"Story":
The part that is meant to display the "plot" has a lenght of 11 (Episode 12 feels more like an OVA) episodes each 3 minutes long (4 minutes minus 1 minute Opening and Ending). As mentioned earlier there is nothing that ever really happens. We get thrown into a world, which appears to be haunted by a virus transforming people into manhunting monsters. One of said monsters is the female main character. Her older brother, the protagonist (?) happens to have the same regenerative abilities, but isn't a monster himself.
There also seems to be some kind of special force dealing with the plague, yet we basically only see them abducting our..."protagonists".
Characters:
Stitching right onton the end of the story section, you cannot really call them lead-characters because they are dragged through the series like a toy. Maybe this is what they try to symbolise with the teddybear parts. Their shared drive to action.
There isnt much to say about them either, other than they got abused when they were younger, partly because Yume, the little sister, was already born a monster.
They love each other very, very much. To a degree, which feels...she might not only lick his body because she is a cannibal.
None of the side characters are even explored in the slightest, they just appear, torture the siblings a bit and then disintegrate into thin air again.
"Poof!" - similar to my motivation to endure this after 3 episodes.
Did I mention the siblings really like each other?
Visuals:
It looks rather...special. At some times I wasn't entirely sure if it was the artstyle they were aiming for or if it was just plainly bad. Disregarding the general look, which had a vibe to it, resembling kindergarteners using finger-paint, this show featured the worst blood I ever had to witness. The colour looks like strawberry jam and the texture...I don't even know.
Also, every time one of the monsters came into view, everything aroung them went dark and the shade turned obscure. I am pretty sure they just didnt want to think about the colour schemes all to much and hoped nobody would care.
What trigered me most about the visual apects was the censoring. Every time a precarious scene was shown they threw a dice whether to censor it or not.
Some random dude, which also abducted the siblings flashes a knife as you can clearly hear. Flash is fitting in more sense than one because you only see a ray of light. Yet the next time they decided to draw it. The time after it - the ray of light again. Maybe someone is trying to send a hidden message through those incredibly random direction choices.
In short: It looks just as bad as it is written.
Audio:
The music choices might as well have been made by a 2nd grader, ripping off Paranormal Activity.
The sound effects feel...clunky. I liked the one they played when the episode title appeared and vanished, because it made me wanna tear off my toenails and I think and hope that was on purpose.
When Yume is consuming her brother, it sounds like someone was scraping polystyrene with his finger nails.
I think the voice acting was pretty okay, and standing out in comparison to the otherwise gruesome production.
Conclusion:
I like myself a bad anime every now and then. The funny bad, at least. This wasnt the funny bad.
It was entertaining in a weird way. You can always stay tuned how hard they screw up in the next couple minutes.
Contrary to popular opinion I think, just because you tried your best doesn't mean the result is good.
Considering you only have to invest about half an hour I would still recommend watching it, just to learn, how not to write an anime, or media in general.
