Extremely dark, but beautiful
Why is it that anime always sounds so much worse than it really is? You may think you’ve seen it a hundred times before: a group of teenagers being stalked by a murderous supernatural entity. But believe me, you haven’t.
‘Boogiepop Phantom’ tells the story of the most ordinary group of high-school students whose lives are all changed by a series of grisly murders (the suspect is Boogiepop, a modern Angel of Death) and a mysterious light appearing in the sky. That is all I can say without giving away too much. The plot twists and turns fiendishly, constantly challenging the viewer’s brain. Perhaps that is the series’ downfall: it is at times very confusing, and the non-linear narrative takes some getting used to. I have heard of a live-action prequel, but I am not the only one who cannot even dream of finding something like that in their country. However, those who do not mind giving what they’re seeing some thought won’t have too much trouble.
