Aooni The Blue Monster
あおおに ~じ・あにめぇしょん~
In most ordinary high schools, many stories and rumors float around—some scandalous, some happy and some...more macabre. One such example is of monsters lurking in an abandoned mansion outside of town. Such tales, however, prove too tempting to resist for Hiroshi and his friends Mika, Takeshi, and Takurou. They decide to brave the rumored dangers in order to investigate the manor and complete a test of courage. Each of them approaches the mansion with an overwhelming sense of dread. And when they enter, they come upon a blue monster named Ao Oni who attacks them. As Hiroshi and his friends try to solve the various puzzles in the mansion and escape their new blue nemesis, they find themselves meeting several horrible endings as they fail miserably.

This opera is really underrated because of itscomplex structure. It looks like a dumb chibi funny anime, with no interest in developing the characters or making them progress like happened with the game. So you are probably wondering why I gave it a 10. That's pretty simple, this opera contains one other anime, really deep and conscious. You have to analyze what happens and you will understand what I say. For eaxmple in every episode they die, but in the next episode there is no sign of change in their acting, but if you know stoics's philosophy it will gain one other layer. It representsthe Doom or Logos, that no one can avoid and everything keeps repeating. Then we have the inverse episode, where the girl kills every monster alone. Again this is a great meaning, showing how you always have to analyze each side before doing something, and how there is no good and no evil. And in the end we have the second different end of the episode, as we saw in the "inverse" episode they main characters aren't killed only because they are part of one other world (Again a reference to stoics's philosophy), in the last episode we see how the kids become the monsters, again the speaking idea of no one is good, everyone can turn evil. Everyone who has bad reviewed this anime should go deeper instead of just simply watching it.

Ao Oni... few shows manage to impact my life in a meaningful way, and yet this masterpiece not only did that but it managed to change my life completely. It's truly an emotional rollercoaster of ups and downs, filled to the brim with comedy, tension, drama, horror, romance, and characters who evolve and adapt throughout the narrative. By the end of the series you've seen every character grow, to a point where looking back to the start they're almost unrecognisable. I would best describe them each, as a block of marble who are masterfully sculpted into perfect pieces of art. My personal favourite episodes are the 4th and12th (with the 4th winning out over the 12th by a slim margin) Episode 4 takes a deep dive into the "antagonist"'s mind (I use the term antagonist lightly here as he could be seen as a protagonist in a way), showing us the viewer how the character thinks and feels. This is where I was truly enlightened. This episode without a doubt made me realise that this was no ordinary show, oh no... This was in fact a masterpiece. Words alone could not even begin to describe how amazing this episode was in every department! Episode 12 could be seen as filler by some, and while that is technically true it still plays an important role in the series. The episode takes place in an alternate world where the former protagonist "Mika" is hunting the former antagonists in a bizarre twist of fate. Yet again I wouldn't be able to express how this simple change of the formula makes such a massive impact. The only reason this episode doesn't beat out the 4th is that it's not technically canon to the narrative and has no impact on it. In short, Ao Oni is truly a masterpiece that everyone should see!

I watched this as a joke because I'm familiar with the game, manga, and live action movie, not to mention the episodes are shorts, so you can finish watching the whole thing within an hour...... But WHY? Why does this exist? The animation is poor, the story tries to be funny but it comes off as cheap, and after about 3 episodes in the voice acting just sucks. Save your time and eyes, once you've watched about 3 episodes you've seen all that this anime has to offer. The anime tries to make a joke of the game and characters by having them die ineach episode in weird ways. It's supposed to be comical but comes off as cheesy. The animation honestly looks like something that can be done with a cell phone app. I honestly want to know just how this anime came to be lol.

I was pleasently surprised and disappointed by this series. It's kind of like a "Pop Team Epic" for horror. The characters seem to look and act like how they do in the game (even though Takuro is protrayed nicer than in the game) and are pretty spot on. Story-wise the shorts aren't always the best in quality. While some are genuinely funny, some are really bland and unfunny. The ending was surprisingly scary, and really came out of left field. It was a welcome surprise. The animation was well-done and super cute. It's not the best short "comedy" one-shot series out there, and Iwouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't played the game, but it's a decent show.

So, I knew about the original game this anime was based off for years, having watched multiple let's plays of it and planning to do my own series on the game in the future. It's a pretty basic story, four friends going to try to solve an old mystery of their town in a way that basically makes it feel like a Scooby-Doo episode that has an ACTUAL monster rather than a disguised person, but has it's scary moments and has always been rememberable to me. This anime, however, takes it in a more comedic route. And honestly, I'm perfectly okay with that, but I don'tthink it's for every fan of the game. It's basically putting the characters in these scenarios for crude humor, as multiple times they get killed in various comedic ways. Art is okay, not much to say on story as it's episodic and each episode's only three minutes, and the characters are about the same as their game counterparts; Hiroshi is the skeptic, Takuro is the hot-head, Mika is the token "girl" character, and Takeshi's still a coward. A few jokes fell flat for me, but all in all, it wasn't a bad time and did manage to make me laugh. Which is a good thing; I was in a pretty bad mood going in and it managed to fix that. The only "dud" episodes I had were episodes four and six, but that's probably because my sense of humor just doesn't match up to those. If you watch this, don't expect to be wow-ed by it or anything as it's nothing special and doesn't have the same anxiety-filled tone as the game, but some might get a few chuckles out of it if they take it at face value and just use it as something to turn their brain off to for a bit. Story: 5 Art: 6 Character: 6 Enjoyment: 7 Overall: 6 (Sorry if this wasn't a good review either, kinda my first one.)
