Currently Airing Anime

Those CG's look pretty good and not nearly as graphic as I thought they'd be (unless these are the mild ones? Hopefully not because I'm not a fan of gore). I prefer no spoilers so I'd probably just give it a try. It seems pretty long though, so I'd have to make time for it.

Also, I think I understand why you said there's story butchering, since the anime is halfway done and I don't think they have even given a hint about those bad guys yet.

:X

[SPOILER=Open only if you like gory and grotesque imagery; you've been warned]









And keep in mind I've only been sharing the CGs from the game. :x Most of the imagery takes place above the text, as the story is going on. The music + sound effects for this game are definitely not for the weak of heart. They are highly graphic and very realistic.

 Spoiler

I'm not kidding. I'm talking scenes as gruesome as a mother (Sena's mother) eating her rotting fetus. A mother (Hazuki) gouging her unborn fetus from her very womb. Five people jumping from a building and exploding into a mass of blood and gore so thick, you can't tell them apart. Etc, etc...

Yeah, the anime has done MASSIVE butchering already. They mainly highlight only the biggest stuff. They shave off a LOT of explanation, backstory, character building and entire events altogether. And worse than that, they've already changed a few things, too. Another bad thing is that the anime only shows either the good or the bad delusion (and often skips over those scenes completely). The only way you get to see all the good + bad delusions Takumi has is to play the VN through twice.

It is very long, think of it as no different than reading a very long novel. It took me about 15 hours, and I'm a pretty fast and well-practiced reader, to read through it once. It's gonna take you around 30 if you want to read through it twice (which I highly recommend), so that you can see all the differences between the good and bad delusions, plus the different endings.
