This OVA is good if you're into a more grotesque form of entertainment. It also helps if you already knew about Junji Itou's Gyo in the first place. Personally, I would suggest it if you like disturbing/grotesque horror. If not, I would definitely not suggest watching this OVA.

Yeah, this movie was completely out in left field, and that is coming from an anime watcher since the 90's. What bothers me is that the production value was obviously tenuous to try to make this concept work. Some high paying anime producer lost a bet and was forced to push this movie out...at least they threw a threesome in...[and suddenly the download number for this movie skyrockets lol].

Well, I will try to do a precis my personal impression, which is allmost the same like the ppl b4 me, told you.
I am really sorry, that I havent read the reviews before and my punishment for this, will be disgusting and gross pictures in my head, which will torture me untill I die one day. =.=°
So, I hope for you guys, that you will read everything before downloading. I was frustrated, because all my dear animes are completed or have broken up and so I was searching for some new stuff.
Well, ... even if the story sounds kind of interesting, ( read more)

Well, ... even if the story sounds kind of interesting, I realized its lame from the beginning till the end. Even Highschool of death wasn't so disgusting with all the zombies creeping everybody out. And you hear enough about the characters to know them.
But here it's a disaster.
Computeranimated and of high quality is no excuse for SUCH DISGUSTING/GROSS/ABHORREND UGLY and deformed shit in the truest sense of the word!
And I don't thing, that it makes any scenes, when an immun girl at the end of the film says, that she is used to the smell(?) // STENCH!!!! xO // by now and smiles.
Hallo?! This anime is sick! really sick and even the hentai/ecchi parts in this movie dont pull the movie out of the entirely shit, you get through by watching. This only one peaceful bathroom scene isn't worth to watch the complete movie.
So: Please be warned and DONT make the mistake to ignore the reviews like i did, just to give this THING(?) a try. U would regret it for the rest of your life and I'm NOT JOKING!
If a few of you guys have the same excellent capacity for remembering movies, there will not even Alzheimer help you out.
Well... I go now and play "DOTZ!" to get these fucked up pictures out of my head. ~.~
(DOTZ is a german acronym for "dagegen dotzen" a belittled verb that we use when someones head smash against a realy hard thing: Wall, table, chair, bottle, etc.
So the goal of the game is to hit/smash the own head against a thing of your free choice and to hit the thing harder with every following hit against you head until you have enough. @~@
Wish me the best to get the shit out of my head. >.<||| And thanks for reading.) ( show less)

Overall an unimpressive movie. I didn't find the characters engaging and the plot was, once you got past the whole ~swarm of strange fish monsters~ thing, rather one-dimensional. Not really worth watching unless you sincerely wish to see fish with insect legs and gross gas-powered peoplemonsters.

Judging by the reviews and a wikipedia search, it "smells" like shit. I mean, WTF fish using "walking-machines" to come out of the water and kill humans on land by forcing their dead-nasty fishy smell on them? Who would write this crap mush less watch it? If you dont believe me go check it on wikipedia. Only die-hard anime fans who only watch the latest stuff may watch this just for the sake of crossing it off their "to-watch" list. It gets 4 Negative stars.
If fish is you're favourite food....This anime is NOT for you. I can smell it from here...damn.

Pointless and meaningless storyline plus there wasn't any depth to the characters etc.
In fact it jumped to the 'thriller' scenes right off the bat early into the movie with little time for character development.
On that note, it was simply disgusting in a horrible way. My advice: Don't bother watching this unless you've already watched every other show on the planet already.

I read other dudes review about Gyo before I watched the movie. Now I didn't have to shower but this movie was pretty out there. Don't wanna spoil anything for anyone elses viewing pleasure but you will end up deleting this after you watch it honestly and then want that hour of your time back.
Story; Slow and slightly interesting but to many loose ends at the end nothing is really even summed up or confirmed, its just left hanging with multiple possibilities.
Characters; Now I did like that everyone looked natural no crazy eye/hair colors as for ( read more)

Story; Slow and slightly interesting but to many loose ends at the end nothing is really even summed up or confirmed, its just left hanging with multiple possibilities.
Characters; Now I did like that everyone looked natural no crazy eye/hair colors as for each personality no one minus the 2 main people had any real relevance to the story itself other than to show the "infection" progress.
Animation; Decent enough I would say half cgi/half drawn which is fine I agree with squad14capitain drawing swarms would be a bitch and you couldn't pay me enough to get carpel tunnel syndrome with this movie
Entertainment; At best something to play in the background and troll the hell out of
and last but not least Dialogue; It fell short with anyone but the 2 main protagonists everyone else was just wasting air and roaming aimlessly...
Over all this movie was a waste and no I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch this unless they wanna troll some shit but low budget zombie flicks are even better than this but meh to each their own ( show less)

Like the title said, this movie grossed and freaked me out to the point where I had to take a shower. Okay, its not that bad, but honestly, get ready to see some pretty weird shit that's gross...and I mean gross! Hell, the part where the morbidly obsese humans that are infected get tendrils shoved up their naked asses and mouths and they go around farting and spitting their crap on people made my body feel weird. But enough about that! The movie!

...Okay, the story really is average among the whole pandemic genre. Basically things overtake the city, and then the world. Coming in contact with them gets you infected while the main lead tries to escape to find her lost lover. Some reporter happens to tag along for the ride. I mean pretty much that's how every type of these movies go in the US. Even the part where the main lead's body doesn't get infected even though she was cut was cliche. In the end this was a very cliche story.
Animation: Well if anything I can say it portrays people realistically. No freaky hairstyles or colors, just having people look natural...which is why some of them look ugly. Because there is this random 3threesome sex scene and they couldn't pick any 3 people that looked more unattractive. Now as for the monsters, some are CGI while some are animated. I'm overlooking the whole CGI thing because hand drawing an entire swarm of creatures would take too long.
Entertainment....lets just say I quickly deleted this file after I watched it on my computer. I DO NOT want to go back and watch it again.
Mature Rating: Blood (not graphic), Nudity (typical boob showing)....and the gross factor! Its not a scary horror movie...but just disgusting. I would have liked it a lot more if it wasn't so nasty! ( show less)
