Yeah, you're going to be seeing a lot of these, sorry. Hopefully you'll be able to relate to one or two of them.

Fuck you, Japan. You made this show. [[link] See this cute opening? It's a damn lie. This series is evil and the manga is WORSE. Don't believe me? Read the comments, or look it up on TV Tropes. It looks adorable, and starts out fairly benign, but then descends into madness, gore and rape. IT TRICKS YOU BY LOOKING CUTE. I don't even want to go into what happens specifically. This is the perfect example of what my friend Gravidtron (who I don't know how to link to incidentally) calls an "Anime Backstab" where something starts out fun and then gets nasty. This one gets SO nasty you could well call it more of a back-impalement rather than just a stab.

I can enjoy the dark, weird, moody stuff too sometimes, but some other times I just want something fun and cute and comprehensible. There's plenty of stuff like that, too, of course, and to be fair this one is a pretty clever idea for a subversion of the collectible monster genre. Still, I don't really want to watch stuff like this, the world is a shitty enough place as it is without seeing 12 year old girls getting raped with test tubes.
Ugh. I wish this series had a physical form so I could hit it with an object. Knock that shit off Japan, or I'm coming over there.
