The Aesthetics of an Antihero #02 — Pee Buddies

July 12th, 2012

 

So much for hope for AT-X Night with Porn Directors.

Speaking of BABEL, yes I know about the new ZKC project. I’m playing it safe and assuming it’ll just be another OVA instead of a full series of them as teens fighting the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.

Impressions:

And a big step downward on this one too. Most of it was concerned with the introduction of other BABEL students, the class president/hobbit whose name I already can’t remember, Izumi the unabashed aggressive lesbian, and the rest of the elementally themed stooges. Akatsuki did his underwear stealing thing to the wind one and… uh… that’s about the sum and total impact that she had on the episode. And the end result of the episode was just Izumi and Pres becoming comrades in shame after Akatsuki used a magical bladder strike and/or ear bite to make them all piss themselves together after being locked in a storage closet by a panicky half-naked lesbian.

And… uh… that’s about it, I guess. There was the attempted murder followed by attempted sleep sexing followed by sleep groping at the start, but that’s not particularly notable or special. I guess at least the BABEL parts weren’t quite as boring as they were last week but I’d still rather see him sexually harassing combat maids and elves. At least they don’t look like big boxes with neon-colored wigs. Or at least show Izumi seduce her playthings instead of just cutting right from gym class starting to sex in the back room.

Preview:

Someone hit something.

10 Shouts From the Peanut Gallery

    Two episodes in and the only noteworthy thing this jackass of an MC has ever done was beat up an entire cast of another franchise. And sadly enough, that promo was far more entertaining than the actual show itself.

    I want this show to bomb hard. Dragon Crisis hard.

      I don’t watch it but it looks like he managed to do more than any other MC so far.

      @Freeter
      Preach on bro/sis!
      Unfortunately, this trash heap was made by the same people that made QB rebellion (thus that awful promo). Except this anime makes one mistake: unlike rebellion, it includes a MC.

      • Gorilla13 says:

        Huh? What? So you want every single anime with only females?Go watch some hentai if you’re that horny cuz there are people out there who enjoy watching anime with a plot rather than 23 min of T&A or full of females doing nothing but showing how cute they are.

        At least in this show, the guy shows that he’s a man instead of those beta phaggots who’re willing to lick the girls’ boot just to get a whiff of their panties, or get butthurt when their beloved girls getting owned by a guy. That’s just pathetic man. There are gazillions of hentai manga/anime/doujinshi out there so go fap to those and leave us who enjoy watching a decent MC alone.

          Yurtard from /v/, this is what happens when you write about Yuri series, they will find you.

      • TOP2NE1 says:

        Lol what’s your problem? That promo was fucking hilarious. If he were in QB, it would be 10x more watchable.

        And did you even read what Freeter said? He/She thought the promo was entertaining. Freeter’s disappointed in this show because of the writing, not because it simply includes a male protagonist.

        Also cowardly/loser protagonists aren’t inherently awful. Yokoshima from Ghost Sweeper Mikami (same author as zkc) was awesome. Ataru from Urusei Yatsura was pretty likeable too. The problem with most of today’s series is that they can’t fucking write for shit. Which means even “badass” MC’s like this might still turn out terrible/boring due to the writing.

        But I dunno, I haven’t even watched the show show yet. Maybe he really is boring. On the other hand, he might turn into something like Rance.

          I don’t know man. After many awful seasons filled with either moe shit all-female shows or with spineless MCs who suck it up regardless of what the girls do to them,this one looks like a freaking gem of the season and I’ll follow it to the end no matter how bad it gets. That shows how desperate I am to see a decent male lead.

          This, Oda Nobunaga, and Sword Art Online have the best MCs who aren’t some effing n00bs, at least from the first ep, compared to the likes of Campione (noob who’s awkward around vajayjay), Dakara Boku Wa (another bland guy with nothing but ero this, ero that yet doesn’t have the nerve to stand up against the dudes who talked shit to him), Koi to Senkyo & not Imouto(both generic whiny guy).

          Just watched the 2nd ep subbed and I just love how he KO’d that bully guy. If this were from any other n00b show mentioned above, the MC will get his ass kicked while waiting for some gurl to save his sorry ass, like always =/

  • ark noir says:

    Does it really matter if there’s a Male MC or not as you’ll get your T&A with amazing indepth story and convoluted plot, blockbuster animation and no pairings at the end because 2chan denizens have to spoil everything. Go 2012 anime.

    Seriously MC is only thing interesting in this anime unless you like your girls pink haired.
