Mekaku City Actors

This anime show is by far the most confusing show I have ever watched. I can normally figure things out as the show goes one, but I couldn't do that with Mekaku City Actors. The story was all over the place and everything happend in what seemed like a day. I think 12 episodes wasn't enough for the show. I should have been longer just so it could clear things up. Like the ending for example. That ending was not a good ending, not at all. If any thing that ending made me ten times more confused than I already was and to top it all off it was a read the manga ending. I'm not a big fan of Mekaku City actors, but for some odd reason I can't fully hate it. I liked it yet I hated it. I have a love-hate relationship with this show. It wouldn't be the first time I've felt this way about a show.
Mekaku City Actors is about these kids that can change their eye color to a bright, vibrent red. When their eye color changes that is when their true power shows. Every single one of them has a different power that has to deal with their eyes. I'll just leave off there because I don't know how to explain the rest of the story line. The story jumps around so much that I can't explain it with out spoilers, not like I do that. One thing I will mention is that once it gets to the ending you should either skip over it or listen to it, because they do a story about a monster and that helps explain some of the story. You if your like me were you just click done once it gets to the ending, you shouldn't do that with this show. It would be wise not to do that, just skip the ending if you have to. That little one, two minute story explains quit a bit.
The art style of this show was really cool, I liked it a lot. I found it be really unique and it might have been on of the few things about this show that kept me watching. I think it was the animation, the opening, and my curiosity. I also liked the characters, they were good characters, but I have seen better ones.
When I watched the first episode the thought that kept coming through my mind was, "What was this show about again?" I was confused from episode one, not a good sign. From that one episode it just went down hill from there and of course I can't say that I fully hated it. There were some good parts to the show, but I don't think it flowed the way that they intended it to. They gave each character an episode it seemed so that they could give you some background on them, but that some what fell flat.
The biggest issue I have with this show is the ending, like I said before it was the worst. Once the show finished I just stared at the screen confused. They left it off on such a bad way. Worst of all Ayano comes back to life, so your just like, "didn't you die?", to the screen. So she didn't die? She was a live the whole time? Mekaku City Actors really knows how to make you confused. It's been a week since I watched this and I'm stil confused. I think the only way to get unconfused is to read the manga. The only problem with that is that I didn't like the show enough to read it. Who knows though maybe I'll read it in the future when I get bored.
That's all I really got. If you like confusing anime shows, than this show is the show for you. :) One last thing Ene was my favorite character.
