Late to the party, but ...
The worst show I've ever seen. With a Square Enix branding on it - I'm surprised they haven't pulled it from every network offering it and removed it from the annals of history; That's how bad this anime was. Absolutely cringe from start to finish.
The main character was an immature crybaby that simply made nothing but childish whimsical wails of garbage from start to finish. Enough plot presented to the characters that they're all just truly mentally challenged for not having prevented half of the pointless killings offs and repeated back and forth. The play on the whole "I refuse to do anything sensible because of my past" (mind you that we find out later on he couldn't even remember). The sheer nonsensical social beating he was given that honestly just cringe it was so misplaced an unrealistic. It took the first 3 episodes to get beyond simple screaming of names and "please just stop" before we finally got to any progression whatsoever. A whole lot of "we'll talk later" when it was clearly unrealistic not to explain things right away. Forced plot, forced devices, immature, immature, immature.
Bad writing. Period. But wait, I'm not done ranting...
Seriously, you are told that the lord of vermillion will usher in a new world - but to do so you must kill everyone and be the last one standing? You didn't realize you were a bad guy?
The other side, seriously, you're murdering innocent people to attack the people who are justifying killing everyone to be the last one standing for the sake of the future with your sensless murdering that will seemingly simply never cease; Meanwhile, your boss is planning to ultimately do the same thing they are doing, but only they are doing it because of what you are doing. You didn't realize you were the bad guy? Your boyfriend is on the side doing what he's doing because of what you're doing - you want to be with him? So you fight him? You want to save him and stop him from dying - so you're trying to kill him? "It's all your mother's fault." you tell him? Care to elaborate? Before everyone dies?
Guardians - seem to know the truth about the whole situation, including that these people are clueless, were assaulted by scouts the moment they woke up, and so are innocently following blindly; Care to elaborate?
Now at the end, we have pointless stupidity all over again. Main dies, so the girlfriend will live? You mean with bad guys still alive and kicking, now she's alone and likely to die - and she would have rather died with you than gotten killed mercilessly and alone. Real smart there buddy boy.
Meanwhile, wait, what was the point of all this?
Oh and wow...chiyu... you refuse to be the pawn of the man manipulating you; But because you're also half of the mother of the person in the group you were hurting, you're going to continue hurting them?
Don't get me started on Dux. She's the villain, but also the good guy, oh but also simply the observer who doesn't care how things turn out she'll just keep watching the theather over and over as it repeats time and again.
I think we were supposed to gather that this time, he sacrificed himself to save those who managed to survive, so the curtain is not being raised again by him at the very least; However, it doesn't mean that Yuri won't raise it again, or another character.
After all, there's the Dux equivalent for the Chaos side, the dude that we saw several times, and again at the end confronting guardian members; Who never got his death, nor claimed his win - followed by the "the end" that clearly tells us that the story wasn't over yet.
Jeeze, I mean I'd have to go on for an hour or two to really put a proper paraphrasing of all the stupidity together in a way that makes sense and truly shows just how immature and cringe this story was - it was a neat idea, but they failed horribly.
I might have done a better job ranting, than they did on the show; And that's being generous to them. |
