I.... what the actual hell was this? The cover and the synopsis seemed so promising and I have to say I'm a sucker for shorts like this, but this one just seemed.... like it had no idea what it was doing.
Who was the main cast?
What was the plot?
What was the genre?
What was the POINT?
There is zero answers to any of those questions. I feel like the writer put all these ideas into a blender, threw it against the wall and saw what stuck going "eh, this will work"
This is in no way saying the acting was awful by the way, if anything, the acting by everyone was great. It's not their fault they were handed a shitty story. But I really and honestly do not understand. Right off the bat I was confused and felt like I had missed important information THAT WAS NEVER GIVEN!! There was never a "set" main lead(s), they just kept bringing in new characters with every episode and I felt nothing for the characters. We are given little to no information about any of these characters. It's like the whole thing was scrambled.
I know there are a few episodes that make it loop around like some freaking Pulp Fiction crap but even then you're left going "What the fuck?" I hate not knowing things. Like what was the significance of the book mentioned? Also, why bother bringing up Junji and his manga like it played a huge part, when in reality, it DIDN'T!! Just because one of the characters looked like a Junji character? That's not how that works and I honestly don't see it. He wanted to be all scary so people would leave him alone and even then that makes no sense since he was the terrified one. I get what happened to him, I do. But his story makes no sense to me. And neither does the guy that goes around taking pictures of signs. See, I remember no ones names. None. and that's sad. I barely remember what half of them look like. What was the point of introducing a female to sign boy? What was the point of deep voice guy thinking sign boy was cute, but, "not in that way. The panda was cute"
This show was a mess and now my brain is a mess.
There literally was no plot to this at all. Even with each episode there wasn't a single plot or meaning to them and the ending was just as ridiculous as the whole show. I really had hoped that they would explain SOMETHING. ANYTHING. But nope. It ended like best friends parting ways after knowing each other for years.... meanwhile I'm screaming at the screen "WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!?!" Ugh. Yeah.... I hated this show. Sorry....
