Loups=Garous

In the wake of a devastating viral infection that wiped out more than half the world’s population, life is tightly controlled, from the government processed food you eat to the way you spend just about every waking moment of your life under the watchful eye of the Big Brother cameras located on every street corner and in every room of you house. So how is a serial killer getting away with the murder of school children? That’s the mystery that a group of young girls try to solve before they become the next victims in this new anime from director Jun’ichi Fujisaku. The story is strong and the voice acting a cut above what you hear coming from the mouths of most teenagers in anime these days. What raises Loups=Garous to the level of art are the gorgeous images that fill the screen. The style of the film does a terrific job of setting not only the scenes, but the tone of the film, perfectly capturing the paranoia the people are living with.
