Neo-Angelique Abyss #01 — THESE ARE MY BISHIES
April 7th, 2008
GET YOUR OWN, YOU LEECHES.
Impressions:
Holy sweet mother of Thor, this was actually pretty decent. Above and beyond that, watching this expecting some kind of horrible shoujo drek became a trascendent experience. Aside from starting off with a bunch of bishies fighting tanks, there is so much stuff to talk about that I don’t even know where to start. Let’s hit some of the highlights of the episode.
- Rayne, the redhead gun using bishie with the faaaabulous highlights, is a Heartless. No argument. His vest is so covered in the Heartless emblems.
- The next bishie (too busy laughing to pay much attention to names) uses a whip and wears a monocle. A monocle.
- They fight a tentacle monster which shrivels up girls and looks exactly like a giant Oddish. Or maybe a headless Bulbasaur.
- This cat that Angelique comes up has the sickest meow sound that you can imagine. I think it has throat cancer… which is okay because…
- At the end of the episode, the cat explodes, sending light up into the air, creating an aurora borealis and letting all the other bishies know that it’s started.
- A freakin’ monocle!
- During the next-episode preview… the background music was a polka.
- Oh yeah, and they fight more tentacle monsters next week.
I don’t even know what else to say. This show had me in stitches throughout though I’m pretty sure it wasn’t meant to. This was nowhere near what I was expecting at all. It’s obviously full of pretty boys and not too much/any fanservice, but man… pretty boys fighting pokemon tentacle monsters? Who called that one?
I’m in no state to say a single objective thing about this show. I had probably more fun with this episode than I had with anything else just chatting with friends about the craziness that was going on. The episode was just a trip and a half. If anything, you might call it similar to Kyoshiro to Toya no Sora in general premise, albeit without the lesbians (YET!) fanservice (more like manservice… *swoons over Rayne*) and far better production values all around. Man, is all shoujo like this? Have I been missing out? What else haven’t you people been telling me!?
