Another (2012) Raka (5/5) https://i.makeagif.com/media/4-21-2016/bnwqjt.gif Another is a horror anime about a guy unraveling the mystery of a death that occurred in the school years ago. Anime and horror has never really gone too well together, mostly because anime isn't really scary. Though some anime can do a pretty good job at being unnerving, that isn't really present either. I already have trouble with horror stories, since I don't believe in things like spirits or demons. I just don't find many things to be scary anymore. It's why I opt for more psychological horrors, that deconstruct the psyche of their protagonists. Fear of the unknown will always get to me more than a clear spiritual, demonic, or human presence. Another plays out like a Final Destination flick in a way, where the students slowly get picked off one-by-one until the finale where they just start dying in droves. The biggest issue, for me, is that the death scenes are almost always.... comical. The very first death involves a girl tripping down the stairs and impaling herself on an umbrella, with the amount of blood spilling that you'd expect from one of those 80s B-movie body horror films. Then there's one where a guy just swims right into a motorboat in the ocean because I guess he's a total dumbass. Then there's the infamous gif I used. Really, it's just difficult to take the show seriously, and that kills the atmosphere, and thus kills the entire purpose of a horror show. --- http://i.imgur.com/l7xxLh1.jpg PSN/Steam - RoboQuote ; NNID - TazzyMan ...
