Skip it. Without any critical reception to validate the concept, 'Scarlet' sounds like a visually stylish but narratively convoluted anime that's trying too hard to be profound—the 'Land of the Dead' revenge plot feels recycled, and the existential stakes about becoming 'Void' don't land without proven execution.

Plot

After failing to avenge her father's murder, Princess Scarlet, wakes up in the "Land of the Dead." In this world filled with madness, if she does not achieve her revenge against her nemesis and reach the "No End Place," she will become "Void" and cease to exist. Can Scarlet find a way to live at the end of her endless journey?
