Braves of the Seven Flowers #06 — Let’s Review It One More Time
August 8th, 2015
 
 
I love repetition and reiteration!
If you skipped the Charlotte post, I have a social event to attend next Saturday morning and won’t be getting to this (or likely Charlotte) until the afternoon. And yes, I did flip through Gatchaman just to make sure. The entire episode was spent kissing babies, going on talk shows, and cutting ribbons to open new malls. I mean it. That’s all. Christ. I remember when the show was about murderous clowns and fighting giant rubix cubes.
Impressions:
After another third of an episode spent on particularly godawful theorycrafting, someone actually did something and I thought to myself, “Finally, where we should have been halfway through the previous episode. Maybe now we can move forward.” Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t 100% tell don’t show. And if the theories weren’t particularly ridiculous. Maybe they broke in, repaved everything, and then waited for someone else to break in! Yeah, I know it’s a setting with magic, but there’s a goddamned limit here.
So what happened instead? He passed out and we spent equal parts of the rest of the episode in flashbacks and sitting around the campfire having more chatsies. Chatsie chatsie chatsie chatsie chatsie. Why do when you can talk? And talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. At least they skipped over the terrible event of the past, although no doubt that’s to come later the next time they find themselves needing to fill five minutes. At least when they don’t want to have Adlet simply shout that he’s the strongest for another few minutes. Again.

The entire time I watched this episode I was thinking, “are these guys idiots?”
Seriously we were told that the two ways to undo the seal are the caster has to do it or the caster has to die. So why didn’t they just each take turns trying to remove the barrier to prove it wasn’t them. >.>
The other thing they should have checked in detail was the tattoo proving they are the heroes. The seventh person would not have received their tattoo from whatever god it was. So it’s an ordinary tattoo. Surely there would be a way to tell the differences.
