Hey, look, it’s the first show of the new season I’ve seen that sucks. And it’s from Gonzo! I didn’t see that coming!
EMO EMO EMO I’M SUCH A LOSER NOBODY LIKES ME LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
There were so many ways for this to go wrong and the show somehow managed to accomplish over 80% of them. Let’s see, the main character is HORRIBLE. He’s a complete wimp at the start of the episode who won’t stop whining about how he doesn’t need anyone’s help. After he just got his pride handed to him by bullies, btw. He also hates his two (I could assume “only”, so I will) friends and pushes them away like a petulant brat when they try to help him. Then he whines about how he’s just waiting for his real power as an “ally of justice” to appear because it’s secretly been within him all along, and rather than the show being about how he finds his own power, or realises that he himself must stand up for what he wants to protect/fight for/ generic shounen message, it’s literally handed to him. Or I should say, falls on top of him. Either way the moral of this story is: If you’re a complete loser, go away and mope for a while and you’ll get huge mecha to kick everybody’s asses who’s better stronger than you. Great power comes if you do absolutely nothing! He’s fighting a person in his giant CG robot and says “If you stand against me, you are evil”. Arrogant, self-righteous bastard.
HEY HEY HEY LOOK AT ME I HAVE POWER YOU SUCK I RULE FUCK YEAH!!!
The animation was crappy too. Inconsistent character designs, which weren’t picture perfect in the first place and just everything looking generally deformed. It’s the worst I’ve seen in quite some time. Hell, I feel that H20 ~Footprints In The Sand~ looked better than this and that show was hard to look at at times. The music was okay until I got my hopes up it was going to collapse like everything else in the show, and it was at that point it became TERRIBLE. When the main character summoned his Barrel of Monkeys Linebarrel (through boob-grabbing action), they had some sort of weird techno tune that sounded like it came from the boss battle of a Sega Genesis/Super Nintendo game, with some U.F.O sounds thrown in for good measure. That plus the molestation activation left me laughing my ass off. Voice-acting was mediocre at best and the subtitles, courtesy of Gonzo’s new initiative, weren’t up to par either. I don’t know Japanese but I do know that “NICE na tenkai ja nai ka?” can’t just translate to “Nice!”. It’s like even the people subbing the series knew it wasn’t worth their time.
Girl: I think I might’ve made the wrong choice here…
It’s so disappointing. With series like The Tower Of Druaga, Strike Witches and Blassreiter (which were by no means perfect but all had their charm) Gonzo was starting to slowly regain some of my faith in them (as with Psgels). Then they come out with… THIS and Rosario + Vampire Capu2 (don’t think I’m going to watch that trash). Ugh, it’s so bad it’s laughable. But then I think about the future of Gonzo, even if they were bailed out, and I’m not laughing anymore. Or, considering how horrible this show is, maybe I am.
INot blogging, not watching, imploring anyone to AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Do I really need to say it?
Wow, yeah, the animation looks like it’s twenty years late. Coming from Gonzo that’s a shock. At least Rosario To Vampire looks moderately good…
needs moar magical boobies…
I suspect GONZO is running out of ideas and/or manpower, because only Tower of Druaga managed to make its way out in one piece. Strike Witches was marred by unneccessary panty service, and Blassreiter had a bizarre fascination with dumping too many characters into the mix and killing them left, right and centre afterwards.
Haha, the manga wasn’t as horrible as this crap though!
This show is crappy as hell… But at least Rosario to Vampire CAPU2 has a good OP sequence…
Just looking at the screens and your ‘synopsis’ is enough for me to stay away…>_>
@Korasoff
I shall purify myself after seeing the words Rosario+Vampire on the same page twice.
@EvilDevil
Or…not.
@revolemania
Completely true. Hopefully, they’ll sucessflly conclude the Tower of Druaga story and bring back some of their annihilated fanbase.
@blissmo
Nothing could be as crap as this.
@kanzeon
I must kill myself after seeng the words Rosario + Vampire mentioned three times on the same page.
@53RG10
Good. Never watch this show. You’ll thank me.
Lol… Sorry for typing the words Rosario to Vampire ^_^…
Oops I just typed Rosario to Vampire again XP…
Oops… *runs away for my life*
