In the Land of Leadale #01 — Silly Faces and Status Screens
January 5th, 2022
Please don't yell at me, opening song.
Impressions:
Going straight into cacophonic screaming as the opening notes of your opening is certainly a choice. And like most of this episode, one that I doubt much thought or effort went into. At least tune the screaming. Good lord. Anyway, another generic iteration of this. It certainly thinks itself comical, but all the jokes are things like "I want to go to the tower." "YOU CAN'T GO TO THE TOWER! A SUPER POWERFUL WITCH LIVES THERE." "(…The witch is me.)" Even those only show up once every four to five minutes while it's busy reviewing how it's an RPG, how her stats are over 9,000, how she has infinite money, so on and so forth.
Around the halfway point, there is a minor but noticeable change to more silly faces, but I'm pretty certain that's because the animators got to take the day off and let some really half-assed CGI take over. The story continued to go absolutely nowhere though. She reviewed a few more status screens, recapped that it was RPG world, and kicked a bear. Even shows like Points in Defense or Kuma Cubed put at least a small bit of effort into the production. This one can't even be bothered to do that. Being a pale shadow of those things is not a great position to spend a whole episode firmly asserting yourself into.
