天下制覇

Boy, is this protagonist awful.

Impressions:

It did not take long at all for me to begin despising the protagonist. Thanks to exposition from family members, we know that he’s kind, selflessless, and just wants friends, but is bullied for no reason whatsoever! Except maybe being too good at running. There is seriously no other reason given. It’s literally "He is the nicest guy ever, and everyone hates him." I’m guessing that what they decided not to show was him weeping in agony in the middle of the cafeteria over spilling his milk. Or maybe he doesn’t bathe.

What luck then that our Mary Sue would then be transported to a magical world where everyone can realize how super special he truly is. The fantasy world does have a bit more going for it than the laughably godawful beginning, but the production is exceptionally poor, so I hope you love talking heads, because that’s all you’re getting in this tale of super powered people wielding swords of gods. At best, expect some speedlines and awful running animation. I guess if I had to reach for something nice to say, setting aside the abysmal intro and Mary Sue being utterly helpless in both worlds, the story moved at least at a decent clip in the last 15 minutes or so. Presented with all the excitement of spackling a bathroom, sure, but had they put any effort whatsoever into actually animating things or not have had the most blatant insert character I’ve seen in a long while, it could have been interesting enough. Alas.

So, uh, yeah. Mondays are a wreck. Bleh.

Let’s ditch this halfwit and go back to the guy who was at least semi-okay.
