Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin
Dropped it, and that was after the twentieth episode out of 26. Actually, it didn't start off very well, but I stopped watching only when I realized that when I started an episode, I ended up looking out the window instead of at the screen, and the pitch-black darkness outside became a more appealing and interesting sight than this anime. What's wrong with it? Almost everything.
It seems like the ideas are close to me; it's an anime about prisoners, what could be better for a Russian person, but no. The underlying theme is completely alien to me personally. The characters range from unlikable to downright repulsive. In the name of tolerance, we are shown a complete circus of freaks: a fat idiot, a dwarf with a disgusting voice, a pathological altruist, etc., and I am supposedly supposed to sympathize with these individuals. No, it doesn't work that way. I don't believe it! To close this topic, I'll say that I actually liked the warden, and his storyline was the only believable one. As a person who, throughout his life, has occasionally (and in the last year, constantly) found himself in situations where he needed to establish order among immature idiots, who are always many and always act against you as a united front, I can understand the full weight of his position and the full truth of his emotions. It's a very thankless task to go against the crowd. I could even imagine that he is actually the protagonist of this anime, but the fact that the title doesn't end with the end of his storyline puts an end to this already fragile theory.
In addition to the unlikable characters, the distortion of the truth of life, and the questionable morality, there is a love for adding disgusting still frames into the video, with or without reason (no, I'm not talking about the drawn inserts with the author's text). The openings and endings are just as cringeworthy, but you can skip them.
I could probably rant a lot more, but since I'm starting to not only get annoyed but also experience physical discomfort from this pent-up anger, I'll give a brief summary: it's not for me, not at all. Maybe it's a matter of mentality; in our country, we have our own criminal culture, which is just as repulsive, but in a different way. I continued watching the first ten episodes for the sake of the entertaining darkness, overcoming my disgust for the language, appearance, and mindset of the characters, but then the darkness began to fade, and the title lost its only merit. Even staring at a wall is more interesting than watching the mundane pseudo-problems of drawn pseudo-people. Overall, it's all bad. Although, there is one more plus – the events develop very dynamically, especially in contrast to "Monster."
3/10
