Forgive me, but this is my first review I've actually written out about an anime; but this one just pissed me off so much that I just felt the need to express my opinion on it. The show tries to damn hard to be edgy, and dark but it fails so much. First I will start off in saying that this show has basically the some of same story elements from SAO, No Game No Life, Konosuba, and Is it Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon. Most(if not all) came after Btooom! but at least they did it right(ok maybe not SAO, but
...
I think it was OK).
Characters:3
Himiko- The Feminist Poster-Child: The girl who thinks all men are out to rape her. I suppose that would make her a pretty good character, if they had actually decided to make her the strong independent woman she started out to be; but that is needless to say, not what we have here. Not spoiling the story(too much) for people who haven't seen the show, but something happened that made all of her friends hate her despite it not being her fault at all. Let's just say it involved rape. After this event they chose to send her into this game. After which, she is almost raped herself, and decides that all men are her enemy in this game. In the end she relies solely upon Sakamoto, completely disregarding what little character she had to begin with. It's like if this shows developers wanted to make an even bitchier version of Asuna from SAO- and she probably can't even cook.
Sakamoto- Neet Gamer Cliche. He is this shows equivalent of Sora from No Game No Life, or Kirito from SAO(I should stop comparing...). He's that dude who was a shut-in gamer from one world, who is taken to another world where he is suddenly gifted and actually can contribute something to the world. The only thing about this show is how much of a fucking dumbass this guy is. The dude has to be the absolute densest motherfucker I have ever seen in anime. He is also like a hypocritical spiderman/batman. He says he isn't gonna kill, but then he will, then he tries, then he doesn't... it's just really dumb. There really isn't much to say about him, he's just a cliche of the Guy-who-gets-transported-to-another-world genre which I have seen at least 7 different times.
For the rest of the supporting cast I will just list off my nicknames for them, and once you watch the show you will figure out exactly who they are mearly from the name. We have; Daddy Issues, Everyone's Weird Uncle, The Fonz Wannabe, Basic Bitch, Token Black Guy #1, Token Black Guy #2, Papa Bear, Obvious Bad Guy, and Female Jack Skellington.
Story:4
Like I said, it starts off pretty much like Konosuba(SAO, No Game No Life, ReZero.... is there an actual name for this kind of story?) Where the dude gets taken to another world that turns his life upside down. I would like to say that at least 20% of the story is due to some of the characters own stupidity, but I will let you decide that for yourself. The story really is nothing special, except for one thing- It doesn't have an ending. I watched 12 episodes for some kind of closure, and all I got was cock-blocked and disappointed that I had wasted 3 hours of my day. It was at this point that I decided to write this review. The ending(or lack-thereof) alone is why you have this garbage review to read.
Animation:5
I would say it was somewhere between meh, and OK. It's really nothing special in my opinion. I have certainly seen better, but I have also seen a lot worse.
Sound: Same as the Animation, nothing really special about it. I'm not a sound geek, so I'm not really picky.
My Personal Enjoyment: 1
I kept on waiting for something that I hadn't seen before, and I didn't get anything. The story is as cliche as the characters. That being said, the best way i can describe is if Michael Bay had an autistic baby with Reki Kawahara.
There was absolutely nothing about the show I can say I enjoyed.
