I caught up on this series last night and absolutely loved it… right up until this episode.
It started off well enough, and it still shared one of the greatest strengths of the series - astonishing art. But the resolution of the crisis of the week wasn’t exciting or funny or even particularly interesting. It was just cheesy and forced and unsatisfying.
I do see a glimmer of hope though - with as self-aware and meta as this series has been, it’s possible that that cheesy solution is going to have consequences somewhere down the line - that it’s going to be recognized as an unsatisfying ass-pull in-universe, and have to be fixed or ret-conned or something like that.
Or I guess it’s possible that a series that had been notably good just face-planted for some reason…
What doesn’t a J-POP music video with a bishounen singer solve?
Idk why but this show feels so good after a hard day at work…
Also the hero fell in love…
The resolution this episode felt sort of unearned. It seemed like we were being lead to believe that this A Tale of Perishing was deeper and more complex than the simple movie that existed in the real world, but then the solution to a philosophical disagreement was just a handsome anime boy and a musical number. And normally I’d be all for that, but that fixing Memmeln’s nihilism felt like a cop-out. Though I did still appreciate the handsome anime boy and musical number.
I think I know who the hawk is.
There’s only one other character introduced thus far with that set of eyes. Given how much Hirose is messing up the story, its only natural that the original animation director would make an appearance. She was also food-poisoned in episode#1, meaning Hirose and Original-Animation-director both could have been Isekai’d into this world.
So a bunch of weird old farts, plus their supporters who would blindly follow them, are taking actions that would bring about the end of the world.
Now where have I seen that before.
Bruh ANOTHER Mappa show? Those animators won’t get out of the dungeons for another year atleast 💀
