I find Deviant! to be a hidden gem of simple charm. It can be seen as just another caricature of a very restrict society where life is rendered virtually meaningless; the implications of actual, severe punishment for even the slightest infractions, however, contribute to make the environment, rich in its grayness and dirt, more suffocating and depressing.
Of almost childish design, the characters are quite expressive in their mannerisms and movements. They gain so much life when they're being deviants. There's an almost surprising change in mood when the protagonists leave their homes at night to break as many rules as possible, and the speed of the scenes increase, combined with an exciting chase-like soundtrack.
It's simple but charming, and succeeds at making one feel with the atmosphere and the characters. The animation and music are a strong point.
