Majestic Prince #02 — Oh No! We’re Not Being Shot At!

April 11th, 2013

 

Gasp! This is even worse than being shot at!

Impressions:

So after the worst soldiers effortlessly defeated the massive swarm of what’s-its with zero training, it’s time to… paint their mechs with corporate slogans and play with satellites balls. And next week is a swimsuit episode? Boy, did this ever take a running start straight into the full faceplant. Well, I guess it was more of a stumble into the faceplant. The writing remains as awful as ever, and without any particularly good CG space fighting to back it up this week or even anything bloody at all happening for the first 18 minutes or so… Well, at least the chirpy girl had a lot less focus.

I think my ‘favorite’ part was how when the enemy showed up, they decided that the first thing they’d do would be to some fancy formation flying and pretend to shoot them. Yes, I get that you thought up some ‘cool’ situation where all the technobabble about this Julia nonsense supposedly doesn’t apply, but it’s all patently ridiculous. Especially when the enemies took about a two minute time out to let them try and fail to do their merging thing (because all giant robots can be smashed together to create a better one). By the time they got that done, the enemy finally got around to shooting the balls. So if you haven’t been paying attention, the enemy showed up, flew in circles while the protagonists panicked over NOT being shot at, blew up some unimportant widgets, and then flew away. Stellar work. You’ve really earned that pool episode.

Next Episode:

 

Swimsuits.

    Dude, somebody please kills that annoying pink bitch who tries to be moe by acting clumsy.

    Of all people to choose, they have to pick the worst bunch in that academy… Wtf is wrong with the people in this anime?

    That pink bitch was one of the most annoying girls I’ve ever seen, not to say that the rest was not goddawful: A faggot who gets cramp every 5 min like he’s on his period, another faggot who thinks he’s a fucking “hero”, and a bespectacled perv monkey who happens to be an attention whore, on top of being a nerd. Surprisingly the most decent character is the analyst bitch who actually has some decency to keep her mouth shut.

    This POS even makes Gundam 00 a pleasure to watch just to let you know how awful it is.
