Expectations: I love being deliberately late to the party. People have finally stopped talking about this show, so it’s finally time to see what all the hype is about. Quite frankly, I’m expecting this show to be shit, but I’d like to be able to declare it shit with 100% certainty, which is why I need to watch at least one episode.
Impressions: Like many other SHAFT shows, this one is way too selfindulgent and pretentious. Not only that, the whole thing felt quite aimless and the pacing of the story is much too slow. After whole 20 minutes, the story has not really begun yet, if this thing has any kind of story to tell to begin with. Overall, the episode was extremely boring to watch, nothing grabbed my interest.
I found all the characters boring, cliché and unlikable, the heroine is especially irritating. Needless to say, I’m not into moe.
I think I’ll watch one more ep to see if any kind of story starts, but from what I’ve seen so far, I’m not sure if I’ll manage to sit through 20 more minutes of this pointless pretentious moe-overloaded show.
Rating: 6/10
