Gannibal

A Japanese series based on a manga that does well. Seeing as international,for the world to see Not addicted to overacting to be annoying. The plot of a man-eating village may not seem new. But the story goes deep down, there are reasons to support various actions. Of every character well Including the cause of cannibalism that has been described in reference to history, science, biology, to accompany some parts for us to believe accordingly. And secretly addicted to the supernatural as well, and the protagonist of the story, who is a policeman with a mental disorder, comes to investigate strange cases recklessly. The more the story has a boiling scene in every episode. There is a big action scene for the audience to see. But all the scary scenes may not be too harsh or brutal because this story was only made out with a rating of 15+. The story ends at 7 episodes of the first season and is still long overdue according to the original manga. But it's likely to continue until the end. Anyone who likes a series of weird and thrilling flavors Especially from Japan after There are not many outstanding things to see, this event must not be missed.

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.

What a wonderful series!

Stumbled upon this series just by luck and boy was I impressed!

1. Story has just the right pace. There is enough buildup for the main story but something or other keeps happening so we feel involved all the time.

2. It's very Beautifully shot. Camera work is exceptional. Specially in episode 3. The director and the cameraman have done exceptional work.

3. All the characters are developed reasonably well. The lead is just perfect for this role. And his personality is built in a very believable manner. No one acts cringy or cliché.

4. The myths or urban legend around which the story is revolving is also dealt in a different way. Not like typical Hollywood series.

I would totally recommend this.

In the 5 episodes that I've seen I can't find a fault.

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.

Beginning with a wonderfully executed opening scene of a police officer in hysteria, the show captures you with a sense of morbid intrigue and somehow just builds upon itself with each new episode. However, this isn't a fast paced show that throws high speed curve balls at you to catch you off guard. Instead, it works at a pace that more reflects the perfect stillness of its isolated forest setting, with a slow moving sinister undertone beneath its canopy. You follow the trail of a new, young, and impetuous police officer who's transferred with his wife and daughter to a small town precinct as its only law enforcing officer. While presiding over the unassuming sleepy territory, he never quite settles down as he attempts to uncover the disappearance of his predecessor (the very same hysterical officer from the opening scene). The detective mystery unravels one layer at a time but not so quickly that the viewer quite figures out what's happening too soon. The end of each episode creates a brooding desire to guess what will happen in each new following episode as the story builds suspense and the towns nefarious secret begins to show its face.

The directing is top notch at times, as in the opening scene. And the cinematography is artful-at times. However, the show isn't perfectly polished and ends up breaking you from its hypnosis at points, usually caused by low budget computer effects, or unbelievable gun play. As an American watching a Japanese show with gun fighting and usage, the gun physics was laughable. A shotgun with no recoil from shooting what appears to be slugs was boggling to me. But you can't blame a culture that doesn't glorify gun violence to pay much attention to that type of detail. Nonetheless, the show tends to stick to its lane of masterful storytelling over pretending to be a fast action shoot em up, thankfully. It's not long after each noticeable deviation before Gannibal entrances you back in with its storyline and gloomy style.

This show is well worth the watch, definitely refreshing despite its dark overtones.
