Movie Reviews of Requiem from the Darkness
Movie Review: Scary Tales for Adults
Summary: 4 Stars
To understand this anime you have to be an adult. And that's besides the obvious fact of violence issue that is not suited for kids below 18. During 13 episodes of this anime you'd see all kinds of murder plus rape, incest and some serious mental issues of anime characters. However this anime is not without sense. It brings up the eternal question of whether revenge murders and "mercy" murders can be considered crimes or not. The main character is the epitome of goodness as it often happens in Japanese animation. During the episodes he is balancing between accepting revenge murders and denying them.
The animation is interesting to say the least. It is quite dark and only the characters important to the plot are well defined. Many minor characters have weird features or blank faces. They most likely represent the gray mass of average people who can care less of what's happening and will only care about themselves. At first it sort of throws you off, but later you stop noticing it.
Some episodes are better than others, but at least half are blood-chilling. So if you are not easily scared and willing to delve into the darkness of human souls - you most likely will enjoy this anime. You have been warned :)
