The Severing Crime Edge
aka Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge, this is a
supernatural thriller anime.
I like the concept of the echoes of old
murders still left behind. But there are lots of aspects that I don’t like, and
those almost outweigh the good aspect I consider to stop watching this anime.
But my curiosity gets the better of me and keep me engaged :P
The first why: why, oh why do you make the
male protagonist a pervert with hair fetish? HAIR FETISH. Eeeeuw. And why do
you make the scene of their encounter so damned... creepy ? If I were an
isolated young girl who has no friend, knows that there are people who want to
murder her, then I would scream, scream, scream until I exhaust my voice when
there was a young male who peeks through my solarium window wielding a hair
scissors! I DEFINITELY wouldn’t treat him! I’d call the police instead.
And the next episode is chock full of fan
service (read soft porn, soft porn) and sexual undertones. Bouncing breasts
(really, bouncing like a rubber ball), a sister that is (if I am not mistaken
with that kind of facial of expression) aroused... with her... SISTER...
injects her and licks her. And
paedophilia. And rape intentions. And naked girl body directly contacts with
the protagonist. Girl, not woman, which actually makes this scene creepier and
more horrible... especially after he
says in later episode that he likes her body... because that means the male
protagonist is attracted with a girl whose physical appearance resemble an
elementary school student, and it would mean that his abnormality is not only
hair fetish but also paedophilia. And a lot of licks, licks, licks with saliva
flying, flying, flying. Yuck.

| Saliva, saliva everywhere |
The scene where the grandfather of male
protagonist reveals their family origin is pretty bland. I mean, if my
grandfather reveals that our distant ancestor is a serial murderer with body
count over 200, I will be shocked and the revealing will be done in a serious
situation. Not with shouting with me sitting behind the door and my grandpa on
the other side.
OH GOD. Why must they ruin a perfectly good
concept with scenes like them? WHY WHY WHY.
Curse you with your dirty minds!
And why must you make fictional murderers?
There are perfectly creepy-as-hell and famous real serial murderers. Jack the
Ripper, for example. And the Queen Zewulfa can be perfectly substituted with
our famous lady Erzsebet Bathory.
Nnnnngggggghhhhhh but the myth is pretty good
(begrudgingly admitted, begrudgingly).
Despite all those things, I still want to
watch this anime. Sigh.
