Canibal

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.

I cannot praise this show enough. Its honestly perfection. One of the best series I have ever watched and I never want it to end. I hope it gets the ratings, viewership and accolades that it more than deserves because it the best hidden gem out there and is truly flawless. I need more!

The acting, the storyline, the characters, the pacing all immaculate. I have been craving a show like this for so long and finally stumbled upon it. Please make more seasons!

If you havent watched it yet then I'm not sure what you're waiting for! Its drama, its suspense, its thriller, its horro, action and deep. Best show hands down. Better than the last of us, even.

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.

The plot has a familiar theme we've seen in the Hollywood movies and TV shows for a long time, but it's very well integrated into a aging rural society in japan which is the highest selling point here. I've seen a video from a japanese youtuber showing his experience of moving to a remote town in japan. At first those outsiders were welcomed, but soon after they found out that they had to follow so many of town's own rules, and they were being monitored. If they broke one of the rules, somebody in town would correct them. They couldn't bear those things any more, and eventually moved out of the town after living for a couple of years. This is a real thing happened and happening right now. So it's very interesting to see this show after hearing about what's really happening in japan. I've seen a fair share of Jdramas, and never seen a Jdrama like this. It's very unusual Jdrama and a great one at that. The only downside - though it's critical - is SFX. The CGI is really bad. It's below average especially with animals. It's probably related to budget, but still I can't understand why they adapted such a disappointing quality of CGI which distracts a lot from viewing experience. Other than that, being thirst for a new episode every week.
