Pupa

Sorry for any errors in advance;

Like the summary says the only really good thing about this series in my opinion are the opening ("pupa" by Ibuki Kido & Erii Yamazaki) and the ending ("Dare yori Suki na no ni (誰より好きなのに)" by Kusuma San Shimai (Yurika Kurosawa, Minato Wakasa, Haruna Usui)) besides there are not many strong points.

Now onto some of the parts that where trully bad. One of the first thing i noticed is that the censoring (for gore and nudtiy) is inconsistent. sometimes they censored a blood splash oly to not do it a minute later. animation gets reused and some scenes are just not worth it as they are badly animated. the story is inconsistent and constantly hops to another point in time or another vieuwpoint without any warning.

For charaters this short series does only have 3 characters that could be named important to the already weird story. There is the older brother Utsutsu Hasegawa, in my opinion a character that could not choose if he wants to be edgy or cute. He has this scar going trough his right eye aparently from his father but he also wears a hair pin at the same side, these two details dont really fit togheter in my opinion. behavior wise he is the typical main character and older brother, he ould do anything for his sis.
Yume Hasegawa is the younger sister and the monster of this story. i was surprised how she clearly has more time put into her screentime especialy her teeth. Her monster appearence is not the cgi dragon we know deen for but its also not great. It stands out in the few scenes it appeares in but not in a good way. as for her behavior she clearly is shown to have some mental isues displayed by the teddy bear moments.
Ai Imari, straight up the most fleshed out character. She is the woman dressed in all black and kinda looks like lady dumitrescu if she had a white gown and did not have the wounds on half her body. She sees everything as a test subject wich causes the brother to become a food source for the younger sis. Somehow she was better worked out, and had more backstory then the two main characters.

from here on forward the revieuw will be spoiler heavy consider this a headsup as ill shortly talk about some weird items in the story it can be a bit unorganized tho sorry in advance.
the first episode starts in the clasroom and weirdly enough the older broher alredy has wounds on his arm the same he gets on his outer arm in one of the last episodes. the sister waits for him but they decide to come togheter in the nearby park. on the way there the girl meets the sientists who warns her not to touch red butterflies. But like many shows the young girl gets facinated with the red butterflies and, im not sure but she ends up eaten by a dog monster? somehow the girl ends up laying in the middle of the park only the brother finding her before there suddenly are other people. but not for long as the girl turns into a monster for the only moment in all 12 episodes and starts eating all people but not hte brother? a moment later the sientist turns back up, and she "wil take care of the people", after some ecouraging words the brother goes to meet his monster sis and ends up eaten... but wow he suddenly has beaten up a whole research team and he got regeneration powers stronger then deadpool. a whole episode was spend talking about daddy issues and hey canibalism right after. the mother pops up for an episodes only to change the lore about the monster. there is a certain episode, not sure wich one xactly, that mainly consist on feeding on the bed and well to summarise it its mainly "onee-san crunch crunch".mp3 besides some lines by the brother there is not uch else said and the animation gets reused the most in this episode. Remember the scientis? well she gots sperm cells from the guy and and egg cells from the girl and impregnated herself with it. she is seen pregnant, in one of the few naked scenes, but we never learn of what happens after. the two main chaacters get kidnapped by a guy with a knife, apparently super healing and a monster can be defeated by a switchblade! after this its more implied gore this time no eating but the knife play by the guy wth a switchblade. How to make an iligeal healt organisatio, or something like that, evil? well make them abuse the boy with the healing, fans of using chainsaws and illegal organ harvesters. suddenly the girl can transform and beat up all these trained soldier this evil organisation suddenly has. and brother beats up the whole room again. they meet up and its eating again. but wait what is this there is one more epiode, another eathing epsiode? No its a weirdly wholesome epsiode of the brother trying to win a teddybear for his sister but instead he wins the hairpin the sister has been wearing all this time. also we suddenly see the return of the best friend character.

to finsih this revieuw and put this all togheter in a small paragrapf. Even if you are big fan of gorey anime and you just want to watch a quick anime dont watch it, besides the music and the weirdly wholesome ending you get what you expect a deen studios animation about a girl eating her brother.
