Synopsis

With dead and lifeless eyes, Rachel Gardner wishes only to die. Waking up in the basement of a building, she has no idea how or why she's there. She stumbles across a bandaged murderer named Zack, who is trying to escape. After promising to kill her as soon as he is free, Rachel and Zack set out to ascend through the building floor by floor until they escape.

However, as they progress upward, they meet more twisted people, and all of them seem familiar with Rachel. What is her connection to the building, and why was she placed in it? Facing a new boss on each floor, can Rachel and Zack both achieve their wishes?


My review!!!

The Anime can be watched here...

Let me be the first to say this one threw me for a loop! There were a lot of factors in that... One of the bigger ones was the fact that this is one of the rare anime I have found to have it in Russian! One of my children is learning Russian so it was nice to be able to watch something good and give him practice all at once!

As I reviewed this I had to keep my scoring in mind.

ART: 3 pts.
STORY: 3 pts.
SEQUEL:2 pts.
QUESTIONS: 2 pts.

With this in mind lets talk about the anime!

The artwork, or in this case animation, was done beautifully! nothing seemed out of place and the few times I paused it I could tell a lot of work went into it. Sometimes you will pause and think "Oh my, they did not mean for me to see this frame!" or something along those lines. This is because the animators skipped drawing in things that will only go by in a flash. This is normal but some of them are not just missing things like eyes or smiles. Sometimes you find odd shaped bodies/objects and since they too go by in a flash it is normally ok that they do this. In this anime I paused randomly a few times and nothing was too out of place! I may have missed some because I didn't go frame by frame but the average person doesn't do that anyhow. Because I couldn't find any big mistakes when I paused I say this gets full art marks!

The story was both simple and complex. This isn't an easy thing to manage smoothly so I was happy they had done such a great job! The part that grabbed me the most was when the main characters meet and she asks him to please kill her! I was not expecting that!! Full marks here too!

Now it's sequel... This one is always hard to answer since I only have to read or watch 5 chapters or episodes. It's hard to tell in the beginning if it has potential for a second season but some just scream "I might have more coming!" at you. Then there are those that you just can't stop watching or can't put down and they end on a cliffhanger! I love/hate those lol. This was one of those... Before I knew it I was at the end of the show. It has potential for another season and I really hope they make one! Full points!

Now for questions.... I did have a few at the end but that was part of what made it a good sequel opportunity in the first place! Having a few questions is ok but being left baffled is a bad thing... This one answered just enough to keep you wondering but not enough to make you hate the ending. Full points here too!

So now the final score!

On a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being a "Perfect-Must-Watch" rating I give this...

With this breakdown I hope you will find the review a bit more helpful without giving anything away. Sometimes I may add images or talk about characters a bit but I am still getting used to the new set up. I know I pretty much just talked tech in this review and I am sorry if that isn't what you wanted. I'm still trying to figure out how much and where to put the details of the anime or manga. Most likely it will be in story with a dash here and there in other parts. Only time will tell. In the meantime I hope this review made you a little curious!

Go check it out... It's soooo worth it!

As always... Thanx for reading my review!
Hope you have a great day!!!
