A lot of squandered potential here. This show really needed a longer runtime to flesh out its story and fill in the many gaps left after its finish. It's oft reviled and for good reason, but it's still an interesting watch that won't take up much of your time. Oh, and make sure you're cool with some potentially disturbing imagery before you start.

Shock schlock shorts. This is a series of eatsy teensie bites of the macabre. Gruesome taboo is the main dish of the day with side helpings of bro-con, sis-con, sadism, masochism, canibalism incest and insect metamporphis smothering a (thin but actual) plot line.
Like a lot of horror genre works, it leaves many unresolved dead ends.
In keeping with the self parody nature of this series, all the above puns intended.
If you're easily squicked, don't watch. You've been warned.

Seen yesterday BD uncensored version.
It sure is a little bit strange and much isn't said (it's just too short) but I liked it and hope there will be a full TV version with 25min eps. It sure has potential for that.
Ratings are waaaay to low. Probably because of the heavy censoring. I just checked TV censored version and there are a lot of shadows to cover the gore + blood is almost black. BD version was very enjoyable in comparison to TV censored version.
My vote: 7.0

This is... well... quite weird! It has some potential, due to the fact that it catch me till the end, also if talking about "ending" is quite hard, due to lack of plot and answers! So, if you're into "macabre" you can give it a try, but don't expect a masterpiece! :)

Someone said it previously, but this one is very hard to watch the TV version of. The censorship is very strange in this one; in that they will show naked breasts, and they will show dismembered/disemboweled corpses, but they don't show the action of it happening, and they will sometimes censor just weapons.
This had potential, but it was much too short, and there was much too little explained. There was no real ending, so it leaves an unsatisfying taste. All that said, it will take you less than an hour to watch, so might as well check it out if you are into the gore type anime.

Bangs are usually cut fairly straight - at or above the eyebrows, but can also be curled, ragged/ruffled, spiked up with hair gel, mousse or wax, swept aside, or cut longer to fall over the eyes., hair clipA small metal or plastic clip used to keep the hair in a certain style, or sometimes just for style., regenerationRegeneration is a supernatural ability to repair great extents of damage incurred as a result of, for example, combat or accidents, and generally to do so fairly quickly. This may include, for example, the replacement of destroyed limbs and organs in a matter of minutes or less. It is not to be confused with the slow, limited, natural damage repair ability that most living organisms have, which does not provide for replacement of limbs and organs, quick or otherwise., scarsA scar is an area of fibrous tissue that replaces normal skin after an injury. Scars are result of the biological process of wound repair in the skin and scarring is a natural part of the healing process., short hairShort hair is hair from (but not including) bald, up to (but not including) shoulder-length hair. This hair length is what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length., sister complexExcessive love for one`s sister(s), often past the point of ordinary brother-sister/sister-sister relation. Often used as a tease/insult for a person who`s overly protective of his/her sister, and is shortened as sis con or sis-con., studentA student or pupil is a learner, or someone who attends an educational institution. The may be understood to mean only those enrolled in some sort of educational institution, but, in its widest use, it applies to anyone who is learning, including mid-career adults who are taking vocational education or returning to university, or younger researchers or artists learning from a more experienced colleague and mentor.

Often used as a tease/insult for a person who`s overly protective of his/her brother, and is shortened as bro con or bro-con., cannibalA cannibal is somebody who eats their own species` flesh., childA child is any person 3 to 12 years old. In everyday usage, babies (younger than 3 years old) are also children, but they are tagged separately; they should not be tagged child as well. Once a person becomes 13, they are an adolescent instead., hair bangsHair bangs are a shaped cutting of the front part of the hair so it lies over the forehead. Bangs are usually cut fairly straight - at or above the eyebrows, but can also be curled, ragged/ruffled, spiked up with hair gel, mousse or wax, swept aside, or cut longer to fall over the eyes., hair clipA small metal or plastic clip used to keep the hair in a certain style, or sometimes just for style., kneehighsKnee highs are a hosiery piece that covers the feet and rise up to, but not including, the knee, or slightly thereunder; they leave the knee exposed. Typically worn by women in western and other societies, they are sometimes worn with modern semi-formal dress. Hosiery that partly cover the knees, or fully cover and extend above the knees, are thighhighs / stockings., sweater vestA sweater vest is an item of knitwear that is similar to a sweater, but without sleeves. It is a popular misconception that a sleeveless sweater and a tank top are the same. This error arose from the differences in American and British clothing terminology.
A sweater vest is often part of a school uniform., traumaCharacter with emotional or psychological injury, caused by single or multiple events/experiences in the past.

Ethnically speaking, a reasonable real life metric for fair skin is the skin colour of people normally said to be "white"., high heelsHigh heels are a type of shoe in which the heel, compared to the toe, is significantly higher off of the ground. These shoes make the wearer taller, accentuating the calf muscle and the length of the leg overall. There are many types of high heels, which come in different styles, colours, and materials, and can be found all over the world. They have significant cultural and fashionable meanings attached to them, which have been largely shaped by historical contexts over the past thousand years., pantyhosePantyhose are sheer, close-fitting legwear, covering the body from the waist to the feet., pregnantThis tag should only be added to characters who physically look pregnant, meaning that showing positive pregnancy test results, talking about being pregnant or doctor`s report do not count. If a character gets pregnant, and is shown as such, only later on in the story (typically at the end), then the tag should be marked as spoiler for that character.
Not to be confused with stomach bulge or stomach stretch., sidelocksSidelocks are long locks of hair that come down the side of the face, passing in front of the ears. Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair., very long hairVery long hair is hair from (and including) waist-length hair or longer.

male, black hairThe character has black hair., business suitThe business suit is a traditional Western-style business attire. For men, this usually consists of a jacket, worn over a collared shirt, with a matching pair of trousers and optional waistcoat vest. For women, this would usually be a jacket, worn over a blouse, with a matching skirt (commonly a pencil skirt) or trousers. Not to be confused with a blazer or sport coat., glassesGlasses (also called eyeglasses or spectacles) are frames bearing lenses worn in front of the eyes, normally for vision correction, eye protection, or for protection from UV rays. For practical tagging purposes, sunglasses should not be considered glasses; the "glasses" tag is specifically about the type that doesn`t block light. However, a character who wears prescription glasses with dark lenses or who wears both eyewear types should take both tags., sadistA sadist obtains pleasure, sometimes sexual, from inflicting pain and/or other cruelty on another person. The opposite of a sadist is a masochist., short hairShort hair is hair from (but not including) bald, up to (but not including) shoulder-length hair.
