Occultic;Nine #01 — Crippling Back Pain

Someone needs breast reduction surgery badly.

Impressions:

Leaving aside that the animators clearly have only heard of large breasts in tales told by sailors and that show about bludgeoning girls with breasts arguably has a better grasp on how they work, this provides quite the contrast to March, in that it fills every single second with a nonstop motor-mouthed train of dialogue like every single character is one third hummingbird mainlining a mix of Red Bull and speed. Even when they're having conversations, characters are already talking before the previous one has finished their sentence. Did someone write a forty minute script that they had to try to fit into a 22 minute episode? It does slow down a little (at least in conversation speed, lord knows the 'story' never really goes anywhere) in the middle when the focus goes off the screaming protagonist duo, but then he starts screaming about a girl in a stupid hat he sees on TV. It's fatiguing to say the least.

I think the thing that'll make it or break it for most people, myself included, is the main pair. Besides talking like bumblebees and having a chest the size of Saturn, they're aggressively quirky, in that distinctly anime way where they act like screaming sociopathic raving lunatics, but it's… funny, I guess? I've made my nearly universal hatred of screaming as a punchline known repeatedly, and while this is more of just a constant yell rather than punctuated shouts, it's still keenly obnoxious, and there's precious little in the way of a story to support it. It tried to do a bunch of disparate stuff that's then revealed in the final seconds as all being tied together, but first, that seems like it would've gone without saying from the start, and second the overwhelming focus was on the screaming duo whose contribution was pretty much just tripping over the scalped corpse at the end. So less "all threads lead to a tapestry" and more "Oh, is that a tapestry? I thought it was a pile of rags, one of which with severe back trauma in its future."

    Onore! I came here today with the only purpose of making that joke.

  • jingoi says:

    I’m interested now.

  • Opulent Rag says:

    Well at least they did all the work for the hentai artists by giving her beachball tits by default. I certainly look forward to her large breasts being the punchline/visual gag for every joke and scene she’s in.

    Gawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwd

  • Sanjuro says:

    The main character might not have been so annoying if not for his awful awful voice actor.

  • The Phantom says:

    Something is strange about their noses, when they are doing a frontal view of their faces something seems off.

    • anise_punter, certified cute girls doing cute things expert says:

      I thought I was going crazy, that’s definitely happening.
