The Asterisk War #02 — Director Is Stoned, Please Ignore Holes

October 10th, 2015

 

It's a stealth grenade launcher.

I should be able to get to Seraph before some short morning obligations, but it's being slow to… acquire… in an easily cappable form at the moment. The episode is bad anyway, just a dull reintroduction to the characters (coming off a recap episode last week at that), with a couple 'fight' scenes that were just some posing or running before a monster got one-shot.

Impressions:

Well, this was hideous, and it'd take a pretty damn poor showing from the rest of the day's stuff for me to continue onward. Where'd all that action and animation in the promos go? This episode was clearly meant to be the introduction to another haremette. This one's personality was "has no personality." My favorite moment with her was when she 'surprised' an assassin with a magic grenade. So she must've been hiding, or firing from out of sight, right? No. She was standing right next to the girl he was looking at in a wide open space, holding a grenade launcher the size of a Toyota Prius. Oh, and when it fires, it explodes itself in an eruption of light and smoke. Except for the first time. Christ, guys. And then, the exciting conclusion to the episode? The beefcake guy's grunting only produced about a 30 on the power level scale for the random weapon of darkness, but the hero produced about a 97! Wow! That's like, three times more power level! And it chose him while he had visions of metaphysical chains! You can't get this kind of fantastic unique writing anywhere but light novels!

    Well this was a disaster.

    Remember how someone tried to kill Red hair during her fight with the MC last week that was promptly dropped? This week, the assassins decide to show themselves in broad daylight to try to kill Red hair again only to get promptly dropped after Blue hair blows up a water fountain. Why try to capture the people who tried to kill you on two different occasions while you are kicking their ass when you can just not for no particular reason? Gotta let them ineffectively attack again in the future I guess.

    Yea I’m about done with this show.

    Blue hair girl sucked hard. I am however more impressed to how red hair girl personality (as tiny as it was) is gone in 1 episode and replaced by this brain dead retard.

    At least blondie looks scheming but she can not save this disaster, is time to move on there is nothing else to watch here.
