Kiznaiver

The animation story was very interesting, Sometimes very funny and sometimes so sadly, but it great anime and I'm fantastic when i watched him

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.

.....to become something beyond my expectations!!!!!

At first, it seemed extremely eccentric in it's core idea storyline. However, as the story progresses, not only does it make more sense to me, but it also transforms into something more than the usual fan-service, moe characters, & cliche morals.

Now, for those who want anime that transcends outside their box of expectations, don't be afraid to give this a watch!

From the trippy intro cutscene (with equally mesmerizing music to back that up) to the deeper meanings of human connection, a variety of a cast, fresh [&] vibrant animation, and the little things that wrap all of this together into KIZNAIVER; you've got yourself a must-watch for your list!!!

However, I did say that this story "made more sense to ME"; Meaning that I understand that KIZNAIVER May not apply to everyone. So, if you want to stick to those show with cliche storylines, moe characters, and annoying fan-service, you can stay in your box for all I care; Besides, I'm just speaking my mind here.

But, let's not forget the idea that regardless of the difference of our tastes, our backgrounds, our minds, and our hearts: "We are ALL connected through OUR wounds" -kizNAiver.

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