
“Is the reason I found this good because of the sheer power of the original?”
“Once you get used to it, it is really good. Even the people in the screenshot threads rate it.”
“This one was too good, really exciting!”
“So it dodged the bullet by becoming a joke anime so bad it is good…”
“After watching the first episode a number of times I am inured to it and can now watch normally.”
“Humans can get used to anything, even this. I don’t even notice the design now. In fact I am really looking forward to it.”
“Everyone bashed the hell out of the first episode, but once you are used to the production style it is seriously good. That poor protagonist!”
“Creepy art, but when you use creepy art to depict creepy things, it is rather effective.”
“My eyes… they became used to this.”
“The director was saying in an interview that it was all intended to create a special atmosphere.”
“I can’t believe it, this is good. You guys bashed it so much I actually started watching it, and now it is obviously the best anime of the season!”
At first they were like “ew they character designs are sooooo ugly! Gross!” Then they looked in a mirror and realized they look just like them! When not hiding behind 5 gallons of face paint they pretty much look exactly like that.
I really liked it, it’s pretty original and also adds a lot of paranoia to the anime. I tried reading the manga but found the art extremely average, although I’ve been told that it gets better.
The manga was bad enough by itself. Why did they make a terrible anime too? My god Japan. Unfuck yourself.
f♥♥k AMD!
I think Resident Evil would be scay again if they took this art direction
