The Fainting Hero #05 — Oops, All Rats

 

Ran out of ideas already?

FYI, I’m out of town next week from Thursday to the following Friday. Full vacation resort with the extended family kind of deal. While much of the schedule is lounging on the beach, anime blogging will not be high on the priority list.

Impressions:

Same issues as before, for the same reasons. Every time it focuses down on a single character, it stops gliding over how superficial everything and there is nowhere near enough substance to abandon the gimmicks, and especially the interaction between the characters, and be about character and story. The new harpy lady is just there is Test Her Worth™, which she explains by recapping. And then, upon going to a nondescript dungeon and doing literally the exact same thing as the first episode, declares that she Proved Her Worth™ because her invisible numbers are high enough.

That’s it? Not even going to find the harpy lady puking up a bunch of rats? Not coming home coated in rat viscera? Not even the tiniest whiff of anything new or different at all? Why do we even have a new character if they’re going to act exactly like the other two? 

Next Episode:

Cosplay party.
