Pointy Chinned Pretty Boys #01 — Food Snapchat
April 10th, 2018
All the excitement of following a particularly boring person's food tweets with none of the commitment.
Impressions:
Let me see if I have this straight. Four dudes, not one of them over thirty, and since this is anime, it's unlikely that any are over 22, run a teahouse on what appears to be a goddamned acreage of immaculately landscaped forest in the middle of downtown. Their place isn't empty, but it isn't exactly bustling either. By my rough napkin math, they would need to be serving approximately seventeen hundred and forty three lattes an hour to be breaking even. I can think of a few explanations for this. First, it's the most transparent money laundering operation in the world. Second, every single person there is dead and this is actually hell, or at the very least, purgatory. Third, I'm in hell, or at the very least, purgatory.
I hope that paragraph of ad lib gave you some measure of entertainment, because it's more than this episode will. All the excitement of watching someone snapchat their food, without having to navigate to snapchat. Featuring such jokes as "this latte art is terrible," and such drama as "this latte tastes great." They realize that alone's not enough to carry the show, so they also snapchat a few other different foods, complete with internal narration tweets about how food the food is, and have a couple brief 'wacky' bits where people make goofy faces. There's boys. They shine. There's food. It shines too. The audience insert narrates constantly about how boy the boys are, and how food the food is. The end. Bon appe-hell no.
