Hooray for AI! Everybody loves AI! AI is the greatest!
This is, to my knowledge, the only early premiere this week, but I absolutely could be mistaken. I’m hoping to get the full preview up on Sunday. It’s 90% done, aside from collecting pixel art and making final quips. There is… so much shoujo next season. Just… so damn much.
Impressions:
Also known as “Beyond the End of the World” in very creative localization choices, but hey, we can argue about a lot regarding this show. I actually had relatively high hopes after seeing the promos, as they’re all fanservice friendly girls running around with lightsabers, beam cannons, carving up monsters with plenty of animation budget, so on and so forth. What I instead got this episode was a simpering sack of sad crap, and a monologue about how awesome AI is and how anybody who thinks otherwise is a fanatical lunatic. I’m not saying that we can’t have stories about sexy robots anymore, but read the goddamned room here. Opening the show with proselytization ain’t necessary for your story about time traveling to the future where your stepsister who you want to bang has uploaded herself into a killer android.
But all that is from the promos, and the future, because it is absolutely not what was in this episode. Twenty minutes was not in any way needed to follow around this mewling pile of boredom. Either of them, to be honest, since they barely have a brain cell between them, nor do they interact with each other almost at all. My parents died and I’m sad. We’re family now. Montage. So who’s up for some step-sibling incest? Oops, I’ve been shot. Ya’ll could’ve covered this in 90 seconds. Why did it take twenty minutes and a goddamned speech about how amazing ChatGPT is?
