God’s Blessings #04 — Headless Horse

February 3rd, 2016

 

Are we just not going to address that? Okay, then.

Impressions:

I'm left at a loss of what the first half of the episode was for, especially the montage of practicing magic, although I suspect that the answer is "we needed to fill up 10 minutes." You used a montage right in the first episode, guys. Don't backslide like this. Then again, the whole episode had the air of about 3 minutes of content that got stretched out to try to fill an entire episode, and was nearly entirely devoid of jokes, and the only jokes that did exist were more speeches about how great explosions are and non sequiturs demanding to be abused.

The headless horseman showed up at the halfway point, and what followed after that was an endurance test against eight minutes of dramatic evil music. I think that maybe we were supposed to laugh uncomfortably the couple times that the music stopped. Or maybe the dumb anticlimax at the end? Who knows? I kept waiting for something about the headless horse, but apparently that was expecting far too much. 

Next Episode:

    The beginning made me think the show was devolving into a sketch comedy show, but then I actually got excited when they were describing the castle excursion, fighting through floors of the undead, with the stakes of Darkness’ life (who I honestly don’t really care about, and wouldn’t REALLY miss if she died) on the line if they fail.

    But thank god that was nullified, before something interesting could happen. We dodged a bullet, guys. You got me good anime, you got me good.

    Jesus, this episode actually made me think it was trying to do something.

    The problem here is that the jokes are all this show has going on for it, the plot, the motivation, the goal, the characters, everything is there just to support the comedy because otherwise is retarded and nonsensical, so when the show stops being funny or the jokes are bad everything becomes tedious and boring to watch, because there is nothing else going on for it, this kinda remind me of Zombie Desuka for that reason.

    Episode was great fun. Nice set up in the first half for the second half’s jokes.
