Speed Up With The Worst Seinen Anime

Just like the title says, I have had to speed up with every Speed Grapher episode, well except the first two and the last one. Seinen genre should be more sophisticated and mature, seinen does not idealize romance, instead opting for more realistic and pragmatic approach to relationshipsand and I dont see it in Speed Grapher. What we have interesting in this anime: blood, gore, violence, death mixed with cliche and poor characters development, like for exemple cruel, cold mother who abused her own daughter, ah but through her past we see the she didnt act always malicious; villains are comic and silly with ridiculous ability, their power are stupid (lady that turns into a diamond, or a guy who's skin is like rubber). There is also a lot of sexual moments that ruined some decent serious moments and turns into silly joke, and action in that way looks funny. Voice acting is badly done, characters looks more irritating when you listen their voices, and lame music themes (egregious use of saxophone, 80's-ness, disco-like qualities) perfectly fits with lame gun fights. Relationship between Saiga and Kagura didn't work for me either. At least i managed to finish this before the “deadline“! :)
