Ijime: Ikenie no Kyoushitsu dives into the dark underbelly of school hierarchies. It’s animated, yes, but it doesn’t shy away from the raw, unsettling nature of bullying. The story pivots around Sera, who embodies that queen bee archetype, ruling with an iron fist and leaving emotional wreckage in her wake. The pacing has this relentless tension—every moment hangs heavy, amplifying the dread. The visuals are striking, not overly polished, which adds to that gritty feel. It’s not just about Sera being cruel; it explores the chilling indifference of peers who blindly follow her lead. You kind of feel the weight of each character's choices, and that’s what sets this film apart. Definitely not your typical school story, that’s for sure.
