## kenja no mago
|
|
|
|
was not worth the time i spent watching it. the bad far outweighed any redeeming
|
|
qualities it might have. the premise was unimaginative, the humour was
|
|
consistantly lacking, and the storytelling and plot direction were clunky and
|
|
forced. to be fair, all of these problems seemed incredibly likely by just
|
|
reading the synopsis, but i wanted to give it a go anyway. however, there is
|
|
something that has been troubling me about this and i'm hoping by writing things
|
|
down i'll come to a better understanding of *why* and *how*.
|
|
|
|
> the thing that's been eating at me
|
|
|
|
***this show was without a doubt one of worst ones i will have watched this
|
|
season, yet it's also one of the first that i actually finished.*** i did finish
|
|
**tate no yuusha** first, but the fact remains i have not yet finished
|
|
**senko-san**, **hitoribocchi**, the first half of **kimetsu no yaiba**, almost
|
|
all of **bungou stray dogs 3**, much of **fairy gone**, and i haven't even put a
|
|
dent into **shingeki no kyojin 3** or **dororo** (which i'm pretty sure was last
|
|
season).
|
|
|
|
> giving myself some credit
|
|
|
|
in all fairness, it's not that i've been intentionally neglecting any of these
|
|
other shows, but obviously **a)** it's easier to binge watch shows when they've
|
|
finished airing and **b)** i watched a lot of anime which are no longer
|
|
"current". more than i watched current shows at any rate. i have no regrets for
|
|
this. i saw some pretty smegging good stuff. off the top of my head there's
|
|
**perfect blue**, **mondaiji-tachi ga isekai kara kuru sou desu yo?**, **fate
|
|
stay/night**, and the brilliant classic anime film **akira** which i honestly
|
|
wasn't sure i'd enjoy all that much. i also watched **aiura** which honestly
|
|
just by watching induced the same sort of effects i could expect from certain
|
|
types of drugs, as well as started some other older shows and re-watched some
|
|
shows with online friends.
|
|
|
|
going by this, i would say that the fact i finished **kenja no mago** says very
|
|
little about the quality of the show overall, except that it's a show that has
|
|
little to no reason to be seen when it *isn't* currently airing. it tried to set
|
|
itself up for a sequel, but i hope it doesn't get one. i want sequels for shows
|
|
that i think are **good** and that **are long overdue for one** in many cases.
|
|
|
|
## that's all folks
|
|
|
|
that's all the time i have today, but perhaps i'll write more about the shows i
|
|
mentioned here that i enjoyed at some later date. we'll see. until then,
|
|
|
|
> **live long and prosper**
