Who lets these naive children go for what they think is a fun adventure in the most dangerous place possible? I just can't get past that part and it was too hard for me to suspend my disbelief constantly as required to go along with this plot. Multiple adults could and should have stopped them because, you know, they are 12 and still view the world through disney lenses. Riko is a moron. She makes dumb decision after dumb decision constantly putting her defenseless-self in danger. She'll smell something or see a pretty color and go charging off straight at it without a care in the world despite the numerous times she almost got herself killed doing just that. Meanwhile Reg seems fine letting her wander off on her whimsical flights of fancy while he stays motionless getting lost in his own thoughts. This formula manufactures all of the peril. While it does wind up going how you might think it would eventually, they get lucky far too many times. Nevermind that whole purpose for it is because stupid Riko has convinced herself she has to go save her badass mom ASAP immediately for some reason even though the note clearly says she can wait. Headaches and facepalms abound.
It's too bad because I was fascinated by the world they built and I wanted to learn more about it but they just give you a general idea of how things work before getting to the task at hand. They also needed more Kiwi. He's chill af.
Ignore the sheep giving it tens because they read the manga. Don't waste your time on this one.
