And sure, it actually IS easy to believe. It’s so simple! At least, that’s what most series wants to make you believe when they talk about the battle between good and evil. Whatever keeps the show going, just do it. You wanna fuck a pig and infect it with your lycanthropy? Fine, whatever! A plot doesn’t come into existence by itself, you know. Then you should just go ahead and do whatever shit is necessary to create a plot for the heroes. It’s always inspiring to see the good guys’ power being shown off by a rain of blood, right?Įvil is an onion, meaning it got layers. That makes it okay.Īlso, Tatsumi proves to be helpful to Mine who’s head over heels for that guy… although she doesn’t show it. It almost sounds like murder except it’s evil people who die. It’s a splendid display of Vigilante-justice, as in that evil guys die and the good guys did the killing. Yet again, there’s some naughty old man who needs to die for the self-righteous gratification of Night Raid. So, this being a medieval setting doesn’t stop Tatsumi and Mine from having some light-hearted fun where Mine can act absurdly and Tatsumi can play the straight guy.īut then there’s another random, seemingly purpose-less assassination Night Raid needs to deal with. More than that, rather than training him, she’s taking him on a shopping-trip… you know, this thing girls have always done since the dawn of mankind (I imagine). And naturally she doesn’t take Tatsumi serious at all. And so in order to prove to the corrupt, evil rich and powerful people of the Capital that shit flows both ways, Tatsumi begins his training with Mine.Įxcept Mine is a girl, a tsundere to be specific. An honest idiot, though… and he has a talent to slice up people which is a good thing to have as a good guy, in the Capital, at least, the place where shit usually flows downhill from the top. So they all need to die a painful death because that’s what righteousness is all about.īut that’s just the bloody prelude to the meaningful story of Mine and Tatsumi. Also, Mine’s a tsundere, so… I don’t know… maybe use characters that aren’t stereotypical anime-teenager-characters, if you want to create a truly dark show…?Įvil foreigners have found the hideout of Night Raid… somehow. It’s all just the pretentious ticks of a series unable to commit to showing evil that’s worthy of all that gore. Sure, there’s enough blood in each episode to fill a swimming-pool but it’s not like beneath all that violence there’s actual dark shit going on. It’s not a great series after all, more than that, it’s somewhat generic. Maybe I start blogging another series instead of this one. That’s a really stupid superpower to have… This gun has the worst imaginable timing to show its full potential.
