Shigurui: Death Frenzy

I'm left a little disappointed after that ending. Don't get me wrong, it was super satisfying in its usual fashion of "show, don't tell". I kind of saw it coming but it wouldn't have hurt to have one more episode! That does lower the score a bit because the story is incomplete. Nevertheless, watching this was a great experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to end. It is definitely unique in that regard. The soundtrack, pacing, visuals, fights, characters, facial expressions - all crazy and exceptional.

Oh wow, Seigen made an appearance after so long. That was totally unexpected. And the whole segment with Shizuhata? Seriously unlucky right there for the contender. This episode was even slower than the other one but it's even more teasing than before! Just keeps on edging with every encounter. Maybe too much teasing in this one but the end was worth it.

Despair overload - is what I would describe this episode. Literally everything is falling apart and there is still no solution to this. However, it does look like it's building up pretty quickly already (should pretty much just come back to the first episode). I don't mind some entertainment before the real deal.

This time it wasn't super action packed or filled with intense moments. It was slow paced, silent and a display of horror. But that's what makes it good when there is a threat looming around the corner. It was only supposed to be a simple hunt but now it's coming back to bite them in the ass. I don't even know how they're going to handle this because the suspect isn't exactly easy to deal with!
