I’m fully aware of the irony in the name of this post in conjunction with the post topic. It was half the reason I decided to write on it.

Entries from the Dead: Gibiate
This is a very fresh addition to my anime graveyard, having dropped this just last night. Normally, I would try out an anime, drop it, and then not bother; the rare exception comes when I feel I have something insightful to say about it. But with Gibiate, there is a specific angle that made me try it in the first place, and after seeing (part) of the results myself, I feel pretty let down. This was compared to Mars of Destruction—an anime so terrible it’s used as a pedestal for all terrible anime to aspire to. Knowing that as a connoisseur of terribad things, how could I resist?

This anime choice was suggested for testing by a dear friend. While I could not finish it, there is a sizeable amount of information to provide that I think should make for a great post. Hopefully that can serve as consolation.

They say that everyone loves an underdog. The come-from-nowhere, chip-on-their-shoulder, hard-working specimens that find success through hell and back. Disadvantages are their crux; doubt only entices them to try harder. These kinds of stories make up the plot of many sports stories, specifically, but also make for delectable drama in other ventures arbitrarily created by humanity for the sake of it. Such vapid appeal also comes in the form of runway modeling, which if not for the sake of allowing people to express themselves, would be one of the most superficial and arrogantly obnoxious things in the known world, in my opinion.

Early Impressions: Houkago Teibou Nisshi
However I may feel about this anime currently, there won’t be much continuation anytime soon. The big, bad COVID has prevented this series from continuing to air, and those enamored with fish, girls, and a combination of two will have to wait an undisclosed amount of time for episode four. Continue reading “Early Impressions: Houkago Teibou Nisshi”
Early Impressions: Yesterday wo Utatte
Apologies for the inactivity. Life’s been a tad busier for me lately. Let’s settle down and discuss some season anime. Continue reading “Early Impressions: Yesterday wo Utatte”
Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru Struggles to Find Reasoning Beyond Trendiness
How long has it been since I started this series? According to MyAnimeList… almost eleven months ago. Sounds accurate. Recommended to me long ago by a commenter whose name I do not recall, I had actually seen the above cover image while browsing the site I use to read manga. It was enough for them to suggest that, despite the use of sexual fan service, it had enough heart to be a fun read. Taking their word for it, the journey began. Not sure if I regret it… yet.

Merry Days of Anime: Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii [DROPPED]
This entry will be another quick one, which is somewhat unfortunate as the finale of the Merry Days of Anime block. Alas, I could only stomach two episodes, so I only have enough to say about two episodes’ worth of content. This is also a pretty popular series, so strap yourselves in for some harsh opinions.

Merry Days of Anime: Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni
I’m gonna keep this one somewhat short, as I have come across a rare, but serious issue of mine: Upon completing this, I immediately wanted to re-watch it. But in such a short span? That’s cause for exhaustion. I can only discuss my thoughts the first time around… and wonder if a second viewing could ease some of my early frustrations. Continue reading “Merry Days of Anime: Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni”
Merry Days of Anime: Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken [DROPPED]
I don’t like isekai. I know I don’t like isekai. If not for some kind words thrown at this series that led me to believe it broke some of the tropes embodied by the genre, I wouldn’t bother with it. I gave it a shot, and for a while, it was true. It focused much less on the self-indulgence of flaunting one’s OP-ness and more on building a fantasy world full of dozens of interesting creatures and personalities.
Until it didn’t. Continue reading “Merry Days of Anime: Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken [DROPPED]”
