This anime was the recommendation. I was sold pretty much by synopsis read on MyAnimeList and how my friend described it – along with a video excerpt. It looked and sounded like it would be a very interesting decent fantasy romp but it failed in all the right places in the wrongest of ways.
You've probably read the synopsis. Interesting, no? Well, that’s all Crime Edge has going for itself.
First of all, as interesting as the story is, it manages to seriously hamper it’s fresh plot with cliches and plot devices one can normally see in 3rd-rate Shounen anime and manga. The setting is basically for a ‘survival game’ so you know this is a Seinen production. Not only the characters but the plot devices also have some of the mos ridiculous names I’ve ever heard even by Japanese standards. One…

Drawn within It's context, Seems decent. Less appeal but better range than the manga.
The Possible Setback contains darker tone and every details is a hit and miss
Remaining Last 2 Episodes can be downer soon, As Why It's incomplete.
Story Starts off :
Haimura, as a natural geek barber from his own house, every time He cuts some hair. He became addicted with it (Nothing wrong with that, cause it's just a force habit). Precisely, He got involved into unknown house as He saw a girl in a white blouse towards the garden area. Their Fate ends up into a Deadly game where he should protect the Hair Queen from getting Assassinated or Get Killed.

Esse anime é definitivamente a pior coisa que eu já vi na minha vida, a melhor parte foi quando a luz caiu e eu não pude ver os últimos 2 episódios com meus amigos, porem, vi depois mas prestei mais atenção no anuncio de SAO do lado do player.
Tudo nesse anime é ruim, os personagens fedem, a historia parece que foi escrita pelo meu Shih Tzu, a edição do anime parece que foi feito no Power Point, a trilha sonora consegue colocar musica feliz onde tinha que ser musica dramática (Parece que alguém tropeçou e trocou todas as musicas de lugar do anime), a melhor parte é a ending (por que você sabe que acabou).
Enfim, 10/10, assistam com seus amigos e familia, praticamente um Hamlet dos animes.

I completed entire season in a day and i must say i am surprised how interesting it was.At beginning it seems like a poor anime but actually its not.I give it 7 overall because the plot is interesting and well paced.There are many mysteries and most of them are revealed in the second half of the season and i hope we will get another season.The best part is the MC.From nobody who has a little hair fetish to decide to become a protector of the ''Queen''and to go against others like himself is really nice touch in the plot and that is what makes it most interesting to me.To see him doing his best against stronger enemies and fighting to not become like his ancestor who is known as the greatest killer of all time and yet he realizes that he needs more power if he and his beloved wants to survi…

Haimura Kiri looks like an ordinary boy from the outside but he is actually a person with a hair cutting obsession, and a severe one at that. He wants to cut sweet lady hair to satisfy himself and for that purpose he carries a scissor And one day he meets The Queen of Hair- a girl who couldn't cut her hair. Sounds like a perfect match right?
Story: This story is one of those that messes up the audiences emotions, it's hard to think that the mangaka pitied any of the characters. The story elements fits together and have enormous plot twists. The Romance scenes of this one is very superb. Like it or not hints of ecchi and harem can be found. The whole story is a balance between horror,cuteness and psychology-an unusual combination. However,Combined together it gave out an interesting story…

With a unique storyline and engaging characters, Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge is definitely an anime worth watching.
It might seem complicated and complex at first, but the anime runs on a simple and easy to understand plot, which allowed me to get used to the characters without focusing to much on trying to figure out the plot. It got a bit predictable towards the end, but there are plenty of unexpected surprises that make up for it. The episodes all felt connected, and the right amount of comedic moments were mixed in with action scenes, yet the plot continuously moved on. Some topics explored in the anime may make some people uncomfortable, but can usually be overlooked. Overall, the ending was pretty good and delivered enough closure, but it hinted at a second season that has yet to be…

Every few years there are anime that some believe revolutionizes the industry, some may even say that it "saves" anime. Case in point: Madoka (2011), Attack on Titan (2013), and Kill La Kill (2013). Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge however, is not one of those animes.
Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge was the least entertaining anime of Spring 2013. I will give the originality of the story credit, sadly though originality alone is not enough to make this an even decent anime. The beginning three-fourths of the show walk the line between entertaining and complete boredom. Only after episode 8 do you finally realize that you're completely tired of this show but your so invested in it that you can't help but watch it till the end. Besides for the execution of the story, the characters that are suppose to…

Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge is a rather recent anime based on a manga by Hikagi Tatsuhiko. The anime was handled by Studio Gokumi, a studio I only know from their work on A Channel. They don't really have many works yet since they're a pretty new studio, their first work wasn't even four years ago. This will be the second anime I've seen from them. Let's see how it compares to the first.
Our story opens with Kiri, our protagonist, going to the house of a rumoured spirit with long hair because... that's his fetish. I'm not even kidding. He goes because he has a hair fetish. When he gets there he finds a petite girl roughly his age with hair down to her feet. He decides to stare at her, scissors in hand while breathing heavily. Contrary to common sense or basic survival skills, the girl, Iw…

Crime Edge was definitely a pretty trippy experience. It takes the typical “people battle to the death” concept that we’ve seen with Fate/Zero and Mirai Nikki and makes it unique. Whether that’s bad or good has completely polarized the few people that bothered watching this. Though the viewers who would argue that Crime Edge is a “bad” show have taken majority, I take my place with my minority.
I’m not going to argue with the majority because Crime Edge really is chocked full with flaws. Regarding the plot, well, it’s essentially pretty poorly told. The story is full of rushed and vague plot points that are never fully explained, let alone even made use of. It brings up seemingly important characters and scenes that never amount to anything in the end. Essentially, the writing for the sto…

Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge (The Serving Crime Edge) is a dramatic battle series submersed in a number of sexual fetishes. Despite that last statement, this series isn't really ecchi except for a few select moments. Gotta admit, I like this series even though it is pretty cheesy in many instances. The action is pretty over exaggerated which is somewhat funny but adds great entertainment. You'll get a kick out of this series for it's exaggerated fight scenes and budding romance.
Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge primarily focuses on character development more than it does on fighting scenes. Maybe it would of been a better idea to focus more on the action and survival. The characters are made up of your basic cast from most shonen series. the headstrong white knight MC (Kiri) and the helpless dan…

This is my first review of an anime, so I'm sorry if its lackluster...
Anyways, Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge (The Severing Crime Edge) is about a boy who has a fetish for hair and stumbles upon a girl who turns out to have uncuttable hair. After a lot of trying and testing, the MC's pair of scissors (inherited from his ancestor) turn out to be able to cut her hair. Sure, everything seems fine and dandy now, now that the heroine can return to a normal life, but this is not the case. Sort of.
As a result of their apparently fated meeting, this sparked a game that would involve killing, and lots of it. To an extent. Now, the MC must protect the heroine from the killers.
Now this may seem like a typicable protect the girl thing, it's sort of not. This anime has cases of horror, romance, adve…

the purpose of this review is to give a concise, yet detailed overview of Dansai Buri no Crime Edge, while trying not to be too opinionated and subjective as possible. As well as refraining from using strict numbers.
Story: Good (about a 7)
The storyline is actually not that bad, and it doesnt contain a mountain of plot-holes like in other series. The concept is rather interesting as well, as the person who kills the "Hair Queen" gets their wish fulfilled, and this is turned into a game to see who kills her. Though the concept of a murder game is not original, at all, because anime like Deadman Wonderland and Mirai Nikki came first, and honestly are a lot more brutal and nerve-wrecking than Crime Edge. However, the story wont fail to entertain you and it still creates a nice blend of mac…

“Kiri-kun, you’re the first one to kill me!”
If I had to describe this anime in 3 words, it’d easily be “out of place”. It seems they tried to incorporate so many things into this short series, leaving you with a very fast-paced, poorly executed mess of out-of-place fanservice, actions, animations, and story elements.
Story: (4 / 10)
If you read the synopsis for this series, and you’re expecting an intense killing game involving these cursed “killing goods”, then you might as well leave right away, because this is not at all what the show is about.
Well, that’s not completely true as this deadly game is the underlying (or overlying?) plot for most things that happen in the series, but there’s no progression in the story, or any kind of wrap-up at the end.
In each episode, the two mai…

Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge by Studio Gokumi was springs 2013 attempt to create a horror-gothic action show with brutal murderers fighting over the death of the Hair Queen.
What sounds like a promising show turns to be a rather sad effort in making it as good as it sounds.
While I appreciate the goth-atmosphere the show had, it had some serious issues.
Story:
Dansai Bunri revolves around the middleschooler Kiri Haimura, who comes into contact with the so called Hair Queen, Iwai Mushanokouji. Kiri has magical scissors which allow him to cut the Hair Queens very long non-cutable hair. Through this they become a semi couple and Kiri has to protect her against her enemies, other people with so called Killing Goods, just like Kiris magical scissors.
Problem though is, that this game of hunter…

"Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge" wasn't too bad, it showed that the hard battles haven't even started yet for Kiri and Iwai, so we should get another season if all goes well, it's not a bad anime so I'll be watching it, still think it's weird though with the guy having his hair cutting fetish :P some characters had some pretty good Killing tools which they call "Killing goods", that are passed down from generation to generation, the holder needing somebody to help them keep their mind in check by doing certain things for them because the killing goods can make the holder lose their heads if they're not distracted enough.
8/10 for me
Characters weren't bad
Action was pretty damn good
Has a pretty good story to it overall.
Gory and violent as hell a lot of times. lol

Blood, gore, violence. Did any of these words attribute to what you read the synopsis or upon first glance of the accompanying image? Well this is what the anime is truly about, not some oversimplified plot where a guy with a hair-cutting fetish protects a girl who has long uncuttable hair. That's just the pretence set by the first episode, and due to this pretence it shatters the actual story of the anime; a murderous life-threatening game of protector vs protectorates or the so-called Gossip.
Story. If you watched the first episode, it doesn't do ANY justice to this anime whatsoever. The story is not about some maniac who wants to cut hair to the point where the stupidly ignores reality. No, this story is about how ordinary people who learn about their criminal ancestors get thrown into…

Everyone has his pills, all it takes is just a prescription we end up in total addiction.
For Haimura Kiri , his fondness for cutting hair has led him to a series of unexpected events stuffed in a peculiar story.Action evolves around these Killing Goods, that are normal objects that have powerful enchantments placed on them that is said to have been placed there by their first owners. As you have guessed these special properties are a means to power and conflict erupts when you fight to the death for a wish granted through a lowly murder leaving you in the end with some questions and hopes for the future.
Ominous soundtracks back up the very well made fighting scenes that keep up the suspense and sometimes induce the owners feelings.
Artwork is a pretty impressive work of light and color…

.........Hummm, that was interesting to watch, so how could I describe this dark drama, I'd probably say that it's fair enough to watch. Anyways (oops, my bad the adverb "anyway" wasn't suppose to pluralize)I kinda find this dark drama a bit interesting since this anime has a combination of the following: S & M, perverse simulated sex, suspense and horror all combine to make up for this anime's story, which is why I call it a "Dark Drama," thought the subjects of this anime's focus was on the curse objects called "Killing Goods" one can't help that the main feature was on Iwai. Now the story may have some similarities with your usual damsel in distress, Iwai fate was a bit different since there are some episode where she has to save her knight in shinning scissor, Kiri.

Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge: What's Your Fetish?
What happens when you combine Rapunzel and Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni with a generic moe romantic comedy? You get Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge, one of the most awkward anime series I've seen in quite some time. Awkward and campy are the best ways to describe it since trying to put this series into one genre is a damn near impossibility, on top of the odd elements this series tries to explore.
The series revolves around a rather strange junior high student with a hair fetish named Kiri Haimura, a possessor of a pair of scissors known as a Killing Good. These Killing Goods are murder weapons for killers in the past and are passed down to their kin throughout the ages. Kiri isn't the most accepting of his Killing Good, but his opinion quickly cha…

If you thought long hair was something of an eye catcher, get a load of this. Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge features a mysterious girl who has probably the longest hair length of almost any anime I've seen. I don't know if that's any sort of accomplishment, but this series takes strange to a new level as there's a particular young boy who is obsessed with the idea of cutting hair. Now the formula is complete with a young boy who wants to cut hair and a girl who has long hair. Oh but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Beyond that mountain of hair also lies danger for our two adorable friends. That doesn't stop the hair-crossed duo though because in Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge, there's more than just meets the eye beyond that hair.
