Needy Girl Overdose

The direction of the anime is amazing. An original story ofcourse but its not tightly led by its plot per se, actually it leans more towards a social commentary. The writer is the same one who did the game and it shows. There are plenty of neat references throughout and the disjointed dreamlike flow of scenes really helps bring out its depressive themes and the precarious nature of Ame's psyche.

Its a deeply psychological anime if anything and some of the lines in here can hit really hard depending on the individual. If youre coming over from the game especially theres alot to love and ... I think its an expertly done adaptation which is wholly faithful to the goals and nature of its source content.

Another mediocre game adaptation from Yostar Pictures. As someone who has experienced some of the game's endings, I couldn't help but wonder how much of it would be adapted in this anime. However, I think it could be better, and I still believe it will improve in a few episodes.

Even if it improves, I don't think this is a good game for an anime. There are many other better game choices that I'm still waiting for an adaptation of. The level of avant-garde in this work is on par with similar works, with scenes that make abrupt cuts and go nowhere, characters saying indecipherable things, ... strange scenarios and changes of environment. You don't know if it's supernatural or real, but in the end, the theme will always focus on the virtual and psychological world.

I don't recommend either the visual novel or the anime for people who aren't mentally well. Aside from that, I recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre. Furthermore, things aren't as complicated as the first three episodes made them seem, precisely because of the original story choice based on the game. Even so, some things might seem strange. If you play the visual novel, you'll understand everything perfectly. The biggest problem lies in how Yostar Pictures adapts games; it's either merely acceptable or confusing, or lacking many important elements.

The essence of Needy Girl Overdose is certainly present in this anime, but I don't trust the studio that produced it enough to attract people unfamiliar with the game. The animation isn't weak, but the colors are too saturated, and the fluidity hasn't convinced me yet after just one episode. However, knowing the studio's history, it should follow a similar pattern, although I don't agree with some staff choices, but I understand the reasons.

Overall: watch it if you liked the VN, especially if you liked it enough to get some of the endings. Simply watch it if you're a fan of avant-garde or psychological thrillers, which usually go hand in hand. The story, in general, might not appeal to a large audience due to its specific themes and elements, but it will be perfect if you just want to see Tenshi-chan's progress and all the repercussions she causes in the story as a whole.

If you like being lectured at for 24 mins every week, this one's for you. The character's have little personality and instead just drone on and on about bad their lives are and how messed up society it is. There's no hope, no progression, just misery piled onto misery.

Yes the animation is interesting with a unique avant-garde style but it's just window dressing for a pointlessly drab and depressing "story". The story, if you can even call it that, is directionless and dull.

This whole thing just feels like it was made by art students wanting to show off how cool and edgy they ... are.
