Nice one!
I never got into anime myself, despite trying to a few times for a friend of mine who really likes it. Actually that is a bit of a lie, I really liked sailor moon when I was younger and the original Pokemon (which is sort of a mainstream anime) hahaha. I've heard that there are a lot of good series though that are dark (like you mentioned and which I typically like) and also very philosophical - which I also like. I want to like anime so bad but I just can't get into it lol.
Great drawing though. I like the close up photos.
