I forgot his name, Edgeward McEdgelord probably, but just call him Kirito for short, drops in and takes on the thugs with: f—-ing crowbars. CROWBARS. And this wasn’t just a typical beat-up-the-baddies fight with some bloody noses and wounded pride- it was an all out Mafia hitman style massacre, and I was like WATF?!?
A crowbar descending with a skull-crushing sound is brutal- and once would have obviously done the job; but he smashes the guys head like FIFTEEN TIMES.
Bruh. Think you made yer point.
The story closes solemnly with the image of truck-kun (who also stars in this episode), but then it randomly cuts to a bunch of cute girls with elf ears (one of them is inexplicably a Neko) with Kirito crying out that he wants to DO STUFF and GET STRONGER! And I never felt more confused in my life. But then he says “I’m gonna get stronger!” several more times, and the credits roll- and confusion turned into laughter.
By the time the second episode got started it was clear that a harem was quickly being built around might-as-well-be-Kirito, but then out of nowhere Alexander Hamilton is beating up a girl who’s tied up, and all hell breaks loose!
Just wait til you see the ‘flashback’ scene in episode 3. It’s the most jawdropping unintentionally hilarious thing I’ve ever seen.
Look, I’m sure there are 13 year olds out there who can write brilliant stuff, and somehow there’s some hidden genius buried in here somewhere that I’m just not seeing….
But it’s not fair to judge this show on a numeric scale for being good or bad. Whoever made it clearly is not bothered by such ideas, and those who enjoy stuff like this are not watching it for clever writing or witty social commentary. But I will say that if you really just want to be entertained by trash, there’s even better trash out there. Like Redo of Healer comes to mind- if you just want something with so much edge it cuts your eyeballs as you watch it. This? It’s just kind of silly and not especially interesting and doesn’t make enough sense to hold my attention. After laughing and scratching my head through 3 episodes, I’m kind of done with it.
