Gleipnir

Worst anime series i ever watched..idiot main character..to weak to call it a monster..maybe a puppet!

It's rare I don't finish a show. However, Gleipnir isn't worth my time. I watched the first 6 episodes and I'm convinced half the screen time is spent on close ups of muscles and tendons on the female characters.

The plot is practically non-existent. Someone came up with what they thought was a good idea and somehow got paid before fleshing it out in the slightest.

The voice acting is over the top. Moreso than most anime. The characters are tropes with no personality or growth. The soundtrack wasn't bad but that doesn't make it watchable.

All in all, it's sub-par. It may appeal to some if other reviews are anything to go by but I'd suggest only watching the first 2 episodes before making up your mind. It really doesn't change after that. There's no "pay-off" moment that makes the slog worth it.

I had high hopes, even when almost finished with this show. I really hoped it would come through and surprise me with a meaningful ending, or even a good pausing point hoping for another season. In reality, I was severely disappointed. The body horror and pain porn moments don't earn anything worthwhile in terms of plot or character development. Rather, grief is used to add pretend stakes that don't feel real.

Quite disappointed.

The anime is really good. It has some dark theme and it gets interesting very fast. I like their creativity and the way that tells the story. 100% you need to read the manga to understand the story better but you can enjoy it even if you don't want to read the manga. It's a strange and sexual anime and that's why I like it and my girlfriend also found it interesting.

The entire show is middle of the road at best, the art is beautiful though. Also a scene in the 6th episode made me almost drop it all together.
