DRAMAtical Murder

I almost feel bad saying this, because I am normally pro-dubbing. I love the english dubs of most anime. But this... honest to god... it feels like half the voice actors are reading the scripts for the first time. It makes everything so boring.

The only english dub that I have come across that is worse is Gravitation... because bloody hell that one is awful. But yeah... if you do watch this then watch the subtitled version.

That being said... I still wouldn't recommend this anime... even the subbed version. You need to get to about six episodes in before it starts to make much sense. At that point it becomes rather formulaic. And most of the episodes from then on are just badly orchestrated action with massive exposition dumps.

So basically... my recommendation would be that you skip this. But if you must watch it, then do yourself a favour and watch the subtitled version.

If you are not patient enough to reach the sixth episode (meaning spend over an hour), don't even start. Everything that happens until the fifth episode is fast, exciting and mysterious but with no closures! Many things happened and let you hanging, others are like you skipped an episode. Personally, when I got what all this was about I decided I wasn't interested and that's why I rated it with 4 (for wasting my time). But it's graphics and writing are good. If you are patient and the concept earn you you will probably like it (although I don't know the ending to support this theory). Personally, I think 12 episodes are not enough to conclude such a deep story. Up to episode 6 there were so many questions unanswered that it would take at least 24 I think. Please share your thoughts with the rest.
