I went to Netflix to finally start the new season of Komi, but I wound up starting a random anime I found instead, High-Rise Invasion. For something with as much random murder, panty shots, and even a sexual assault all very early on, I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying it. Granted I'm only three episodes in so there's still a chance it falls apart. It just has such a solid premise. People are trapped in a city of endless skyscrapers that are connected by rope bridges, and inhuman masked murderers are trying to kill them. I love high concept ideas like that, and all the edgy stuff I usually wouldn't like sets a fun tone here.

I'm a big fan of the SCP Foundation, and I feel like this premise would be right at home there. Plenty of those involved someone wandering into a place where nothing makes sense and they're being hunted, evoking the terror and confusion of a bad nightmare. In particular I'm reminded of one of my favorite SCPs, the one where people are trapped in an endless IKEA and monstrous staff try to kill them at night. I love stories like that, so even if High-Rise Invasion has the occasional flaw, I'm happy to be along for the ride!
