Never heard of a lich turning people into zombies by biting then, and being turned undead by being bitten.

is it the part where people turn into zombies when she bites them, or her lack of a phylactery, that makes her more of a lich?

Re:Creators confirmed to be killing characters off now. Considering I specifically said a few eps in "this is kinda neat, but I hope these characters don't start dying off," that's probably a drop for me. Alas.

As long as it doesn't devolve into guilty crown bullshit, it should be fine.

Yeah, I'm out too. I've been waiting for the show to become what I wanted it to be based on the first two episodes, but it's more than a third of the way through now and the show is what it is. Which is bad.

It was bad 5 weeks ago when they decided to dedicate like 3 episodes to flatly delivered exposition. At this point I think I'm watching just to see what the weird shark teeth lady does next.

Lots of people on my twitter feed seem to love sharkteeth, but fuuuuuck I couldn't stand her. She's not even doing that much actual evil poo poo, more just standing around and invincibly mocking everyone when bad things happen.

She's a villain who spends every moment hamming it up and actually trying to instigate conflict between the characters, unlike Altair who has spent 90% of her time off camera I guess?

I was expecting it to be about the characters interacting with the real world, their realization that they're fictional, how their fictional origin clashed with the real world, stuff like that. Like in the second episode when the magical girl immediately gets in a fight because she doesn't have a frame of reference for some being opposed to her not being a villain. That was great.

That she has precisely one dimension, doesn't feel as smart to me as the show seems to want me to think that she is, and isn't really a very clear or interesting foil to any of the characters I actually like or want to root for. The show as a whole is falling to the trap where most of the conflict is arising from characters making and clinging to dubious assumptions for dear life - which would be more forgivable if the show hadn't just established that this can and will get characters I like killed.

I haven't seen this week of recreators yet, since I am away from home, but I have been enjoying the show as well. Protagonist is a tad frustrating in his reticence to tell everyone else what he knows, but it's got interesting fights and interesting characters with interesting motives, and that's most of what I could possibly ask of it.

Like I said a couple pages back, the show will be completely redeemed for me if Mecchin is an antagonist who has been manipulating the party this whole time.
