"La prochaine fois, je te tue." (Pas une critique!)

Coffret collector Déclic-Images. *

Of course it is far less than the original manga: pretty but not beautiful, introducing every character but lacking time for each of them (despite their simplicity)... But it is good in its own right and stands as a good alternative for every newcomer who won't start the manga because it has no end (and never will).
Kawajiri does its best to focus on the preordained nature of the story (starting with an effective OAV, that also does a good job as a trailer for the series). sometimes damaging the original scenario with a bit too much hints (creating logic problems in a series that didn't need more of them). And he delivers, of course, a good direction and decent visuals for an early 2000 TV show (good close-ups with some odd mid-range pictures), this dark period where the transition toward digital animation made many series look rather bad.

Some will also complain that the TV series doesn't tell much for an adaptation coming so late in the manga's (after)life. It is certainly true but the discard of many complications allows for a useful slower pace in a full-length series aiming to be a brooding journey of human sacrifices dealing with the coming end of time.

Score: 8/10
Plaisir: 5/5

I still wish it had more about Subaru and Seishirô...
