天下制覇

Let the monsters win already.

Impressions:

What pained me the most about this one was the dialogue that seemed to be mining for new levels of insipidness. Insipidity? Insipidatiousness? "Boy, your daughter is an S-Rank adventurer. That must be a high rank." "Yes. S-rank is the highest rank of adventurer that an adventurer can achieve." "She defeated a monster that A-rank adventurers couldn't." "Yes, that just shows how much of an S-rank adventerurer she is." Are you paying your scriptwriters based on the number of times they can work the title of the show into the script? That seems to be the only content too, as it keeps jumping to each crisis only to be summarily vanquished after a single half-assed swing of the sword, all the while lamenting that adventuring sucks like an office day job. What exactly is adventuring here, guys? Why is your world apparently under five different apocalypses at once and yet only this one random girl can handle all of them, with zero effort? Or animation for that matter.

As usual, this makes the mistake of not focusing on the interesting parts of what's going on, and thinks itself clever for doing so. It smugly considers adventuring and fighting monsters to be something everybody does, so we'll focus on the stuff in between instead; mistaking being different for good. Except that it's not different. This has been done to death by anime a hojillion times over. And it doesn't do the middle drama parts well either. It's just a girl sitting around going "hot damn, do I want to bang my dad," and the dad sitting around going "wow, my daughter sure is sending me letters about how she's S-ranked." What is supposed to be the engaging part about either side here?
