So I tried watching the first episode of Pupa and…I'm scratching my head at what the hell I just watched.

It's a shame that this series is only five minute long episodes, because I feel that there's a lot of interesting ideas and potential but needs that time to expand upon coherently.

This show is also kinda disturbing but I don't think its disturbing in the way the creators intended…again, it would've been more effective as a full 20 minute series.

Got done with episode 6 of Hellsing, NOT Hellsing Ultimate as I need to watch the 13 fucking episodes of the original first, honestly I completely saw Alucard killing Luke Valentine coming from a mile away and Jan Valentine is a douche honestly his mouth should be sliced the hell off.

I looked it up out of sheer curiousity and this is my reaction.

Are the Pupa BDs out yet? I refuse to touch that show until they are (despite being super interested) because I know that the episodes that have been aired so far are heavily censored.

My shock doesn't come from the story, I expected that to a degree, but the episode length is what makes it so weird and disconnected.

Caught up btw.

As it is…Pupa is perhaps one of the most f***ed up animes I have ever seen.

My issue with it really isn't so much the moe anime girl eating people, the emo back story, or the slight incest themes but it really needs the proper length of a 20 minute series to tell that story in a way that doesn't make the creators look like they're on crack or have weird fetishes or something. Shame too because I like a few of the story elements but it's hard to be vested in something knowing it's 5 minutes long.

I hear the manga is better but that is a shitty practice to make the anime a promotional vehicle for the manga more so then other animes out there.

Exactly! It has the shock value it's aming for, and some story points they raised were very interesting, but in it's current form it's incredibly limited, and feels super rushed.

I started watching Supernatural: The Animation. It feels a bit rushed at points, given the fact that it's a series of 22-minute episodes condensing stories 40-minute episodes, but I like it nonetheless.
