Review of Blood Blockade Battlefront

Wow. What a roller coaster ride. There's so much you could say about a series like this, but it really only does it justice to watch it. If you're ready to take a plunge into the heart of hope and madness, then you've found the right anime. The experimental animation style, the disjointed storytelling, the surreal setting, and the atmospheric music really hold the viewer in sway, and allow this anime to accomplish the crazy immersion that it is able to. And the story, though more or less pretty straight-forward, is really able to free-fall through the themes and motifs that the plot throws atyou thanks to the movement these components provide. And, while these disparate parts might seem unrelated at first, the story really does seem to manage to glue them all together. Suffice it to say that, by the end, you will be bewildered, intrigued and a bit dizzy, but, as everything comes full circle, you'll also be left with the brave uncertainty, and the catharsis that comes with, what I like to call, "a thematically perfect ending."
