Zombie Stills #11 — Daddy Issues

June 23rd, 2016

 

I know, let's spend an entire episode repeating episode 9!

Impressions:

Our enthralling tale of how Biba continues to pitch a world class temper tantrum via slaughtering countless people via stills and exploiting the once badass heroine enters its third week, this time, an almost shot for shot retread of the first episode of his hissy fit. Kill whoever's in charge, have some angsty flashbacks, exploit a girl, release a zombie horde on the city, and then sit back and smirk.

What are our protagonists doing all this time? Nothing, part three. The princess has completed her character arc from useless to Tits-Porter and Protagonisto has completed his arc from useless to unleashing the darkness within me to save my girl. Not entirely certain why he suddenly cares so much about her as opposed to everything else that's going on. Not entirely certain why he places so much faith in the voodoo magic drugs either. It's the angsty haircut that gives him his new special powers anyway.

Summer season preview will be up on Monday. All that's really left are the pithy stingers, but there's no way I'm getting all that done in a single evening, and I've got jack lined up for next Monday through Wednesday anyway.

7 Shouts From the Peanut Gallery

  • The Phantom says:

    Is regardless a great anime, I usually watch streams but this one, I must get it in the highest definition possible. I have not done that since humm Regios? And damn I loved Regios.

    This seems to be finishing the season with a bang which is a big plus already, they also did not overextend the lame Shogun part, he appeared this episode and is dead already, same as the emo part, is over already, next episode seems like is going to be a big fight, can’t wait for it.

  • algorithm says:

    The lack of substance and rampant stupidity are somewhat tolerable when you watch it at 2x speed.

    @algorithm I am off this nonsensical show but i watch most things at 1,5x speed.

  • Opulent Rag says:

    Of all the “crap” anime that I have watched this season, despite my initial feelings of exasperation and annoyance at the latter half of it, this wasn’t all that bad. i wouldn’t buy it on dvd or anything, but if Toonami picked it up I’d watch it to support them.

  • Sanjuro says:

    It would have been better if the chubby dead boy was the “girl” he was unleashing his inner darkness for.

  • Anonymous says:

    He got a haircut to increase the voodoo magic drugs success rate to 100%.its all very scientific

  • Xatsuki says:

    Expected more from this series. I thought it would surpass AoT but didn’t even get so close as to all the gore and thrill. The haircut’s also disturbing! He’s like a rockstar now. :/
