Brynhildr in the Darkness ep 11: wow thats some tension

This episode is fucking terrible just like this show.

 

I don’t know what to tell you guys. I had hopes for this show! I thought it might be good. The creator of Elfen Lied? A decent premise and a not entirely terrible if overtly generic first few episodes? This show is garbage. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, this manga plot was found in a garbage bin of rejected how to draw manga storylines.

Remember this character? No, if you do it’s from the openings. The openings that have featured her since the beginning yet she is only now showing up IN EPISODE ELEVEN. Don’t mistake this- I saw this episode the day it came out. But my feelings were so mixed I had to wait two days just to understand how fucking mad I am at this show. This is not how you introduce an interesting premise or character, by nonchalantly throwing this shit in our faces. I don’t care about this girl. I don’t care about anyone in this show! Kazumi, Kogoro, and Jedishima (the loving phrase coined for silver haired guy) are the only exceptions and that’s because I want them to make out on a pile of corpses made up solely of these obnoxious fucking characters in the show.

Tense moment? Freed Valkyria? Possible incident? The best fucking solution is an immediate hot spring soak!

No. I’m tired of this. I’m tired of this! I can’t pretend this show can be redeemed because it doesn’t know how to pace anything! Everything about this show is bad. I am interested in nothing. Even the openings fall short because the new opening is too death metal even though it finally has good imagery and the first opening had terrible cut from the show clips! Nothing is good about this! The characters are drab piece of plywood who have only one goal: fuck each other. Ryota wants to fuck Neko. Neko wants to fuck Ryota. Kazumi wants to fuck Ryota. EVERYONE WANTS TO FUCK RYOTA.

This new fucking bitch goes out of her way to test Ryota then says she likes him. Cue the obvious, Ryota is wanted by every girl. This episode had yet another mention of the pills as well, and what happened? Nothing. It’s always the same. “Ohhh go on living for me!!!!!” then no one gives up the pills. It’s a red herring plot element and if the show was good it would have dropped or fixed it or even just paced it better. But it’s not a better show. It’s fucking stupid.

The one interesting thing about this episode is that Jedishima seems to have somehow made Valkyria love him. That is actually interesting! He is also connected to the only other interesting people in the show, namely Kogoro. Of course. EVERY SCIENTIST KNOWS EVERY OTHER SCIENTIST! It’s how that shit works. We learn his motivation is to understand the true nature of life and that’s why he’s so cruel: he’d do anything to learn the truth. That’s a shitty reasoning by the way. It just is. Nothing is moving about a blank character so determined he never once shows true emotion.

Then the episode ends with Ryota (re) learning the truth- that Kuroha is in fact Kuroneko. He cries and all the other girls look jealous and I don’t know what you want from me story. I really don’t! I knew she was Kuroneko. *I* don’t fucking care. I don’t care about Ryota. I care only about the impossible notion of Kazumi and jedishima getting it on on top of his corpse. IT WON’T HAPPEN THOUGH. All this show wants is to shove this boring tiresome couple into our face. I don’t care. There is no fucking mystery. 1107 is Kuroha (or ryota if they’re fucking original but HAH won’t happen) and she’ll magically fix fucking everything.

This show is shit. I don’t fucking care.
