Kiznaiver

Kiznaiver is about love, friendship and loss, based on an experiment of connection to "generate peace" but more so to have a better understanding of their own feelings and others around them, however, this "Kiznaiver" experiment isn't all as good as it seems.

The shows concept is unique, characters are likeable but outside of character interactions they is nothing else noteworthy, they is some "challenges" but they are laughably straightforward and uneventful, the main challenge being solving each others inner struggles.

Despite being character driven, character interactions are also pretty straightforward with it's only saving grace being it's unique concept. Overall I think it's worth watching if you like emotionally driven teen drama with a twist.

Katsuhira Agata lost his sense of physical pain years ago and has lived a quiet and secluded life ever since. His passive nature makes it difficult for him to establish contact with him and his lack of will to defend himself makes him the target of his classmates' attacks. Katsuhira and six other young people are selected as participants in the Kizuna project, in which several people are linked and the pain felt by one of them is felt by all. The Kizuna project aims to lay a foundation for world peace. But first, Katsuhira and the others must prove their effectiveness by opening up to the rest of the group and further developing their own compassion.

"Kiznaiver" is definitely not a masterpiece.

The thing that stuck in my mind the most from the anime was the character design, which I think is very well done.

Each character has a different look.

The basic idea is really interesting, but unfortunately implemented only vaguely.

Nevertheless, the anime was very entertaining.

You can look at it, but you can also let it be.

Love the characters and the unique concept!! I especially love nico-chan <3

A decent 12-episode anime, albeit with no sequel potential, which is a shame. The plot is straightforward and easy to grasp, avoiding unnecessary complexity. The characters are memorable, each with their own distinct personality, and feel genuinely alive, making them relatable. The ending was a definite highlight, providing a perfectly satisfying and conclusive resolution to the storyline, tying up loose ends nicely. On the negative side, the plot can sometimes be slow and uneventful, occasionally stalling and dragging in certain episodes. However, the compelling interactions between the main characters remain engaging and consistently entertaining, making it a worthwhile watch despite the occasional pacing issues. Overall, a solid and enjoyable anime, even with its minor flaws.

This anime is well-done, with a compelling story. A high school boy and several of his classmates join a secret group of people, the Kiznaivers, who wouldn't normally associate with each other. This features two LGBTQ characters, Ruru and Honoka Maki, with Ruru dying while finishing their manga, leading Honoka to have feelings of doom for years to come. I remember this show fondly, although I can't recall as much about it as I can for other shows, so I'd put this at its current rating
