Pupa

Pupa (ピューパ Pyūpa) is a 2014 horror anime series by Studio DEEN, adapted from the horror manga of the same name by Sayaka Mogi. It was broadcast during early 2014. It was met with an extremely negative reception and is widely considered to be one of the worst anime shows of all time.

Plot
The siblings Utsutsu and Yume Hasegawa get infected by the Pupa virus, which gives the former regenerative abilities, while turning the latter (Yume) into a flesh-eating monster whenever she is famished.

Why It Deserves to get Infected

 * 1) Terrible and messy story with inconsistent pacing and tone that tries to be dark. And while a story about two children who are abandoned by their abusive parents and now have to survive on their own, on top of one of them turning out to actually be a monster, could make for an interesting story, it fails due to the anime's themes, tone, and complete refusal to actually form a real story.
 * 2) *This anime attempts to be a sad story that needs to be emotional and deep, but it ended being poorly executed.
 * 3) The episodes are way too short, each of them running for only 4 minutes. To make things worse the series runs for only 12 episodes. When combined, the whole series runs for only 48 minutes; which is the length of just slightly over 2 episodes of a typical anime.
 * 4) It removes certain parts of the manga because of the short 4-minute runtime. And while it doesn't cut quite as much as some other anime adaptations of manga, it still results in some events, plot points, and characters that appeared in the manga to never been seen nor occur here.
 * 5) It was Studio Deen's lowest point on making an anime since Umineko: When They Cry, which gave it a very bad reputation. And just how bad was it, exactly? Well, not only did it manage to get one of the absolute lowest ratings of any anime TV series on MyAnimeList (you know, the website that houses just about ''every single anime in the world?), but it also actually broke Anime News Network's rating scale in its Shelf Life review. The result? It ended up earning itself the column's first "Flushable" score in over a year. Needless to say, this, combined with all the other negative feedback the series received, greatly damaged the anime's studio's reputation.
 * 6) Terrible animation with extremely clunky movements and color palette that looks like some sort of sewage water.
 * 7) Despite being a horror anime, it clearly has no idea how to actually be scary. Therefore, there is plenty of excessive gore. The problem with this is that it makes a lot of the scenes downright repulsive and unpleasant to sit through.
 * 8) Speaking of the series' failed attempts to be a horror anime, the series repeatedly uses shock value in the form of enormous amounts of blood, gore, violence, and other attributes found in many media aimed at adults. But unlike the good examples of media like that, it isn't being violent for a deeper or more complex story-related reason, but instead, the only reason it's present is to make the story more edgy and to shock the audience.
 * 9) The characters are just uninteresting, when they're not outright unlikable and indeed were uncharismatic.
 * 10) *Utsutsu and Yume Hasegawa, the main protagonists of the series, are incredibly bland and have almost no real personality established over the course of the entire series. Nor do any of them go through any sort of character development. The most interesting things to be said about them are the effects that the pupa virus has on them (i.e., Yume becoming a cannibalistic monster, Utsutsu gaining regenerative abilities), but even those aren't personality-related traits, even though Utsutsu does care a lot for his sister.
 * 11) *Shiro Onijima, is an abusive father of the Hasegawa sibling that is cruel, sadistic, and outright lifeless, who thinks he's proud that her child, Yume is not his "real" daughter, and enjoys abusing her with her brother Utsutsu for the fun of it. In the anime, his scenes from the manga were butchered and motivations are unknown until later chapters after the anime ended.
 * 12) **On the subject of Shiro's backstory that's only revealed in the manga, it was revealed that he had a horrible past just like his "children" including being abandoned by his own mother in a public toilet and adopted by an artist that would severely abuse and torture him for the sake of his creations. And this all was given to him in an attempt to make him seem like a more sympathetic character, because he can't help but hurt his loved ones after his adoptive guardian shoved the notion that "violence is the purest form of affection" into him until he started believing that and exhibiting said behavior onto others. But that's something really hard to sympathize with, not to mention how he doesn't even try to be a better person than the people who had wronged him in his past.
