Cagaster of an Insect Cage

The story is really one that will pull your heart strings if you are able to get past the bad animations. I would personal recommend watching it with the ORIGINAL voice actors (Japanese) to get the actual feeling of the series. I agree that we need to stick with either high performance CGI animations or hand drawn, but for the sake of a great story line I would watch it again.

I matter of fact, they did an astounding job, the artwork and the plot. I even binge watched the entire season. I would recommend this to anyone who likes trying new things, etc. 10/10

Story is very good 👍 Animation and CGI is not perfect Character development is perfect Overall A very interesting anime.

This was a little hard to get into, but eventually it turned out ok once the main story arc got going. I have only watched what was the 1st 12 of the anime in Dub on the Netflix, so do not know much about the rest of story from manga. This story has a lot of characters where you can easily just HATE, especially the military villains. One huge missed opportunity is with the English cast....you have a character who is a macho male crossdresser who looks very similar to the great Willem Dafoe, but they did not cast him for the voice over! Rest of cast is ok, Johnny Yong Bosch is one of the voices, can literally never go wrong with him.

I see a lot of people talking about the animation issues. I will admit that's bad, but it's not what kills this show for me. What really destroys it is the uncomfortable way the show treats age and sexuality.

Incest is an accepted part of the show. Even if it isn't REAL incest, the implication is certainly made that we are supposed to understand it to be. Furthermore, Kidow and Ilie's relationship is strange and uncomfortable. The age gap is never properly established, but soldiers call him "sensei", so he's implied to be older. Compound that with the time he just about rapes her and DOES exert physical power over her, and it's.... problematic. ESPECIALLY when you add in the sexual relationship he had with an older woman when he was a child.

This is... bad. It's real bad.
