Man, I really hate the milquetoast protagonist of this show, so it's probably for the best that he's got fewer lines than most side characters so far. Why on earth is he keeping MUP's identity a secret again?

Hey man, at least "Blitz" suggests speed.

Darth Walrus posted:They've at least explained what his deal is - he's unhelpful to the heroes, but mostly because he's a giant blob of PTSD who's pretty sure he helped drive his friend/girlfriend to suicide, and can't admit his connection to Altair because it would involve admitting to the awful poo poo he believes he's responsible for. He's basically a somewhat sympathetic minor antagonist at this point. Ah yes, a child and an adult, what a cute couple.

I'll just come out and say it; this show is way to self-serious for something as inherently wacky as "anime/video game characters invade the real world." Cliche as it is, there been almost no strangers in a strange land moments, most everyone adapted to modern Japanese society quickly and easily, and eight episodes in there have only been three real, brief fights. It's all po-faced speeches about reality breaking down and "no, I hate this rotten world, DAD!"

Darth Walrus posted:Maybe they're referring to the ongoing debate about how Attack on Titan wants us to feel about its use of fascist imagery? I never understood the argument that AOT was pro-fascist, especially considering the way the latest season literally humanizes the enemy.

All they needed to do was make a meta, genre-mashup, Fate ripoff but instead we get a show featuring both the most passive protagonist of all time, and the most passive villain too.

Kyte posted:That aside, I feel like a lot of people here are trying to get from this anime something it's not trying to be. Yes, it definitely gave off the vibe it was meant to be more action oriented, but if 15 episodes didn't disabuse you of that notion shouldn't the problem be in you? Cool, too bad it's not plot, character, or comedy-oriented either, it just shows flashes of those things.

RIP Aliceteria. Who would have thought, the world's biggest jobber continued to job to the very end. Oh, also Selesia, I dunno, she was cool at first but then she pretty much stopped being a character at around the midway mark.
