My point was just that violence in itself isn't particularly interesting in anime, you need more to it. Higurashi has violence mixed with people going crazy, Elfen Lied is torture porn,
Higurashi does nothing for me, and it's people going crazy and violent each time loop is just one big meme everyone reposted. Most people don't actually watch the show nowadays aside from old otaku.
Elfen Lied is boring torture pornI do not enjoy and I hate everything it stands for. Especially the Manga version.
Hellsing at least has more going on for it than the violence and Alucard. Of course I'm more so referring to the manga and the second anime adaption that's more accurate.
To try and sum up my view, this anime doesn't stand out enough. The market has plenty of stories similar to it while bringing more to the table.
I get what you mean, but we'll just have to see what happens. I'd still take it over to the anime you just mentioned. Because even ultraviolent anime from the 80s or 90s lose their place in history and luster at some point. Most of them do, and I'm not a fan of a lot of them either. No different from the ones in the 2000s. Like I said, we'll wait and see. I'm not standing in line so watch it immediately, but if it's good or decent, then I'll give it a shot. But yes, I would prefer an adaption of the original series that are more tongue and cheek.
