Housing Complex C

This show literally has next to nothing to do with the promotional material they teased. The show has basically zero real horror elements and the show ends like immediately after it gets barely interesting. Not only did they end it as early as possible, they also write the most insipid story and ending to their already half-baked story. Do yourself a huge favor and don't waste a single second on this abysmal garbage fire of an anime. I know horror anime in general is severely underrepresented, but trust me, if you saw the promo material and you're interested in the show like I was, don't waste your time.

First off this is a Cartoon Network exclusive, which probably explains why it isnt available in Japanese with English subs. It's also a 4 episode miniseries, which in itself isnt really bad but should be a red flag that CN cheaped out on this. There's also some preachy nonsense about race relations that really clues you in that an idiot Westerner had this commissioned to serve as a vehicle for their precious MESSAGE.

Because of the brevity the final episode feels incredibly rushed, with the majority of it being two long, nonsensical diatribes of exposition that would have been better served spread out across the earlier episodes. Instead we get an Abrams-style mystery box that only opens in the unsatisfying finale. At least there's some pretty wild gore in the last few minutes. Not a recommend.

Well it's anime, it's every bit as nauseating, childish and lame as you would expect it to be. I had some hope for it because I have seen decent horror series from Japan in the 90's and 2000's (think Pet Shop of Horrors, Blood the Last Vampire). I personally believe over dramatized reactions and squeaky girl voices have ruined anime, sadly this series is no exception. And no, I don't think a Japanese dub would have improved upon this, it is fundamentally flawed in the story and the characters themselves. A whiny Japanese girl is just as bad as an English one. The horror elements fail to impress, they're crudely drawn and actually make me laugh, there's no suspense, just a lot of little girls squealing and being obnoxious. Similar to Korean dramas the tone is literally all over the place and ruins the mood completely. If you're not an anime fan this is definitely a hard pass, there's nothing of substance here.

One of the biggest problems with horror anime is they just don't have the darkness or the atmosphere to really do it. There is something with digital animation that just destroyed horror.

The story is just so wordy there's constant dialogue. It does become interesting in the last episode, little fun.

The horror is just not really there and it's becomes funny. I think maybe if it was life action it could work. But the is just something about anime horror that doesn't work.

The character designer is Yoshitoshi Abe, the man that did Serial Experiments Lain and Texhnolyze.

These character designs look so bland I was in disbelief. Neither he's character designs have gotten worse lately or the animators could not transfer it.

It does become so bad, It's good. After all that talking something finally happens and then it's over at least it's only 4 episodes, so it's not totally worthless.

I seen many good horror anime's like Elfen Lied, Corpse Party, Shiki, Paranioa Agent, Berserk, Monster, When They Cry, Another, and etc. But this horror anime created by Adult Swim was so awful that it annoy me. The story was rush and lack with a lot of plot holes. Being four episode it explain to much in less but also less explain with too much going on. The characters were awful from the way they were drawn, to their voice over, and their backstories which needed more in an expand of 12 episodes. As me being a big fan of horror anime, this anime is definitely on the bottom of the list as worst.
