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)

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)

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 (read more)
