Seven Spellblades #03 — “That’s Against School Rules”

July 21st, 2023

 

Please. I know about Binding of Isaac. Your 'demon baby' is nothing.

Impressions:

All right. It's time to trim down the Friday shows since they all kind of suck in various ways, and this is not making any kind of case for itself. I was dead on the money when I said last week that this episode would just begin with some random authority stepping out and telling them to knock it off, but apparently the melodrama of the episode was that the lead girl would first step out and say "I'll sacrifice myself so you can get away!" Were we supposed to be taking these two bullies seriously? Was this actually a fight for their lives? What was stopping them from just… you know… walking away while they were fighting each other? Absolutely nothing whatsoever, is the answer. And yet we're going to spend half the episode and an entire flashback pissing over how tragic and draaaaammmmmaaaaattttiiiiiicccc her suicidal ideations are. They'd work better as a goddamned joke since they're her first and only response to 100% of the situations she's been in so far.

The rest of the episode was back to brainless filler. Almost recap, actually. Remember how that one girl believes in troll rights? Let's review that and torture her a bit for it until, once again, some random authority figures show up to tell them "No, that's against school rules," and all their faces light up like a goddamned Christmas tree. Seriously? This is so stupid and lazy. And remember how the drill hair girl is rich and has some entanglement with the bratty noble? Let's review that as well, but not actually go anywhere with it. Overall story? Nah. We're still not going to be introducing anything whatsoever like that. It's three episodes in. Are we going to be doing anything whatsoever, or just pissing around, meeting upper classmen and teachers who alternatively haze and then save people from hazing before pissing back off into the shadows never to be seen again?
