Tokko doesn't care if you're ready for it. The action is visceral and genuinely violent in a way most anime won't commit to, and the mystery setup in the first half actually grips you, bottomless pits opening under cities, bodies stacked in churches, answers that keep sliding sideways. Then it hits a wall halfway through, abandoning the plot entirely like the budget died mid-episode, leaving you with a ending so incomplete it feels like a dare to pretend you didn't just watch it.
Ranmaru graduates from the police academy ready to serve, but his first day takes a bizarre turn when the mysterious girl from his recurring nightmares suddenly appears before him. Her name is Sakura, and she belongs to a covert unit concealed inside the special investigation force Ranmaru has just joined. One of only twelve survivors of a massacre in his hometown of Machida five years earlier, Ranmaru signs on with the hidden squad to avenge his murdered parents and uncover what really happened. Meanwhile, holes with no visible bottom begin opening across Japan, and strange creatures crawl out of them, raising the question of whether they are tied to the Machida killings. Raw action collides with genuine dread as supernatural horror unfolds alongside personal tragedy.
