That was… an unpleasant moment.

Impressions:

Taking a brief break from joining magic school and assorted manner of sexual violence (if only because the other two shows today had their broadcasts delayed half an hour) to have a visit to Angstville. Seriously, much of the first half is focused on the ennui the protagonist has for regular life, how good he is at video games and how it’s the envy of everybody around him, and how dead various members of his family are. Interspersed with flashbacks of him being a happy child, meeting a magical boy followed by a magical girl, and together, they play with boomerangs. Meanwhile, the antagonists come from the Disco World and dodge missiles by hopping around in neon lights with giant breasts flopping. The tone’s a little inconsistent, is the takeaway point here.

It’s just kind of boring all around though. The star of the show here is supposed to be the extravagantly dressed weirdos having space punchies with giant robots, right? And maybe the women orgasmically moaning, squealing, and flailing their tits around as they ‘pilot’ them. And yet the show only got as far as launching the robot. Most of what ‘happened’ was in the flashbacks and that can be summed up as “kid makes friends with magic/space kids.” Maybe if they had framed them differently or hadn’t begun with them as the recounting of someone who badly needs a slap across the chops, but alas.

I don’t see what the hook here was supposed to be that would keep people watching. There wasn’t any action at all, the plot only got as far as “angsty teen pilots robot,” all the present focus was on characters feeling sorry for themselves, and what I’m sure was meant to be an ‘intriguing’ flashback was almost entirely disconnected from events in the present.

Next Episode:

Maybe someone will hit something.
