天下制覇

One day, GoHands. One day.

Impressions:

Someday, GoHands will stumble into a huge license, or manage to find some undiscovered genius of a writer and will put together a masterpiece. This show, however, almost makes me sad for the artists and animators that died to put together the first three minutes. There were more frames of animation, better incorporated CGI, more visual direction than possible every single other new show I've watched for the summer season so far, put together. Which isn't to say that it's all necessarily good. It still has GoHands usual bloom and glare all over the place, all the weird-ass camera angles designed almost solely to mess around with perspective, etc. But compared to, let's say, closeups of someone's thighs? Give me long legged overly smoothed out walking any day.

And it's all for just another incredibly banal show about a dude with a quirky girlfriend where nothing ever happens, nobody ever grows or changes, the relationship almost certainly goes nowhere, and the protagonists just stammer and blush. Not enough comedy even attempted to actually be funny, and sure as hell not enough romance to be romantic. Just frames on frames on frames on frames. Wait, was that a glasses pun? Teenagers in animation sweatshops worked 20 hour days to animate every single strand of this girl's hair settling when she bobs her head for this show. And this is how the writing room repays them? Johnny Everyteen going "U-Um, u-um, uuummm, u-ummm."
