ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

invisibleunicornninja I don't have a lot to say about this show. The animation is very good. The music is boring. The voice acting is boring. The story, though a bit strange, is boring. The characters are annoying. I will admit I didn't watch the whole thing, but that's cause I got bored.

SaptarshiForYou I usually don't like this sex appealing and depressing animes. But at least in my whole life I, at last came upon a masterpiece anime which used animation beyond everyone's out reach expectation. I have to say it is not an anime to enjoy or for enjoyment(except sexual actions), but if you focus on the story plot and the sequence story telling, You can surely notice it had a really storng, dark, social outcast, Realic plot.So I therefore request the viewers, "Plz don't watch this show if you are here only for entertainment. If it's for learning Love then you can watch through. But please never ever tell this and reamark is as bad. If you don't like it, it's ok everyone has his own perspective but never discourage other viewers, they might like it".and now for this plot to be worth heavy:- 1. You can watch other animes, Romantic and love stories. You may like them as they have journey, struggle and Lovey-dovey scenes, it's really heart warming. But did you have any proof that those kind of romance is really exists in our life.....I think No, they are just our melancholic imagination.2. But this anime the love which prevails is actually totally exists. Same Gender Attraction, Sibling complex, Love failure and revengeful lust, Jealousy is fullfiled the anime. And it is all about realistic social concept of our day to day life...... Yes It exists even in our society3. At last which made this anime worlds no 1, its animation representation. What to say I really lost my words. Everyone know Shakespeare is known for his legendrical use of significant Monochoromic words and explanation. So For this anime, "Scum's Wish" it also has such quite impact overall animation. The dilamic use is spiritual so go and watch it...I recommand itat last but not least It has scientific describtion of love in a social dark manner. Opening and ending songs clearly proves it.Thanks for giving me the chance to review my best dark reality anime , 'Kuzo no Honkai'. If you don't get the real concept then you are not enough mature to watch it. Yes it is not that the anime is not worthy for you, it is that you are not worthy for this anime to catch up. Good Bye. Hope you have a happy day.

Amari-Sali The IntroductionYasuraoka (Hanabi) has known Kanai since she was a child. He was the male figure in her life since her dad wasn't around and her mother was his maternal figure. As neighbors, they grew a close bond but for Yasuraoka, their bond crossed over onto love. Sadly, it seems Kanai's heart may belong to Akane. She is the love interest of Mugi, a boy she used to tutor in middle school and who, like Yasuraoka with Kanai, has found to now be his high school teacher.Having to now try to hide their feelings because it could affect their beloved's job, and deal with seeing them fall for someone else, Mugi and Yasuraoka share a mutual sorrow. So, one day, after spending a lot of time with one another, Yasuraoka makes a move on Mugi. It starts as a joke but develops into a full blown relationship. However, it is more so a relationship to act as love's methadone than because of a real interest in each other. At least, that's the story for now.HighlightsIt Gives you "The Feels"The feeling of being friends, or simply close, to someone who you have feelings for. The type of feelings beyond the physical but you are mentally and emotionally attracted to them, that's hard to deal with. Especially in the situation Yasuraoka and Mugi are in for not only is there a likelihood of rejection, but now the relationship they have has to be secret. They can't have close, almost intimate in a way, relationships with students. For your love to likely be unrequited hurts enough, but now you can't share it on top of that? You can't put it out into words and share it with someone to lessen the weight of it? Imagine that. How can you get over someone that you can't be told the flaws of, told how you could do better or any means which could try to chisel away at a crush?Though you may not have had an exact situation, a crush on a teacher or authority figure, it is easy to relate to the idea of feeling so much for someone who only feels just enough for you to keep you hanging on.It Got Sexual Without Seeming DirtySex in anime often times leans toward being ecchi or just straight hentai. It seems made strictly for male viewers to get tantalized by. Now, I won't say the fondling scene between Mugi and Yasuraoka couldn't be seen that way, but it seems more about intimacy, perhaps even a longing by both parties to touch or be touched, than something done for hard ons.It Isn't All Doom and GloomWhile dealing with a subject matter I'm sure many don't necessarily want to revisit or be reminded that it currently exists in their life, there are comical moments. There are moments when, even if they can't have the ones they really want, there is some solace in Mugi and Yasuraoka having each other. And while they aren't necessarily settling for the other person, but perhaps compromising, there is something peaceful in their relationship. Something that leads you to believe that while love and what you as a person need may not come from the one you want, it doesn't mean you are undeserving. For while there is a pact between the two to not fall in love with one another, it honestly seems they are fooling themselves. Especially Yasuraoka.Low PointsThe Big Bro Thing Is Kind of CreepyIn the beginning, I thought this was about incest. Yasuraoka calling the guy she likes "Big Bro" and it not being made clear, at first, they weren't related was weird enough to make me question watching this. Though, as time went on, and it was made clear they weren't blood relations, it made this easier to watch. However, it doesn't lessen the creepiness of the idea she calls someone her Big Bro and she wants said person to kiss her, touch her intimately, and love her as no one has before.Overall: Positive (Watch It)This is definitely a decent season for anime featuring romance, but this one maybe the cream of the crop. It isn't dealing with a boy meets girls under weird, and sometimes random, situations. It is about two people using each other to feel what someone else isn't likely to give them. Yet, there is an openness about it. Leading you to wonder, if not hope, they may find love in each other and not through the filter of seeing each other as their beloved. Though, only time will tell.

