- Pxtl 5y agoLarge amounts of gratuitous lolicon. The story is about girls who are born with a mutation that causes telekinetic powers and sociopathic impulses, and the shadowy organization trying to contain and control them... and a teenaged orphan boy who has multiple stay at his house, including one prolific serial killer recovering from a massive concussion, as an ultra-dark subversion of the harem anime template. The premise is ruined by a grotesque amount of lolicon.
- v-erne 5y agoFair enough - I have tendency to ignore lolicon in anime (unfortunatelly it comes with the turf) so I dont remeber it beiing so off-putting. But I have some vague memory that the violece and gore was quite creative and that there was some intresting contrast created between it and any expectations viewer may have towards normal anime with this kind of premise.
