The Healer’s Do-Over #01 — Revenge Softcore Porn
January 13th, 2021
People have sex! Fanservice! Yes, yes. Very dark. Very serious.
Impressions:
That this is revenge porn should come as a surprise to nobody, and I'll remind you that AT-X is broadcasting both the censored version and I believe five hours later, an uncensored version, but I'm busy, and I already hate it, so no point in sitting around for slightly more uncensored PG-13 pornography. And yes, in the category of revenge porn, the emphasis is firmly on the porn side. Hell, the first shot of it is some naked woman being raped while he grins sadistically. There is a brief action scene that's not terribly animated, but 80% of the episode is either internal narration self-justifiying him taking revenge, or closeups of balloon-shaped breasts. That's how you can tell that it's a super serious show.
It's just so damn minimal effort on every level of the writing. He just says "heal" and it does literally whatever he wants. Steals souls, restores limbs, disintegrates people, rewinds time. Hell, literally the first power he gets is a magic eye that lets him see status screens, and also gives him a long hallucination about his supposedly forgotten alternate future life. You could've made an interesting show about how that future shown to him was all a lie and he was manipulated. That makes slightly more sense, especially when the alternative is about three straight minutes of "I'm having sex with all the maids to steal their maid brains." And then, without any resolution or purpose to that, except to call out "I totally had sex! I'm such an grown-up!" the episode, like this post, unceremoniously ends.