 * 13) *Yume and Utsutsu's mother, Sachiko, is a terrible parent who left her children due to having her daughter Yume, being infected by the Pupa virus and thought to have cheated on his husband (and that doesn't make no sense). She immediately broke up with Shiro and started dating another man without even worrying about her children.
 * 14) There's a scene in one of the episodes that has Utsutsu reading his own manga. And by that, we mean that it was the exact same manga that the show is based on, which is confusing.
 * 15) While most of the voice acting is passable on it's own, it still wastes the voice talents of Nobunaga Shimazaki (who voices Yuno from Black Clover, Tsukasa Fuiji from Your Name, Ryō Sakurai from Kuroko no Basket, Shido Itsuka from Date A Live, Licht Jekyll Todoroki from Servamp, Yuki Sohma from Fruits Basket, Shun Kaidou from The Disastrous Life of Saiki K, and Ritsuka Fujimaru from Fate/Grand: Order), Mariya Ise (who voices Olivia Reuel/Jean Rowe from Code Geass, Levy McGarden/Romeo Conbolt from Fairy Tail, Nagisa Shingetsu from Danganronpa, Stocking Anarchy from Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, Antarcticite from Houseki no Kuni, Midari Ikishima from Kakegurui, and Guila from Nanatsu no Taizai/The Seven Deadly Sins), Ibuki Kido (who voices Kurumi Mori/Mio Minato/Asami Himuro from Aikatsu!, Maa from Nyanko Days, and Kana Yabuki from The iDOLM@STER), Mamiko Noto (who voices Pandemonium from Gintama, Yuka from Elfen Lied, Kotomi Ichinose from Clannad, Alice Gehabich from Bakugan Battle Brawlers, Haruko from Bleach, Mavis Vermillion from Fairy Tail, Elsa DeSica from Gunslinger Girl, Sheele from Akame Ga Kill! and Sawako Kuronuma from Kimi ni Todoke), Kouji Yusa (who voices Ayumu Toujou from Gintama, Yoru no Ou from Is This a Zombie?, Shinji Kamuro from Mob Psycho 100 Yuri Petrov from Tiger & Bunny, and Shadow the Hedgehog from Sonic X), Kenjiro Tsuda (who voice Keisuke Tachibana from Air, Kai Chisaki from My Hero Academia, Bacchus Groh/Silver from Fairy Tail, Aoba Yamashiro/Shin'emon from Naruto, and Seto Kaiba from Yu☆Gi☆Oh! Duel Monsters), and Shiori Mikami (who voices Ally from One Piece, Krista Lenz from Attack on Titan, and Mina from Sword Art Online).
 * 16) The relationship between the siblings is outright  INCEST . Not to mention how it's conveyed in one (if not the) of the absolute WORST ways possible; by having Yume  eating Utsutsu's flesh . We are NOT joking.
 * 17) *On the subject of their relationship and its portrayal, there's even an entire episode dedicated to Yume slowly eating Utsutsu's flesh, all the while saying "Onii-chan (brother)!" in a lustful tone with every bite.
 * 18) *In fact, the scene where Yume eats Utsutsu's flesh are also very disturbing and gory to watch.
 * 19) Gratuitous, pointless, and distracting censorship that ends up covering way too much of the screen with black bars. Especially when it comes to episode 8.
 * 20) Yume's "red tentacles" look like a rip-off of Tokyo Ghoul 's.
 * 21) *This is likely made to cash-in on the success of it's sho w and manga.
 * 22) Poor background music that doesn't fit what's going on and relying more on the horror tropes.
 * 23) The ending is just disappointing and unsatisfying because it was never found a cure to the Pupa virus and doesn’t resolve ANY of the plot threads found from the manga ever since it ended its serialization.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Pupa (the opening theme) and Dare Yori Suki Nano Ni (the ending theme) are good songs.
 * 2) Aside from the bad animation,The character designs are pretty well-made.
 * 3) Despite this, they removed some parts that are too disturbing to tone down.

Reception
Pupa was universally panned by critics and viewers alike. With nearly all of the anime's criticisms being directed towards its reliance on shock value, tasteless violence and gore, mean-spirited nature and shallow characters, incredibly short runtimes per episode, and especially the incest parts. And the series is widely considered to be one of the worst animes ever made. It holds a 2.4/10 on IMDb and a 3.4/10 on MyAnimeList.
