The AnimaTure

~The Anima-Ture~


The first story is just frustrating!
Yes FIRST story.

These stories are made into a series.

The first story is about a young person that thinks he is a monster living among humans and he tries to understand them but despite all his efforts he seems to fail every time.
This is based on a real story that happened making it more interesting to follow.

The young man is an artist and he always drew the same thing when he was still living with his father, a demon.
For everyone else it was just a white painting with a colour mix of blue, red, purple and black.
It was how he saw himself and that 'self' became a living nightmare that would follow him everywhere.



He drew more portraits of that 'self' as it was posing for him until the young man finally decided to live as a human.

He is from a wealthy family and still robs the poor just for his amusement.

He has bad friends that leech his money and persuade him into things he doesn't want to do.

The young man is a person that we would call insane as he does not kill but he does get others to commit suicide together with him.

The ending of the first story is just making us frustrated because it ends how it was supposed too with the first attempt to die.

Story : Decent

Art : Decent

Series length : Decent

As for the second story i totally hate it.

The animation style is nice and the characters are all drawn well but i just hate the plot.

The warrior bandit is afraid of the cherry tree 'blossoms' because it drives people insane.



I don't know if this story is real but i highly doubt it as the bandit warrior had headphones in when he met his beloved wife who dominated over him in the era of the samurai.

She was a collector of heads and like any girl she liked to play 'dollhouse', she played it with her collection of heads.

Later on the 'beloved wife' gets murdered by the warrior bandit as he was insane from the start as he just hates the blossoming of the cherry trees.

The cherry tree, according to him had an ill aura in it and drove people insane and thus he went insane with her on his back thinking she was a demon that was going to kill him.

The third story is one that also happened for real and this time it was a very short story.

The person in question studies day in, day out hoping to reach something.

It is not clear why he committed suicide and it is also unclear what happened to the girl that drove him this far.

He fell in love with the girl and that girl was already given away by her mother to another man, living in the same house.

This is a very unclear story but yet is touching as the characters are drawn beautifully and their voices fit for a full 100%.


The fourth story is one that is simply superb.

The story 'Run Melos' is just so touching and showing us what real friendship is about.

I love this story from the moment it starts until the moment it ends.

The characters are drawn nicely and just fitting with the two stories that play simultaneously which created an awesome feeling when watching.

The fifth story is somehow weird.
A self proclaimed 'king' what should've been Emperor instead, is moving from street to street, from house to house and killing everyone that crosses his path.

He thought the 'king' was making too much noise and told him that when he was preaching on his royal parade carriage making the whole kingdom his enemy.


Once he got caught and the 'king' ordered his death, the whole series turned in a magical world full of demons or what we would call hell.
He now is haunted by the people he killed and he is killing himself over and over again.

The sixth story is part of the fifth story but this time it is not a murderer but an artist that is said to be the best in the world.
He could paint the hairs of a human to the fullest detail which pleased the 'king' and he ordered him to paint another great work.


The 'king' became furious once he found out what the artist has painted on his sacred tomb that is the place his royal body would be kept for eternity.

The artist wanted to draw the fires that are even worse than those from hell but he just couldn't unless he saw a man within those flames, screaming out of agony and pain.

I won't spoil much but there are many people burning at the start and two, maybe more, at the end.
I gave this series a 3.5 out of 5 stars at Anime planet
