Tong Zhi Zhe

I have got my mind wrapped around writing a review about this Chinese obscurity ever since I've watched it a week ago, since this ONA has been enrolled into the database under some rather misleading tags, probably that's not just my opinion.

*Some spoilers ahead in case that anyone cares*

Freshly finished, yet not much of it remained in my memory, even the remnants feel like a fever dream; perhaps because my brain refused to acknowledge the fact that I would watch 100 full minutes of a show that starts out with a panty stealing assailant that smears ladies' ... window with ketchup , all of this attempting to be a horror setting. It would be indeed sort of unsettling if your favorite pair of undies would go missing and your window would be tainted by tomato sauce, but worry not! We have the competent Zhang Dabao on duty, as the synopsis proudly informs us, he is the protagonist and he can solve any job whether or not he has any qualifications, he's the 'Jack of All Trades ' and that makes him more cut out for catching the assailant than an entrie police district. So this mockery of a plot doesn't end here, we need 3 episodes for such a delicate case to be solved. Have I mentioned that the assailant is protecting his identity by wearing his victims pantsu? Nothing really surprising at this point, I know. The very competent Zhang Dabao decides to guard the victim lady's apartment from the outside, but he's knocked out within the first 5 minutes or so and the girl is kidnapped and this is supposed to be a cliffhanger. The panty maniac, in case you haven't figured out until now isn't a gentleman at all and drags the poor girl into the freaking sewer as if the situation wasn't stinky enough. The almighty Zhang Dabao locates the assailant just in time, before he gets to drill the girl, drill like.. for real with the sharp rotating tool, no innuendo intended. The assailant is arrested by the police finally and then we get to know his pathetic reason for assaulting women, ready to hear it ?

He was being bullied for wearing his mom's freaking bra in adolescence.


I think this pretty much sums up the quality in terms of story and characters, getting to the other sections.
The animation is pretty standard for Chinese productions, nothing really stands out, it fulfills its role into portraying what's happening good enough, this kind of production doesn't deserve outstanding graphics anyways, it would be frustrating if it would manage to obtain a budget to make for great visuals. It gets a 7/10 in this department.
Sound wise I cannot pronounce myself too concretely since I am not in the posture to judge Chinese voice acting, not accustomed to it, as for the soundtracks and themes, they were suitable, but nothing particularly memorable that I would find myself returning to. 6/10

In conclusion, you can watch this whether out of sheer curiousity or on a masochistic whim or can stay the hell away from it because you got nothing truly good to lose.
My verdict overall would be 4.5/10 cause it was laughable at times and got me mildly intrigued in what's going to happen next, at the very ending it was given a hint for a season 2, but I doubt it will be produced given the weak reception it has got.
