The Unaware Alchemy Meister #01 — Pretzel Logic

 

How does he even breathe without choking on his own stupidity?

Another early premiere on specifically Abema, but it looks like they’re going ahead with the second episode next week, so they’ve just got week-early privilege. 

Impressions:

Just another tiresome cheat power show. Functionally identical to that one about a dude from a high level area, with all the same jokes. Those jokes being that he contorts himself into the most obnoxious tortured pretzel logic to misunderstand everybody saying that he has cheat powers. He gets told to mix cement for an hour and repairs the entire wall and is like “Gee, they let me go early, they must think I did a bad job.” “You made a crystal in 5 seconds that would take a master mage a week to do!” “Gee, I can only do this once every few minutes. A real mage could do it for a week straight.” Them’s your gags. If you’re struggling to find the spot where you’re meant to laugh, me too.

Nothing else of any interest on any front. Story, nah? Animation? God no. Uh… music? Pfft. Even if you just want some haremy fanservice, there’s just a couple girls, and while both are definitely horny for him, there’s minimal titillation to be found. Honestly, I find it kind of odd. You could genuinely make a case of sex sells if you’re not willing to tell jokes. And believe me, *waves at Kamidori*, I’m completely fine with the premise of a dumbass protagonist slightly too good at their job, covered in horny women. But this is just more lazy-ass slop.
