Review of The Outcast Season 1

Rumor has it that they use Hitori no Shita: The Outcast to torture prisoners. And from time to time masochists watch it on lonely nights too. Story 3/10 The creators either tried too hard to make something complex out of poor ideas or they came up with an idea that was so complex they failed to materialize it. Hitori no Shita is definitely not an anime you die waiting for a new episode every week, but you do die waiting for something interesting to happen while watching it. Art & Animation 2/10 Fine backgrounds, reason why it's 2/10 and not 1/10. The animation is so awkward even the movements of themouths and eyes are weird and off. It doesn't even look like a group of people put any effort into it, the lack of fluidity is so visible it hurts. Maybe it's the very first project of a brand new studio and I'm just being mean.

Sound
7/10

The OP and ED are probably the best parts of this show (even the animation); if you're not interested in watching the anime, watch the OP&ED separately and consider you've seen enough of Hitori no Shita.
The background music is also fine, but then again it's background music. What can go wrong..

Character
2/10

Given how many relatives of the two MCs are involved here, you can just divide them into XUs and ZHANGs. And that's pretty much about it.

Overall
4/10
