Bye Bye Earth #01 — My Deer Kraken

 

Told you. Invasive species.

Not slow this morning for any particular reason. Just distracted. Though I did glance at 2.5D Seduction’s second episode. His spurned childhood friend shows up, immediately strips naked, and accidentally pulls him on top of her. Yuuuup.

Impressions:

I feel like the core premise here is pretty confused. Everybody’s racist against non-animal people, so it’s up to you to find a place where you truly belong… somewhere else. With people like you. At the very least, aim for both. Overcome racism and prove the racists wrong, AND find a place of people who aren’t racists. Instead, we get a flashback to her bonding with a giant magical German sword she steals, so they lock her up with it, which strikes me as a massive lapse in security protocols, but what do I know about magical swords and centaur police? 

It’s definitely going for that high fantasy schtick where it blasts dozens of nonsense words and hopes that the audience can cobble together something that makes at least some sense, which isn’t great. It got especially bad towards the end when the dude started going on about how you need curses to travel, and curses are part of bloodpacts, and his curse is vaporizing himself or something, all as a way to end the episode. I’d far prefer intros like Rage of Bahamut or Horizon’s with a lot of high octane stuff around the blathering nonsense, but from the fight against the deer kraken, I’m not sure that it has the budget for that. Still looked better than most of the cheat power things this season on the animation front, but it’s a lot closer to Shy’s budget than Bahamut/Horizon’s.
