Aku no Hana
A strange anime with a different from usual art style.
Where do I start.. probably on what most people would hate about the anime - the art style of the animation.Why would people hate this Anime's art style? Well it is a more realistic style of art where they main characters are based on real people with realistic resemblance and detail, including freckles. The animation is also very realistic in regards to facial expressions and body expressions.
The reason I believe they chose to use this art style was to enhance the feeling of how realistically possible that the situations shown in the Anime.
The theme of the Anime is a dark, depressing and psychological.
The Anime as of yet has no unrealistic scenes and I believe it will not.
The Anime's name translated to English is apparently: Flowers of Evil
Now you might have an idea on how it visually seems to be, but let me attempt to explain the story in a non spoiler fashion.
The story is of a male student in a school who reads a book about sins and evil etc. But it's somewhat poetic or something. One day he gets into a situation where he impulsively does something which happens to change his school life. Another female student witnessed this act of impulsiveness and takes advantage of the situation. Simply put, she's the one who makes it psychological.
From the first few episodes, I personally found this Anime quite weird, yet I'm curious on what is going to happen next, despite how weird it is.
If this Anime's art style was created in the typical way, it would not have felt as psychological as it is and the story might of seemed stupid.
Also the OST of this anime is very eerie. Especially that ED...
What Ideas could you or I get from this Anime?
Well since this Anime is very different from most Anime, we could learn how simple mistakes or events could be shown in such a serious way that it turns from stupid to psychological.
In short, ideas might bloom from this flower for a Horror/Psychological Game
