This and no other brilliant negotiating tactics.

Oops. This had its first episode premiere today, but will be airing the second episode onward on Mondays, beginning on the sixth.

Impressions:

We're just getting all the overtly unsalvagably terrible shows out of the way first this season. Never mind that like 75% of them fall into that category. Dude does his best, but is a regular guy, but is really insistent that he always does his best and tries his hardest, but he's just a regular guy. These are the two things that will be repeated at least fourteen times over the course of the first half of the episode as it states, restates, re-restates, and then repeats its premise for the people who started watching the show without reading the title. Sometimes it's him yelling it, internally and externally. Sometimes it's the hot girl in a bikini. Sometimes it's the overlord. See? Something for everybody. Every now and then, one will randomly overreact and yell. That's how you know it's a comedy.

Then we get to what has to be called the meat of the episode by default where he enters negotations. It lasts for about three seconds before they leave, he thinks back to a time when he had to try his best, and inexplicably succeeded. We then cut to him having already tried his best and succeeded offscreen, so he explains that you just need to keep trying your best, and you'll succeed, which puts the bikini girl in her place and fills her with blushes and desire for this virile male specimen. Maybe this is how I will cope with all these godawful shows this season; just summarizing their episodes full of bile and spite. Lord knows it won't be talking about their incredible animation, characters, or stories.
