Sacuriku no tenši

This was a strange psychological anime series that had a promising and mysterious beginning. However, it turned out to be very ambiguous, and the show had a lot of allusions without really saying anything. I guess what the show’s creators really meant to convey and how it actually ended is perhaps going to be the subject of much speculation for a long time to come. Like in the final scenes: what was meant to be a reality, and what was just in the girl's imagination? There was a bit of allegory, there was a bit of philosophy, and a lot of food for thought for the audience. However, did it all affect me deeply in some way that I in any way found the narrative absorbing and so gripping I could not sleep? Well at times it did have a very pleasant atmosphere (sometimes the soundtrack was excellent), and I was quite taken with the central two protagonists, and sometimes I even thought for a moment that they would... Perhaps this is a brilliant production that I just did not appreciate, and perhaps this is just pseudo-philosophical psycho-babble that is really pretentious. Well, I for one am not really sure at all, so I am awarding it 6/10. (29.10.2018)
