天下制覇

  

Apparently I was wrong and it is indeed meant to be Glass Lip after all. Why? No idea.

Impressions:

My first thought as this started with a zoom out of a bay and then started panning over people going about their regular lives was “Wow! Bold new ground, PA Works!” But then the panning then continued for another two minutes. After that, the OP played, which was a montage of people going about their daily lives. After that, was a montage of kids at a festival watching fireworks. This show began with six goddamned minutes of montages. It wasn’t until four minutes in that there was even a line spoken at all that wasn’t an ooh or aah at the wonderment of normal life. And then one of them declared that they’d be friends forever. About two minutes later, there was another goddamned montage.

To say that this show does not intrigue, interest, or excite would be like saying that Pol Pot had some funny ideas about management. There are hardly even characters here. There are some reused designs that it pans over a few more times than others, or who it slaps nameplates on at the very start, but none of them actually do jack or even have jack happen to them. It picks up marginally in the second half, but by the first ten minutes which were about 70% goddamned montages, all hope was dead and buried. And this is counting talking about how wild chickens aren’t in cages and then taking them home as “picks up.“ Christ. More happens in the title sequence of goddamned Lassie than this managed across 22 minutes.

What’s the deal, Japan? Did your writers only turn in 1/4 of a script? Are you trying to get away with seeing how much of a show can be just generic shots of a city? What are you doing? Why can nobody in your country draw a goddamned slope!?
