Hai to Gensou no Grimgar: Furoagari no Kabe ni Kaketa Seishun - One More Centimeter

10/10, 100/100, 1000/1000.
Its just episode 2.5, it doesn't contribute to the main story, its not something that teaches a lesson, its not about the struggle of overcoming your flaws or becoming closer to the people you care for.

This is about heart. not love, not friendship or kindness, but of the heart of a true man. It is a story of the yearning of the soul, for what can never be attained, a story of the struggle of men, and doing what must be done. It isn't about winning or losing, nothing so juvenile. It is about doing what is right, and staying true to ... yourself. Those who cant understand the beauty of these eleven minutes, simply can not comprehend the heart of a true man.

So I watched the original series a few years ago and dropped it midway. I recently decided to rewatch it and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't as bad as I remembered it (it's just that the middle got a little lost). On the same day that I finished it, I decided to watch this special and as you can tell from my score, I was not impressed.


[Why?]

As a girl, it's hard for me to fully understand this trope in anime for guys to be obsessed with girls breasts and creeping around to see them naked. I won't lie, moments of this special were amusing, ... yet I felt like this was the one part of the series that I was happy we moved passed and am mildly irritated that they decided to put emphasis onto it in a special. I was looking forward to a little more character development, but I guess I'll have to go read the manga for that.


[Overall? or TLDR]
Disappointing, probably hilarious to you if you are a Japanese guy.

Not even worth a watch, doesn't brings anything new to the story or even character development, well besides making the male cast look more immature and juvenile. Weird and awkward dialogues doesn't make it easier to watch and they're painful to go through.

Animation is average and nothing special, but what can you expect from something that it's only 11 minutes long?

As for the music, well it's annoying and unbearable to listen to and the whole idea for it it's just pathetic and stupid. A very poor attempt to show series in a new light and make it funny.

A prime example of an animated garbage and ... waste of time, avoid by any cost, there are far better special's out there for far better series that offers more enjoyment.