arorashadow_2003 I'll have to let Scum's Wish (Kazu no Honkai) be a good reminder to really examine the premise of a show more closely before watching. The genres were interesting enough to catch my eye in the first place, romantic drama, psychological and so on it sounded like good makings for a more serious romance after watching the more light hearted and bubbly romance shows that I loved such as One Week Friends, Yona of the Dawn and Snow White With the Red Hair so the best I could hope for is something like Destiny of the Shrine Maiden (Kannazuki no Miko) but rather I end with was School Days redux that mysteriously is trending better than School Days.The basic concept of two teenagers forming a pact to quell their loneliness should sound and come as a heart breaking romance or the potential of a feel good story where they find the love with each other, maybe a cautionary tragedy a deconstruction of the Romeo and Juliet plot, or just simply learn to accept and move on from their first loves but the first episode left such a sour taste in my mouth that I only hope for a miserable end to our two little losers who deserve what they get. Hanabi Yasuroka is in love with an older man who is her teacher but curiously refers to him as her older brother despite no relations. I'm convinced they do that to have a incest or sister-brother-complex without having to do that. And you have Mugi Awaya likewise is in love with a teacher that is in love with the man who Hanabi is in love with then we're introduced to Noriko Kamomebata who is in love with Mugi and then to Sane Ebato who is in love with Hanabi, but wait there's more! Turns out the music teacher Akane Minagawa likes to use men! Can this awful love web become more convoluted and ridiculous? Though having no actual romantic ties our two main characters certainly love to get physical enough to have the most casual sex and try to write it off as nothing and love to deny being anything more than cheap friends with benefits. Anime fans laud this show for the "maturity" but casual sex in an anime isn't maturity it's just fan service that goes a little further than the usual bouncing boobs and panty shots.The first episode by itself is a mess in structure jumping between time periods of past and present and the confusing referral of Hanabi's love interest as her brother leads a viewer to believe this may be an incest based anime. In fact I'm convinced that's why is just to give it an incest angle for the incest fetish without having to do incest. The second episode began to narrow its focus but everything keeps jumping around it becomes hard to tell what is ever going on at any given time because of the massive story leaps. But the writing only spirals more and more as the dialogue gets to near Twilight levels of insufferable. It's amazing to also see how much Mugi denies that he and Hanabi have sex even though we get a full scene with her in bed stroking his erection.The animation looks all right, aesthetically it's quite pretty and seems to go for a manga vibe with split screen and paneling. However they have a real tendency to abuse the hidden eyes trope many anime do wherein a characters eyes will disappear either to reflect deep emotion or be scary and intimidating for a moment. Many anime do this from time to time but I can't say I've seen an anime do it so much.The music feels to be the one redemption to this otherwise piece of garbage as were treated to a very nice original score by composer Masaru Yokoyama (of Your Lie in April fame) with some very pleasant to listen to melodies that enrich the atmosphere but it's too bad this isn't atmosphere I want to be in.Scum's Wish I feel is trying to go for a "so uncomfortable" vibe, which can be done well, one only need watch David Fincher films but the cast of deplorable characters added with the sappy, convoluted over the top writing make this show unbearable to sit through.
