Aside from the whole butt thing, there's definitely a lot of overlap with Penguindrum - abstract stick figures representing people, a couple of iconic symbols being present everywhere (penguins/kappas and the "desire" marsupial in the hearts), highly stylized transformation sequence, weird behaviors that get put in an entirely unexpected light right at the end, etc. Since I liked Penguindrum, I am definitely down for this, but I hope this show develops its own distinct identity somewhere down the line. Wouldn't want to see Ikuhara get stuck in a rut.

Show is good, but I am not sure how I feel about having the transformation and fight sequences in this episode basically be on fast-forward. I understand that they have a limited runtime and, especially with only 11 episodes, every second counts but it still feels a bit odd to have the show's signature sequences treated like a disposable routine this early on. On the other hand, if this is what it takes to have that cops musical number, I am ready to take that sacrifice. Unrelatedly, the stinger really reminded me of the ending to episode one of Penguindrum.

Mister Olympus posted:Sarazanmai: I Want To Connect, But I Have No Idea What Is Happening Here Idk, this seems pretty straightforward so far, at least compared to most other Ikuhara stuff.

Whoever voices Kazuki did an especially stellar job this episode. I got literal tears in my eyes when he was breaking down at the end.

Holy hell, episode 10 was even better than I expected. This show owns.

Holy hell, this final episode. That might be the best Ikuhara finale since Utena, and I am saying this as someone that liked Penguindrum's bittersweet ending. Also, LMAO at "I am an abstract concept". Thanks Otter, wouldn't have figured that one out in a million years. AFancyQuestionMark fucked around with this message at 10:36 on Jun 21, 2019 |
