Gannibal

Gannibal is a thrilling and captivating mystery series that sets itself apart from the typical fast-paced police procedural dramas. With a haunting opening scene of a police officer in hysteria, the show immediately draws you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat with each new episode.

The pace of the show is slow, perfectly capturing the stillness of the isolated forest setting and allowing for the mystery to unfold at a deliberate pace. The cinematography is stunning at times and the directing is expertly executed, particularly in the opening scene. However, there are moments when low-budget special effects or unrealistic gunplay briefly break the illusion, but the show quickly gets back on track with its masterful storytelling and gloomy style.

The protagonist, a young and impulsive police officer, is transferred to the small town with his wife and daughter, tasked with uncovering the disappearance of his predecessor. The mystery unravels layer by layer, building suspense and leaving the viewer eagerly anticipating each new episode.

Overall, Gannibal is a refreshing and well-crafted show that offers a unique take on the detective genre. Its dark overtones, slow-paced suspenseful story, and stunning visuals make for a truly mesmerizing experience.

This was absolute cinema, straight up fire from start to finish. One of the best gore crime thrillers i have ever watched. From presentation to execution to direction, everything was top notch. I have seen many gore thrillers but this one was incredibly rich in storytelling, lore and impact right up there with one of my favorite zombie dramas Kingdom.

There were plenty of goosebumps worthy moments. One of my favorites was the episode that narrated Gin Goto's story through flashbacks.

It's a shame that a drama like this doesn't get the attention it truly deserves.. I really hope it reaches a wider audience because it's one that deserves to be seen by more people..

Overall, season 2 takes everything to the next level.. With wild action, powerful performances and a raw intensity.. It has very dark and disturbing elements with bold scenes that only make it more intriguing to watch.

What a wonderful series!

Stumbled upon this series just by luck and boy was I impressed!

1. Story has just the right pace. There is enough buildup for the main story but something or other keeps happening so we feel involved all the time.

2. It's very Beautifully shot. Camera work is exceptional. Specially in episode 3. The director and the cameraman have done exceptional work.

3. All the characters are developed reasonably well. The lead is just perfect for this role. And his personality is built in a very believable manner. No one acts cringy or cliché.

4. The myths or urban legend around which the story is revolving is also dealt in a different way. Not like typical Hollywood series.

I would totally recommend this.

In the 5 episodes that I've seen I can't find a fault.

This series has a lot of things going for it: action, drama, and high suspense in each episode. The location in rustic Japan is gorgeous, the lush landscape in stark juxtaposition to the macabre happenings in the village run by the villainous Goto family. Great cast and acting, especially by our brave hero, Officer Daigo Agawa (Yagira), self-tasked to take them on.

Gannibal is an intense story of madness and evil brought on by depraved fanaticism. There's also something to be said about perverse family loyalties and doggedly holding on to customs that would make anyone cringe in horror. Very much enjoyed and hope a Season 2 will pick up at the very harrowing moment Episode 7 ended with.

I cannot praise this show enough. Its honestly perfection. One of the best series I have ever watched and I never want it to end. I hope it gets the ratings, viewership and accolades that it more than deserves because it the best hidden gem out there and is truly flawless. I need more!

The acting, the storyline, the characters, the pacing all immaculate. I have been craving a show like this for so long and finally stumbled upon it. Please make more seasons!

If you havent watched it yet then I'm not sure what you're waiting for! Its drama, its suspense, its thriller, its horro, action and deep. Best show hands down. Better than the last of us, even.
