As if things couldn’t get more ham-handed.
Impressions:
It’s a profoundly unimportant tiny piece of this episode, but at the very start when Amoru tries to run back into the fire? It’s so terribly animated. Like, Symphogear season 1 terrible animation. Her entire body barely moves so it looks like she’s suddenly skating or rollerblading across the ground. I had to go back and verify that I wasn’t having a stroke or something. Yes, this was well worth spending an entire paragraph calling out. It was a silly part of a stupid, barely animated episode.
The next five minutes or so would be spent discovering that the supposed child’s story book is actually a weird biblical parable about the origins of the entire world. You know, as childhood stories are. Spot the Dog, Everybody Poops, The Epic of Gilgamesh, The Bible, all popular childhood storybooks. The five minutes after that would be spent boarding a train and some new dude doing schtick. Why are we hanging out with him? Who knows? Tune in next week to find out if he’s as plot relevant as the librarian lady, or as plot relevant as the mafia incest family. The sky’s the limit. The other killer androids finally showed up right at the end after being teased since episode 2 I think, and are immediately defanged and inducted straight into the harem because they’re all looking for his girlfriend, the one true Jesus god, and they’re just silly billies who have poor social skills. Cool. Great. So… we have no antagonists whatsoever at this point then? Just that evil corporation or whatever that’s been foiled at every turn and is out to… uh… do evil? …Great. Good place for the story to be nine episodes in.
