his was a unique series, but ultimately a mess. The animation was uneven from episode to episode. They pulled a bait and switch with that first episode being animated using different techniques by another studio. Plot was nonsensical and seems designed to just go from one random spiral related horror shot to the next. The ending just happens suddenly. I am interested to check out the manga and old film, but this ultimately feels like another victim of the Toonami original curse.
It did feel like a two hour heavy metal music video with "hardcore" visuals rather than tell an interesting story, but it didn't bore me. I'm not going to call it the first good Toonami original, but it was at least not unwatchable like the others.
