天下制覇

Delicious in Garden Party.

Impressions:

And this doubled down on almost everything that irritated me about the Awkward Boss episode. The internal narration exposition went into overdrive. The animation was somehow even worse. Those initial shots of raising a sandwich to the mouth from the side as people supposedly taking a bite were an almost comically awful first impression. And then there's the female lead. Her goal in life is to get a husband. Oh no, a monster. Wait, that boy's so cute. But first I need to worry about the laundry. And then the cooking. Like a proper lady. Oh no, he's stripping in front of me! But he's such a cute boy with such big muscles! He's the bad boy that everybody is scared of. Except for his entire retinue, obviously. And that he can't interact with women without blushing and stammering. A pretty new dress! She's, uh… certainly a certain archetype, especially with all the camera shots straight down her cleavage. 

I'll say this, at least she was more open about her whole monster-eating schtick which removed at least one obnoxious aspect of interacting with people, and made the meet-cute not nearly as bad, but then we have the peanut gallery who's standing at the sides announcing characters in the most bizarre ways. "It's the Blood Mad Duke who slayed that random monster who almost killed us and saved our lives. What a cruel horrible beast." And then they evaporated into thin air despite a giant monster corpse in the middle of a garden party, because that scene went on forever. Which really stood out because like with a lot of scenes, the music didn't seem to be quite on the same page, and they didn't get the message that the monster was dead for a minute or two after.
