I first read the manga and wasn't totally interested but I had some hope for the anime. As I've seen before like in Attack in Titan, the anime has the ability to add filler and give the story more depth and charcter development, although not too genuine. However, the anime of Pupa significantly cut out what little the manga contributed to this unique plot device. Instead of stressing Utsutsu's unwavering devotion towards Yume, the anime uses small clips to outline major events. Instead of giving the viewers a relateable setting in order to capture and ensure returning viewers, the anime skips these formalities and cuts straight to poorly integrated gore scenes and effects. I get this feeling that the anime will rely solely on it's random gore but in my opinion it would be better executed if the anime was more conservative with its blood. It's a serious deviation from what modern day anime employs; the classic formula of introducing characters, establishing their relationships, and revealing the conflict on episode 8 or somewhere within that range.

Honestly, I'm just disappointed with execution of the anime and the cutting of plot events instead of the broadening of them. Maybe this is just an elaborate business model in which the anime randomly explodes into a full flegded horror, emerging from its husk to evolve into a lifeform never before seen. Hopefully tthe anime takes a turn and follows a different path than the one it is currently suggesting. I believe there is still hope, or maybe this innovative style of anime may actually gain some support. Or it'll die by episode 4.
