+Oh my, where do I start describing this thing…
+
+I may start from the translation, where they managed to mis-gender one
+of the main characters. She's called KONO Ayumi, which is a girl's
+name, she's part of a group of girls, she's clearly drawn with a
+female figure, but it's "Mister Kono" and "he", both in the dubbing
+and in the subtitles. I don't want to think the error came from her
+first line being «Do you love me?» directed at another girl. I doubt
+the translation will be fixed before the commercial release,
+though. I'd also like to know why the cameras that record everything
+everyone does are called "storage devices" (a fansub has them as
+"image collection devices", which sounds like a better translation),
+but that's just a minor nit.
+
+Then, the setting. Sometime in the future. There's been peace
+everywhere for about a century. People tent to interact mainly
+on-line, so schools have to convince pupils to have actual in person
+contact. Also, food shortages have been eliminated by a company that
+makes synthetic meat from plant matter (no, don't ask why they can't
+just eat plants). But, violence and murder are still around.
+
+There's a series of murders, and four girls get involved: Yuuko gets
+nearly killed, Mio wants to know what happened, Ayumi has witnessed
+the scene, Myao has helped save Yuuko, Hazuki (our point-of-view
+character) is just dragged into the whole mess because she's part of
+the same "in-person communication group" as the first two girls. Their
+teacher / supervisor / whatever is asked to cooperate with the
+investigation by a shifty figure in the police; her boyfriend (?) is
+also part of the investigation.  A few things happen: while trying to
+discover who's the killer, and to avoid getting killed, the girls
+practise a dance routine from an old video recording (no, I have no
+idea why, it's totally unrelated to the plot); Mio hacks into the
+surveillance network, and near the end she goes around inside a robot;
+Myao kicks ass (she's Chinese, so of course she's good at martial
+arts); Ayumi rambles philosophically; Hazuki is generically
+encouraging; there's explosions and more deaths; there's a vague
+explanation at the end, where we discover that the title ("werewolves"
+in French) comes from the fact that some people will behave like
+beasts for whatever reason.
+
+The drawings, animation, and music are not nearly good enough to make
+up for the shoddy setting and plot. I feel, honestly, that I've wasted
+a hundred minutes watching this.
