Genocyber
>20/10/2024
This month I had fixed myself the goal of watching horror animes! After my run of Soultaker, I was a bit disapointed, even if the anime is pretty good with it's fantastic artistic direction and a dreamlike storytelling, because the last two episodes were rushed and the story kinda fell flat for me. But the thing that trully left me unsatisfied was that it's not really a horror anime.
That's why I turned to OVA's, cause there wasn't a lot of horror anime series which made me curious.
And so I chosed Genocyber to start things, I watched the five episodes in the course of three days (I'm a bit slow with animes).
The story is divided in three parts :
-The first episode (45m) which is about the backstory of the main character
-The seconde and third episodes (20m each) which are taking place behind closed door on a frigate.
-And finally the last two episodes (30m each) which are about a totalitarian city who's under an escalation of violence.
I really liked each part of the anime! They are really distinct, maybe too much for some people, but I enjoyed this style of narration, it felt like someone showing you a nightmare they had.
I'll remember the designs of the creatures and the eerie atmosphere of the town in the last two episodes.
The boat part felt a bit weaker to me, but behind closed door stories always work on me.
It's an anime I will forgot the details quickly, but I'll keep with me the weird overall plot and I feel like I'll rewatch it soon!
