Gannibal

The story is unique but then the pacing of the series makes it dull sometimes. At one point I thought the climax was coming but then the buildup stopped all of a sudden, leaving me with confusion and immense disappointment.

The most unacceptable part is the ending. I thought the entire backstory would be revealed at last, but then the series suddenly ended with half of the truth remain concealed. I guess it was done on purpose to leave it for Season 2? Not sure if I would give it another shot if there is another season though.

Acting of the cast is impeccable though. Yagira Yuya was the reason I watched this series and he never disappoints me. Baisho Mitsuko-san, the actress who played Goto Gin, the grandmother, gave me chills down my spine.

The score serves the series really well in heightening tensions and suspense too.

Overall is fine but I really hate it when a series is not ended properly because some people behind it want to make a sequel.

This series has a lot of things going for it: action, drama, and high suspense in each episode. The location in rustic Japan is gorgeous, the lush landscape in stark juxtaposition to the macabre happenings in the village run by the villainous Goto family. Great cast and acting, especially by our brave hero, Officer Daigo Agawa (Yagira), self-tasked to take them on.

Gannibal is an intense story of madness and evil brought on by depraved fanaticism. There's also something to be said about perverse family loyalties and doggedly holding on to customs that would make anyone cringe in horror. Very much enjoyed and hope a Season 2 will pick up at the very harrowing moment Episode 7 ended with.

Story is unique never seen before, I don't have anything bad to complain, first time writing review, this should be more popular , I don't even know why this show doesn't get promoted as much, lucky few will watch this and recommend it to people, I just hope people reading my review to give it a chance and watch it through, it's not to long or short , 7 episode in total, 40 minutes in total, all actor did a great job, I don't have anything else to say just enjoy the show and leave a review promote this show, Japan doesn't like to promote their own movie/tv show which sucks cuz I really love their movie/ tv series, that's all thanks for reading.

This was absolute cinema, straight up fire from start to finish. One of the best gore crime thrillers i have ever watched. From presentation to execution to direction, everything was top notch. I have seen many gore thrillers but this one was incredibly rich in storytelling, lore and impact right up there with one of my favorite zombie dramas Kingdom.

There were plenty of goosebumps worthy moments. One of my favorites was the episode that narrated Gin Goto's story through flashbacks.

It's a shame that a drama like this doesn't get the attention it truly deserves.. I really hope it reaches a wider audience because it's one that deserves to be seen by more people..

Overall, season 2 takes everything to the next level.. With wild action, powerful performances and a raw intensity.. It has very dark and disturbing elements with bold scenes that only make it more intriguing to watch.

Gannibal is a thrilling and captivating mystery series that sets itself apart from the typical fast-paced police procedural dramas. With a haunting opening scene of a police officer in hysteria, the show immediately draws you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat with each new episode.

The pace of the show is slow, perfectly capturing the stillness of the isolated forest setting and allowing for the mystery to unfold at a deliberate pace. The cinematography is stunning at times and the directing is expertly executed, particularly in the opening scene. However, there are moments when low-budget special effects or unrealistic gunplay briefly break the illusion, but the show quickly gets back on track with its masterful storytelling and gloomy style.

The protagonist, a young and impulsive police officer, is transferred to the small town with his wife and daughter, tasked with uncovering the disappearance of his predecessor. The mystery unravels layer by layer, building suspense and leaving the viewer eagerly anticipating each new episode.

Overall, Gannibal is a refreshing and well-crafted show that offers a unique take on the detective genre. Its dark overtones, slow-paced suspenseful story, and stunning visuals make for a truly mesmerizing experience.
