Aku no Hana

I wrote about Aku no Hana when I first started watching it last fall, and wanted to write this follow-up now that I’m done watching the first season – I’d only watched the first 6 episodes, and so now finally got around to watching the rest (the last 7, that I watched in one go). This is truly an amazing piece of work, and although I did find the main character’s constant hesitation and self-doubt to be annoying, those last 3 episodes are really quite something. I think it has some of the best cinematography I’ve seen on TV. I can’t even begin to understand where the story can go following that ending, but it ends saying that it’s the conclusion of part 1, and I know it only covers half of the original manga series, so I really hope the show was successful enough for them to go ahead with a second season.
