Dead Tube review

Curiosity got the better half of me after watching TheAnimeMan's video. After reading the first few chapters, I just kept reading cuz I was still curious before I reached the point of no return. Now I have depression lmao.

Ok, I'll say I enjoy themes that are kinda dark. I liked Akame Ga Kill and Fate Stay Night (all three routes and zero). However, this manga takes dark to a whole new level and I'm genuienly disturbed.

Story: 3
What if Youtube was like the Red Room and is government sponsored? Well that's the central plot around this series. Except, it somehow kinda mashes some actions scenes. I feel like a more psychological approach could be more suited for this story. But hey, some actions scenes are cool (Justice Man at least lmao). But still, I feel like it is kind of inconsistent. Are you tryna start a fight / gruesome action scene or are you just trying to earn some quick cash by filming other's demise? Also, there are ALOT of sex scenes. I feel like its a bit repetitive and thrown in just for the sake of it but censored just enough to not be classified as a hentai. The gore as well. It's being thrown in just to boost the shock factor. But that won't come as a shocker if I've seen it like every chapter.

Some character's background and motivations are sooo muddy and unclear that even the MC's are just speculating. Like ok, I get that you want to keep some suspense and mystery. But I thought this isn't a mystery manga? More like a thriller or horror manga. Even so, why did you not explain it when ITS THE END OF THE ARC?

Art: 8
Yeah the gruesome parts are really detailed. TOO detailed, if you ask me.

Characters: 3 (some spoilers from the RAW)
Whats the point of caring for the characters when they're gonna be dropped like flies? Yeah its cool to see the Rascal and Justice Man teaming up to fight against MC's apparently not dead Dad, but still most characters either appear for like 3 or 4 chapters and then they just kick the bucket. The MC is so twosided. On one hand, he seems extremely spineless, and on the other, is a ruthless maniac. The main girl kinda creeps me out (we didn't get much insight of her backstory). I'll say, my favourite character would be Justice Man, Miwa and Mizuno Saki. I like Justice Man because of his introduction arc being hilarious and Mizuno because of her character design. Miwa is also one of my favourite cuz of her design as well.

Enjoyment: 2
I'm depressed. So good job to the author if thats what he / she is trying to go for.

Overall: 3
Yeah just skip it. If you like gory stuff, then go for it.

TL;DR:
Won't recommend. Sex scenes and gore are just thrown in for the hell of it and doesn't really add much other than to boost the shock factor. If you like a survival horror story, go for others. If you are staying for character designs but not for their personalities, then sure.
