mdehnersDON'T!!!!!!! Well, if you've been watching Anime since childhood and as an adult you've been a fan of the stuff not mainstreamed to the US market.....maybe. For everyone else NO! Even I found it DISTURBING, and I like Zombie flicks!
Sometimes, folks forget that Westernized cultures still AREN'T Western and see things very differently. I'm pretty travelled(physically and sexually)but I remember my reaction to a "slice of life" anime simply because of the style. Imagine 'Sex in the City'. Now, imagine every episode,action and line done by 6 yr old actors. Creepy, no?
Now back to 'P'. Well written, decent art and characters. However, this anime is about a horrible disease that Mutates those it doesn't kill. The main characters are a pair of infected siblings. The boy's mutation SEEMS benevolent. He rapidly regenerates physical damage. The sister, however's horrendous. When hungry, she turns into a monster with craving human flesh, the younger the better. So to keep his sweet sister from eating the neighbor kids when she gets hungry she literally eats HIM. Lot's of emotional turmoil about good folks in a horrible situation needless to say and if you like characters wallowing on their pity pots instead of doing something(even if it's Suicide), you might like this one. I'm not.
I try not to be judgemental(that's not true;>) but if you enjoy this one,Cthulu is definitely your Lord and Savior(or maybe the Orange One)….
Cheers,
Pat
