Words cannot describe my hatred of this show. It has a sinister way of of pulling you in with promises of the kind of animation and world-building that you saw in Season 1, and tricks you into watching a garbage self-insert wish fulfillment fantasy full of malicious intent. What is the intent you ask? The intent is visible every time the musical score rises to make you feel things for the detestable MC, it is visible every time yet another small crying girl is animated in suspiciously ridiculous level of detail. It is visible every time it desecrates god-made sunsets, sunrises, mountains and deserts by animating it and attaching it to scenes of what it thinks should evoke in the viewer feelings of hope, longing, growth, adventure etc. The malicious intent is apparent every single time you are inadvertently pulled out of your unwilling suspension of disbelief and reminded that the story primarily depends on the action of a person most people would personally bully/murder/mutilate if they ever met someone like that in real life.
It takes a LOT of intelligence and hard work to animate beautifully, not just money, or even the UAE or Switzerland would have a world-class animation industry. It takes even more creative vision to create worlds that make you want to explore them in detail and figure out their hidden quirks and intricacies. This entire anime series is the equivalent of a Ponzi Scheme. You invest more and more of yourself after seeing season 1, because you keep telling yourself, "Hey, I can get past the fact that they are trying to normalize evil behavior the same way Sweet Baby Inc does in gaming, but I can move past that and appreciate the care that went into the other aspects of the show". But you would be mistaken, there is no grain here to be separated from the chaff, it is but the concerted effort of an entire studio, a company that, in the pursuit of wealth, has denigrated the beauty of human potential. creativity, and talent to what can be described as an obese dung beetle's wet dream.
Well, let me tell you that this "cour", as many recalcitrant anime nerds that infest this website call it, is just complete and utter garbage. I would go so far as you say that any person who rates this nonsense as peak should be put on a list (a list that the FBI should be privy to). The writing and dialogue is so banal it reminds of you of the banality of evil itself. The animation team was not provided 10% of the budget or time it was afforded in the 1st season. The sound design is alright.
This show is the equivalent of a CIA Psyop. It will literally rot your brain as it reprograms you to think that literally any kind of person deserves to and is capable of "growing" and "maturing". People like the MC in this show only deserve one thing in this world - to face the wall blindfolded, or to be taken on a Chilean helicopter ride.
