I'll probably be criticizing this harshly for screwing over my expectations last week. Last week, I really wanted to be swayed by a incredible anime. Instead, I get a geass clone with a shitty male protagonist who manages to contradict human nature. (surmounted guilt over a girl he's known for over an entire minute).
Meh, well here goes.
Oh hey, he manages to deflect missiles due to sheer luck.
Opening, it's by supercell. It's fine I guess, it'll probably grow on me. Bakemonogatari's ED by supercell is pretty much my favorite ED since it's so fucking thematic with that one episode. This opening is pretty good too, I'll wait till the full version's released.
Hoping that the main lead either grows a pair. or develops common sense halfway into the season.
Is the chick masochistic for blushing from pain? Also what type of technology does something as asinine as collateral damage linking the controller and the mecha itself >.<?
Damn, what a cool kid son. At least he'll spice up this linear development.
Why is the chick's apparel similar to that of a hooker's? Lmao seriously, can't take her seriously.
"Aren't you being a bit mean", incoming cliche fucking speech about how she tried her hardest and how he shouldn't be so mean to her.
Bestowed upon the King's power? What an original concept.
Hear that? we all have hidden power that only needs to be converted into Voids.
"Void technology trespasses into the realm of Gods", then why the fuck does everybody have the hidden potential?
Whoa, what an ultimatum, I don't see how he has to. He could easily refuse, I doubt they'll kill him if he does. I mean, he harnesses the ability to use on of the three voids in fucking existence, they worst they could do is guilt trip him. However, due to his lack of common sense, he'll probably accept it.
Nothing says divine intervention then holding a hundred people hostage.
"So work with all you've got"? What type of fucking weak line of encouragement is that? You portrayed yourself as the guy who prefers results over anything else, and you come up with a line that the retarded guy with no common sense could have said?
"I'll knock out a script" As long as it's better than this one.
Oh hey, he does guilt trip him, how original.
Calling dead mother in about five seconds.
Eight seconds, close enough.
Damn, she survived, there goes my prediction.
"Ugh, this "mommy" crap". Agreed, kill the kid too.
Nothing like taking ten seconds to take aim at point fucking blank.
At least they all died together, I think the kids still alive though, watch out he'll probably avenge their deaths in like ten years.
Also, why is that yellow haired guy dressed like that dumb bitch from Deadman Wonderland?
So wait, you use a invisibility cloak to ambush soldiers. But you don't use a knife? Seems like a douche move.
Nothing says amazing technology then being outsped by a van.
"I'm the leader", Who the fuck does this. How is this strategic at all. All this does is raise your damn ego, now they know who you are and how you look like. Why must "strategists" like him constantly make themselves look like retards.
"Survival of the Fittest", Quoting Darwin it seems, this guy seems to be a wonder of natural selection.
"We continue to offer songs of mourning" Coming from the guy who started the attack after they executed them. What fucking valor and truth in that speech, I'm deeply moved.
"We'll shoot you full of holes", Really? those seem like fucking cannons. How does a cannon make you "full of holes"?
Ambiguous lines and an inspirational speech given by none other than the pseudo-hooker. Deeply moved.
Interesting, how does a kid without common sense master an entirely new mechanic on his second try?
Nothing says peaceful song and a ray of hope like massacring an entire platoon of soldiers. Everyone's smiling too, I can deduce they're all sadistic.
Oh hey, he gained common sense! He didn't risk his life to do shit he didn't need to.
Calling transfer student.
Called it.
"This is a joke...right" Yeah, I think it is. Why the fuck isn't she dressed like a hooker?
That repetitive song is growing on me, starting to like it. I can say that the OST is pretty good on this anime, I'm hoping this improves. I probably nitpicked a lot this week, I guess I don't like being disappointed by pilots.
Oh well, decent episode 3.5/4. I probably would've enjoyed it a lot more if the first episode wasn't so disappointing, or if I didn't nitpick every error possible. Oh well.
I think this is what my teacher calls a stream of consciousness. Sadly, I can't say "TL, DR." |
