Lord of Vermilion: Guren no ó

Why do I feel the same way about this show as I did about Caligula last season? Something about this is boring! It has a theme and some sort of concept too, plus at least one character has a big secret. However, when I try to watch it my mind starts wandering off somewhere else. When I really tried to focus and take it in, I noticed that the soundtrack is pretty decent. Perhaps it is all their own fault for how they beat the crap out of me with how it is all going to end at the beginning, throwing in a bunch of characters I knew nothing about and a bunch of fight scenes dominated by the color red, characters wearing some weird colored thing (like in Caligula), and fight scenes lacking dynamics, making them boring to watch (like in Caligula, only they are levitating)... I could go on to list all the things I think are its shortcomings here (including the characters, the atmosphere, the romantic element, the fight scenes, etc...) however, I am going to limit myself to saying that is pretty much it really. Plus I am so bored, and not in the mood because of this heat... Dropped after the fourth episode, so goodbye and good riddance... 3/10. (06.08.2018)
