天下制覇

A rape scene we're so proud of, we had to show it twice.

I do plan on posting a first impression for Dawn of the Witch, but it'll have to wait until the evening. It airs late, is being slow to appear on the internet in any form at all (which isn't unusual for the really late airing shows), and I have a four hour car ride home to deal with that I would really prefer to be done with before dinner time.

Impressions:

And so we come to our last new cheat power RPG reincarnation crapfest of the season, and we're starting out 'strong' by jumping straight to the rape scene advertised in the promos. Well, nowhere to go for the rest of the episode but up from here. And it succeeds. At not going anywhere up. Because after this follows the reviewal of the status screens and character sheet, the explanation that it's an RPG, and then we do the rape scene a second time, but this go round, longer and rapier. Fantastic. You're going to win a lot of converts with this one, Japanese anime industry.

The especially sad part is that the rape scene is where all the tiny, miniscule, pathetic budget went too, and it still was terribly animated. The rest of the episode is on a shoestring budget and frequently devolves to stills even when there was anything to animate in the first place. Perhaps the dumbest were when it tried to work in reaction shots of the titular skeleton dude by half cutting out the CGI armor just to show one eye glowing. Whatever you were going for with this show, people, this ain't it.
