Amagi Brilliant Park Episode 8 (No Plot For You!)

Oh boy. Another episode of Amagi. Will there actually be plot relevant stuff in this episode?

Oh good! they’re talking about the need for more buses as more people are coming to the park, we see the number of people increasing, good. Good. Now we’re back on track to getting to that magical number of guests and-

Oh. Well it seem that Kanie isn’t doing so hot as he passes out. Huh. That kind of sucks. Oh well, i’m sure then the episode is going to be about how the park is going to manage without him and deal with getting more customers and saving themselves before the time runs out right?

NO OF COURSE IT FUCKING ISN’T.

Make way for “Wearing A suit that looks like Kanie and having wacky highjinks at school”

(flips table)

I swear. FUCK THIS SHOW.

and you think i’m joking? Nope, this episode is about Sento, Moffle, and the two mascot idiots dressing up as Kanie on different days so he doesn’t have to miss school.

What’s that? Save the park? FUCK THAT NOISE! make way for “Acting stupid at school parts 1-4”

Here is a quick recap.

Day 1. Sento dressed up as Kanie and he gets a love letter that actually wasn’t meant for him. She apologizes but he’s nice to her and now she kind of has a crush on Sento/Kanie

Day 2. The divorced Sheep dude fucks around school and talks to the guy who the girl originally wanted to confess to.

Day 3. The perverted cat thing dresses up as Kanie and tries to seduce the girl that now likes Kanie.

Day 4. Moffle dresses up as Kanie. Some girls are pissed at Kanie for being creepy towards the other girl. He tries to apologize, they call him a rip-off. He gets pissed off. The guy the girl originally confessed to shows up and they realize they should be together. badadada the end.

And that’s pretty much the entire episode.

This episode was COMPLETELY POINTLESS. There was no reason for this episode to exist. This goes beyond the “quirky funish” episode. There wasn’t even any part of this episode that took place in the park. This was just them fucking around in his high school. Literally only the first 8 seconds talked about the status of the park, and that was the most interesting part of the episode.

I don’t know why they love not talking about the overarching problem in this show, but they seem to. Its like they feel if they talk about the plot too much it might scare the kiddies and send them running home if they don’t have a “hilarious” (notice the quotation marks here) mascot character do something stupid or perverted.

Haha it's funny because you wouldn't expect a pink fluffy cat to- THAT'S NOT FUNNY — Haha it’s funny because you wouldn’t expect a pink fluffy cat to- THAT’S NOT FUNNY

I don’t know what to expect from this show anymore. Episodes 1 and 2 were really good and led me to believe that this show would be something entirely different than it is.

Also, HOW ABOUT THAT FUCKING MIND READING POWER?

He has literally used it twice in eight episodes. They made such a big deal of it in episode 2 you’d THINK they’d make that more of a priority on their “things to use in the series” list. If Lelouche only used his geass that many times by now he’d be DEAD.

WHY GIVE YOUR MAIN CHARACTER A SUPERPOWER AND THEN NOT USE IT?!

I just don’t understand the logistics of that. It’d be like saying “okay superman. Here’s your comic book. Make sure you don’t fly or use super strength more than once every three comics”

I don’t know what this series wants from me. I DO NOT CARE about your wacky sidejinks. I do not care about Moffle, or Laurel and Hardy (aka cat and sheep). I do not care about hardly anything you’re throwing at me. I want to see the thing that your series is based on. Saving the park. Get back to that you damn show. At this rate, you’re not going to finish, and it’s either going to be a “hold out for a second season” or “read the manga”. Which is annoying as hell.

If their survival depended on the fun I was having watching this show, they'd all be fucking dead. — If their survival depended on the fun I was having watching this show, they’d all be fucking dead.

Also…didn’t the fucking cat thing betray them last episode to basically become slaves or die? How come they so readily accepted him back to the group? Shouldn’t he be exiled from the park? or be imprisoned? or SOMETHING? Oh no wait. Consequences in this show are apparently non-existent. Kind of like how no one’s giving a shit about the countdown to death.

You know what? If this show doesn’t care anymore…Then I won’t either. Maybe MAYBE next episode will be the plot…but I doubt it. I don’t care about your wacky stupidity, I don’t care about Senta’s obvious boner for Kanei but won’t tell him because she’s stupid, I just don’t care.

Episode 3/10

P.S. So… you’re obviously not using that mind reading power Kanei…can I have it?
