Mocking World Destruction 5: A Decent Storyline. Too Bad Kirie Was In It.

Greatest. Expression. EVER.

Well, I have to say I wasn’t expecting writing of any sort of caliber in this show, but this was kind of interesting. I’m a sucker for any references to Ancient Rome, so the Colisseum instantly interested me, though I knew that the true nature of the Colisseum would have either been dumbed down or completely changed so that the only thing remotely similar to the real Colisseum remaining would be the shape of the arena. And sure enough, this is what happened. The gambling factor made no sense; how would you gain money from having your own gladiators lose? Especially when the trend has been that the gladiators always win? In fact, how does he gain money at all? I didn’t see anyone betting on anything before or after the fights.

But, hell, it was still entertaining. Yappi’s story was a marginally interesting one; best character so far in my opinion, especially since he didn’t just have a “tra la la, everything’s fine now” ending. On the other hand, Toppi’s and his entire backstory was glossed over in the space of one flashback shot and some obscure references, so I couldn’t gain any attachment to the character. Oh my god, I think I’m starting to take this series seriously. We can’t have that now, can we? What can I say so I can stick to the title of the post…

Oh yeah, Kirie sucked in this as well. No, wait, he did actually do some, god forbid, fighting. By which I mean he threw some sand in someone’s face. The rest of the time, he was getting his ass kicked/ being protected by Toppi or Morte. Speaking of Morte, what the hell happened to her backstory? We looked at it once in the second episode, and now it’s just disappeared.

Ah well, next time looks like Kirie’s fainting in the desert. Literally, fainting into Morte’s arms. I mean, come on, man, have some level of strength or dignity or ANYTHING.

Ninja Bear.

With the ability to catch fish in a second.

The first of which is YOU, Kirie.

Evil bear is evil.

Definitely you, Kirie. Not Morte though.

Morte kicks ass.

See?

Morte = Awesome Asskickery.

In contrast, we have Kirie, who hides behind her with armor on.

Have you no shame?

I can’t believe he says “bear” in Engrish and Toppi says “kuma”.

What the heck is with this show and odd speech patterns?

Next, we’ll get a dogman saying “inu”.

Kuma trumps Bear any day.

“Easy-going man” is an understatement.

THAT’s more like it.

There a problem with that?

Ninja Bear, here to break you out of prison.

Because I’m a wimp, good sir!

HOLY SHI-!

Ha, this is nothing!

Don’t…

…mess…

…with…

…THE BEAR!

Man. all the names for these beastmen are so creative.

Toppi, Yappi and now Mutton.

Oh, I get it, it’s because she’s a lambwoman, har har.

Seriously, don’t EVAR mess with the bear.

Don’t you people hear me?!

Mess with the bear and you-

Oh, forget it.

GO TOPPI!!!
