Good god almost every character in this series has devolved into a complete retard. Ein's character makes absolutely no sense, her brain works differently in every episode and diving in front of Scythe was so fucking stupid I'm still not over it. Reiji has become a brainless idiot who can only say the word Cal instead of fucking explaining things, and somehow still loves Ein after all the absolutely stupid contradictory shit she's done. Cal's must have an IQ of about 5 to not be able to arrive at the conclusion that Reiji thought she was dead after the house that she was living in FUCKING EXPLODED. Reiji is a retard for not checking the house for a body, or waiting around to see if Cal was out. Cal's personality at this point has developed like she never even met Reiji and was just picked up by Inferno after whats-her-face's death, with all her hatred. Yet another example of having an arc that develops a character for 10 episodes only to have her completely revert to stage 1 at the end. Clo was somewhat intelligent, but she's now dead, and Lizzie is pretty much the only somewhat sane person left. Everyone is talking about Cal being a badass, but shes just acting like a braindead spoiled kid.
They had two opportunities for a nice fight scene is this episode, first with Eren and Cal, which they made last all of 2 seconds, and then with Cal and the thugs, which decided not to animate, just show a black screen, and then have Cal throw one punch and knock three people over. The laziness stupidity is suffocating.
They do manage to create some interesting scenerios, but the means to which they arrive at them are always so contradictory to the characters and nonsensical that all of their impact is taken away. I'm so close to the end now that i will finish it just to know how it ends, but i wish i would have dropped it after episode 10. It kept me with the hope that it would get better all the way through, but it never did. It's hard to believe that this is a Gen Urobuchi show.
noturai said: Are you fucking kidding me....? This anime was about an 8, close to a 9 up until episode 20. Now it's a 7 because the characters are all acting stupid.
Cal sure has abandonment issues doesn't she? Oh no he left me for another woman. Can't you think and see that he thought you were dead? Still Reiji was an idiot for thinking she died, he didn't even check to see if she was still alive. She knows Reiji was trying to protect her he pretty much lied to Inferno, kept them from knowing she stole the money and put his life on the line and she says he tried to protect himself? How did she even come to that conclusion? He could have just let Inferno kill her and things would be over. What a stupid so-called genius. Oh my fucking god she's so fucking stupid it's inconceivable, the writers are just fucking with me now, this makes me rage so hard.
Everytime Reiji sees Cal now the only thing he seems to be able to say is her name. I fucking hate it when anime characters are like that. Speak up you idiot and tell her that you thought she was dead. Also, doesn't Reiji understand that Cal is out for revenge? Is he that hardheaded? Does he still think she's doing it because of Inferno? I hope not.
Almost every issue in anime exists because there is a misunderstanding between the characters and they are too idiotic to conversate, they just jump to conclusions and cause unneeded drama. I sure hope this anime redeems itself in the last few episodes.
At this point I'm hoping Scythe kills Ein, Zwei and Drei and just pisses over their dead bodies. Not really but stil....
Sigh.... Maybe I'm just nitpicking.
These are pretty much my thoughts as well, except that all of the characters started acting stupid at the ending of the first arc, and never stopped. Was close to a 9 at episode 9, been dropping ever since, and it's a hell of a lot lower than a 7 now. |
