Kiznaiver

A decent 12-episode anime, albeit with no sequel potential, which is a shame. The plot is straightforward and easy to grasp, avoiding unnecessary complexity. The characters are memorable, each with their own distinct personality, and feel genuinely alive, making them relatable. The ending was a definite highlight, providing a perfectly satisfying and conclusive resolution to the storyline, tying up loose ends nicely. On the negative side, the plot can sometimes be slow and uneventful, occasionally stalling and dragging in certain episodes. However, the compelling interactions between the main characters remain engaging and consistently entertaining, making it a worthwhile watch despite the occasional pacing issues. Overall, a solid and enjoyable anime, even with its minor flaws.

Love the characters and the unique concept!! I especially love nico-chan <3

Kiznaiver is an emotional whirlwind that will leave you breathless. I'm talking tears, laughter, and existential crises - the whole enchilada. This anime is a thought-provoking, masterfully crafted experience that will stay with you long after the credits roll. With its vibrant animation, complex characters, and poignant storytelling, Kiznaiver is a must-watch. The characters' struggles and relationships are deeply relatable, making it easy to become invested in their journeys. Don't miss out on this hidden gem! It's a wild ride that will challenge your perspectives and leave you feeling hopeful.

Kiznaiver is about love, friendship and loss, based on an experiment of connection to "generate peace" but more so to have a better understanding of their own feelings and others around them, however, this "Kiznaiver" experiment isn't all as good as it seems.

The shows concept is unique, characters are likeable but outside of character interactions they is nothing else noteworthy, they is some "challenges" but they are laughably straightforward and uneventful, the main challenge being solving each others inner struggles.

Despite being character driven, character interactions are also pretty straightforward with it's only saving grace being it's unique concept. Overall I think it's worth watching if you like emotionally driven teen drama with a twist.

Before the end of the first episode the beauty of the animation, eclectic characters and unusual storytelling had sunk hooks in and wouldn't let go.

It's an interesting anime that proves tropes exist for a reason, beauty can exist within horror and pain... Even the insanity of the first few episodes served a purpose, and had mad science I can realistically see happening.

For all the things to got "right" it's still imperfect and at times very cliched (they are there for a reason), but it was satisfying to see another example of great anime.

Note: Those who don't enjoy story driven, character growth based stories will likely hate this.

Pro's:

• Great intro and soundtrack.
• Character Archetypes fit in the narrative.
• Quality storytelling.
• No filler episodes.
• Predictability that serves a purpose.
• Full story arc.

Con's:

• First few episodes have an almost distracting amount of chaos in them, and can turn people off.
• Predictable, it's important for the story but would loved a surprise or two.
