The last episode of Gannibal was released today. Had to extend my Disney+ sub for another month just to support this show which sucks cause there is nothing else for me to watch on it.
The final action scenes were lackluster of all the great tension filled action throughout the series. I can't believe they introduced this new Goto family member only for him to be done by a poisoned knife. I kept waiting for him to pop up as a zombie in the hospital.
I was expecting a great big fight in the end with Ano Hito / That person but Daigo ending beating up a few underlings and Keisuke did not even put up a fight which was disappointing because he never did anything and was indecisive. The real final boss fight turned out to be boring.
However, thinking about the ending, this show is about the new generation not carrying the evil practices and hatred of the old generation. That is what Keisuke was trying to do and while I wanted to see a Daigo and Keisuke kill everyone final battle, I understand the ending that we got.
I can't give this a must watch like for season 1 but I still had fun. I am so happy that Disney made a mature and violent jdorama. This is something that is missing from jdorama-land. Disney, you have my money as long as you make mature Japanese shows. Very watchable series and well done.

I couldn't think of any J-Drama that as violence and gory as Gannibal, hopefully we'll get more of that from Japan someday. South Korea is already ahead from Japan with Squid Game, Sweet Home, All of Us Are Dead, and Stranger From Hell.
if you're looking something to watch on disney+, i'd recommend a town without seasons (kisetsu no nai machi). kudo kankuro wrote it (also directed it). personally among the recent things he wrote, i like this drama the most.
@Faiz: Alice in Borderland is pretty good Gannibal is what I want.
@Anon: Thanks for Kisetsu no nai Machi recommendation. For some reason it never turned up when I was searching for Japanese stuff on Disney+.
@Akiramike: I'm dying to see more mature, violence and gory J-Drama, hopefully they can give big budget drama to Takashi Miike and Sion Sono or something. Totally weird why Korea end up making Parasyte K-Drama, it's pretty good.
@Faiz Ikari: Will check of Parasyte K-drama when I get Netflix. How does it compare to the 2 jmovies?
@Akiramike: I think the K-Drama version is an original story. I don't remember much about both of the J-Movies, but I can confirmed that I like the K-Drama version a bit more.
