Just crawl into a stranger’s lap, eh?
First new show of the summer season, but the rest don’t begin until July, so my procrastination is still fine. Should be up tomorrow or Monday, depending on how much creativity I have flowing and how irritated TBH and Lazarus make me this evening.
Impressions:
And as ever, a weak as hell start to the new season, though at least not a cheat power RPG world thing. No, harems are making a comeback, at least for a season, and this is merely one of about a dozen, not even including the cheat power ones or the especially bizarre things that just happen to be harems on the side. And no, this isn’t the full title. It’s one of the ones with a paragraph, but I need to save some jokes for the already-written preview. Anyway, just brainless garbage. It sort of has some DNA in common with shows like Assassin’s Pride, Black Bullet, or Akashic Records where you’ve got a washed up 18 year old teacher who now has to play babysitter to a bunch of horny 12 year olds, and all of which I made it at least to the end of a season while still vaguely remembering that there were points in them that you could squint and just about see a decent show.
Except the first couple of those took place in apocalyptic hellscapes crawling with monsters that at least attempted to make action and story the centerpieces. Whereas this chooses to have… nothing. Girls tripping and falling into his arms nonstop, I guess. That kind of has a way of losing a lot of the potential draws while also ramping up the protagonist’s genius amazing cheat power BS. I’ll go ahead and just spoil this little bit of foreshadowing they alluded to. The reason he failed his magic tests is because there’s a dick swinging portion and he humiliated the prince by being too awesome. It’s that kind of show. And so he’s been exiled to a harem of children constantly jumping into his arms where he can sit there and listen to exposition, before delivering it himself as we learn the boring trivialities of how this particular flavor of magic in the world works, thus consume the entire twenty minutes of the episode with the only thing ostensibly happening is girls tripping and falling into his arms, so they can get flustered either about it, or about it happening to someone that isn’t them. Truly exciting content.
