Anyways I first got interested in this series because of the pastel gif sets I saw on Tumblr of Nico. I saw her and fell in love. I thought this was going to be a fun and cutesy anime, so, unwisely, without reading any reviews nor summaries of what was to come, I delved in and became deeply disturbed. JUST KIDDING! I've watched worse but this was still kind of a shock from what I had originally envisioned.
{Not Spoiler Free}
The whole concept of this anime is quite intriguing. I think that if people were forced to be connected like this and ended up becoming more connected it would ultimately benefit the world even if this isn't exactly a humane way of doing it. I feel like all peace efforts are portrayed in movies to be a failure (just look at Star Trek Into Darkness, that peace effort was a menace). So in that sense, the peace effort was completely psycho. They messed with teenagers who probably had their own problems and pressured them until they pretty much broke. However, from worldly pressures, diamonds are created; the same could be applied to these people. Out of their lack of shared interests or any other similarity except being in the same class, these seven people were able to form a strong friendship.
There were several exceedingly crazy people that definitely lost sight of the main goal a long time ago which was I suppose the whole basis for the series. It was definitely a emotion twister and a bit of a thriller as I couldn't really predict what was going to happen next. I mean how could you really know what's happening with an anime with gomorins running around and crazy people cutting into other people so they can all share pain? Exactly, it is the essence of unpredictability. However, sometimes it's good not to be able to predict what's ahead and to just go along with the ride.
As far as the characters go the people that created them made them all very diverse in design and demeanor. All of them are so eclectic and even though I mostly mean Nico and Hisomu, in their own ways each of them are so distinctive. Their clear distinctions between them made it easier to connect to them and understand their individual point of views of the situations at hand. I really liked the concept of them all sharing their pain, revealing their dark, unexpected secrets to each other (I mean Honoka's backstory was KILLER (no pun intended)), and how after facing that ordeal they were able to become better friends and realize that even without the Kizna System connecting them that they were still connected through empathy.
All in all I was satisfied with the ending. Everything was resolved and everyone was on the road to recovery. It left me feeling a sense of closure. The ending scenes where it showed Honoka and Yuta's blooming romance (http://miuroko.tumblr.com/post/146462036668 check out this gif set because it's everything) as well as Nico's promise for a showdown with Chidori for Tenga's love left me very amused. The concept of Kiznaiver was exceptional, the art was great, the OP was BEAUTIFUL and the characters were fabulous.
Because Nico is my favorite
