Seven Spellblades #07 — Oedipal Brooms
August 18th, 2023
I'm really tempted to say seven episodes is enough just for the weak title joke.
Impressions:
Now that after six episodes, it has finally introduced the barest whiff of a story, it's time to… completely ditch it and rush back to filler and cribbing from Harry Potter. Which in this case means they get broomsticks and get really weird about trans people. I don't even know what it thinks it's doing with a character who is being magically gender morphed against their will, but I'm fairly certain that the gratuitous nude and cleavage shots and Not Great™. I don't even know what there is to say about the lunatic mad scientist who is constantly carrying around a giant lollipop that he forces students to lick while cackling madly. Yeah, this is certainly a very serious show about vengeance.
I'm not kidding about it completely running away from the story either. Before the OP kicks in, we get the entire evil conspiracy sitting around in a corner discussing with each other how it's been an entire term and nothing at all has happened, so it must mean that something is going on, which is why we're having a meeting four months later to discuss how four months have passed and nothing has happened. Do the writers get off on redundancy and padding? Anyway, let's go wander off to a random talent show.
