Kiznaiver review

Interesting

"The anime's setting is a fictional Japanese city named Sugomori City. One day, Noriko Sonosaki tells her classmate Katsuhira Agata, "You have been selected to be a Kiznaiver." The Kizuna System, which allows Katsuhira to share his wounds, connects him to the classmates whose lives and personalities completely differ from his. The Kizuna System is an incomplete system for the implementation of world peace that connects people through wounds. All those who are connected to this system are called Kiznaivers. When one Kiznaiver is wounded, the system divides and transmits the wound among the other Kiznaivers. Sugomori City is built on reclaimed land, but as the years go by, the city's population is decreasing. The story is set in this town where Katsuhira and the others live."  -Summary

It was new to me the first time Joey, The Anime Man, mentioned it in a video. He noted that the art was great and I grew curious to what it was about. Indeed the art was good at first but it gets better. I have to say, the art style was very similar to MekakuCity Actors. The more interesting part of it is the plot line. In the story Noriko is so lenient on making humans understand one another. She does this through the means of 'connecting' each others' pain. That was where the story began.

We were introduced to a small group of characters with opposing personalities. Our main hero, Katsuhira Agata, is a boy who does not feel pain. Because of this he is unable to feel any difficult emotion such as love. Noriko is surprisingly much like him. In her case she's pretty stoic and is emotionless at times. Now, I haven't watched the entire season yet but I was surprised that I liked it despite being under the Sci-fi genre. I'm really inspired by the character's designs. They have very unique personality that goes well for each of their appearance. I still don't get why Katsuhira is called the 'Imbecile' in the anime.
