天下制覇

Eh. Better late than never.

Impressions:

I half meant to post this last night, but after getting home close to 1am after 9ish hours in planes/airports, sleep won that struggle. I don’t think I’m going to continue with it anyway. I think it’s just a collection of all the little things that are bothering me about it. A lot of it certainly is that it’s bouncing around spastically and without being familiar with the games already and next to no narrative structure here to speak of, it comes across as collection of dijointed scenes. It was godawful with the fights this week, even while they were animated quite a bit better than last week’s. It kept cutting away at tense moments for dramatic effect, and when it came back (if it came back), it was like nothing happened at all. The Hakumen fight was apparently important enough to be the focus of the first five minutes, not to mention the cliffhanger from last week, but not important enough to warrant more than a DBZ-esque grunt of power that led to it ending off screen? Uh… Okay?
