Episode 8:
i'm somewhat dissappointed with 08 of this series
so far i liked the series for the amount of gore, violence, nudity and unrealism. All those things were exagerated enough to remind viewers that this is anime and not real life.
Now in ep 08 the creators for unknown reason decided to make few kids in order to get at one another kill a puppy. Bulying something that can't defend itself or even killing it isn't something extraordinary. So i'm wondering why?
For the sake of comparison, Narutaru, another series which are full of gore maintained things exagerated enough to be shocking throughout and on cartoonish level.
Killing animals something isn't extraordinary, rather it's quite realistic and even happened to my pet rabbit (though it was found already dead, though without fractures and I have no clue who did it). I'm pretty sure,though not on a regular bases, this form of abuse is present all around the world. I've heard similar stories from adults in Russia, experienced myself in US. So all I'm asking why bring an element of real live into an exagerated and highly unrealistic series?
