King of God #04 — Goooody

January 26th, 2014

 

What kind of name for a store is that?

Impressions:

An episode of two parts basically, loosely tied together by the quasi theme of “having a girlfriend” and “angry father figures,” but being more strongly tied together by the director having a little drug-fueled naptime. Yato’s pseudo-girlfriend apparent pops up, acts cutesy, gives them cutesy nicknames, and… uh… that’s kind of about the sum and total of it. I suppose it was to set up the… twist? resolution? whatever for the end of the second half, but that was way too much time for something far too obvious to begin with and just plain mundane.

Someone should try counting the number of stories that they show them falling down, or calculate the height of the building based on the speed of a human’s terminal velocity after eight bloody minutes falling. I’m pretty sure the math puts the top of the building in the mesosphere. Also, wondering about the math is more interesting than the flashback/expositionfest explaining why he was saaaaaaaad. The only job the main characters had this week was to sit there fall and listen. For the entire episode really. Although the last two minutes of the episode was more interesting than the rest of it combined, although I’m sure it’ll disappoint me by doing nothing with it.

Next Episode:

Blondes

    This show certainly needs Yato killing people for money (5 yen! cheapest assassin ever).
