Brynhildr in the Darkness ep 13: This Show is TERRIBLE and you should never watch it [Final Impression]

Nothing about this show is good. If you like things that are good this show is not for you. Good is the antimatter of this show. If good were to meet this show it would explode much in the nature of a world destroying cataclysm. I cannot recommend someone not watching this show more. Don’t watch this show. Don’t do it.

This episode begins by killing any interest in the show. First, they knock out Ryota for no reason just to go off and die, so take a fucking shot for self sacrifice. Then Kotori ends the only crisis of the show by ejecting herself. I can’t tell you how poorly written it is or how stupid the entire concept is. The execution was also just abysmal.

So Kotori throws herself on the sword just to make Valkyria and Ichijika leave, but they run into Kazumi and Neko only for Valkyria to kill Kazumi and take Neko, declaring she is her sister. Uhm okay. Let me just say that’s predictable and ruined any redeeming qualities of the show?? Let me just say that’s so fucking stupid and generic? Way to make a cool villain into a vapid empty character meant to be a convenience?? That”s not good writing??

And then…get this..Ryota comes in just in time for a fucking plot convenience. Kotori hasn’t melted EVEN THOUGH SHE FUCKING SHOULD HAVE BECAUSE NO ONE LASTS THIS LONG ONCE THEY MELT AND IF SHE HADN’T YET THE BEAM SHOULDN’T BE GONE?? BUT FUCKING ANYWAY SHE AND RYOTA BOND AND IT TURNS OUT RENA WAS ICHIJIKA’S SISTER AND IT *DID* WORK BUT FUCK THAT BEING EXPLAINED I GUESS SO RYOTA JUST…RUNS OFF ONLY TO RUN INTO KAZUMI CUT IN HALF AND LET ME FUCKING SAY SOMETHING HERE

In the next scene they have to go up against Valkyria okay? So basically it was the same scene as when Kazumi was there. The only fucking difference is Ryota wasn’t there. So the difference between Neko making a sacrifice and accomplishing something is. . . Ryota. Because if Ryota had been there, they would have defeated Valkyria or done maybe. . .something, but instead she wasn’t so Kazumi died. ALL knocking Ryota out did was serve to kill Kazumi so the show could throw TWO stupid fucking pointless deaths in our face to make us feel things.

It’s so fucking offensive to me. I just. Fucking. They killed the ONLY interesting character in this show for no reason JUST TO MAKE US FEEL THINGS. I FEEL THINGS ALRIGHT. I FEEL LIKE PUNCHING THIS SHOW IN THE ETHEREAL FUCKING VORTEX IT CALLS A VAGINA AND SHOVING THIS IRREDEEMABLE PLOT COCK INTO IT LIKE FUCKING MIKE TYSON ON HIS OWN FUCKING FACE. I FEEL SOMETHING ALRIGHT! THIS SHOW MAKES ME SO MAD I WANT TO SCREAM AT SOMETHING! I CAN’T FUCKING DO IT OKAY THIS SHOW IS SO. JUST FUCKING BAD!

What I would like to do to this show is featured above.

The rest of this episode is so fucking badly paced but let me sum it up for you: Someone presses Kana’s button, no fucking idea, so she can walk but no longer forecast. She stops Valkyria from holding Neko back so she can press her top button as well, and rather than melt of course she just becomes super powered and glowy.

[HorribleSubs] Brynhildr in the Darkness - 13 [480p].mkv_20140629_115632

 

She manages to hold off Valkyria but then conveniently fucking collapses just so the church cloak fuckers can come in, try and kill Valkyria, and fail. Just so Ichijika can have his ‘redeeming’ moment and save Valkyria by using himself as a human shield. All it does is piss off Valkyria who loves him despite being used and make her try and kill everything with antimatter, prompting Neko to create a micro black hole with her powers and save everyone. Right before this she remembers everything with her powers. . .for no fucking reason. . . and then charges off to die or something.

[HorribleSubs] Brynhildr in the Darkness - 13 [480p].mkv_20140629_115919

I don’t fucking know what else there is to say about this abomination.

I guess we are supposed to care? About Ichijika, Neko, Ryota, the plot- really. . .anything. I guess we are supposed to give a fuck. But you know what? I don’t. And none of the rest of you fucking should either. Only one character was interesting and she was still painfully predictable. NOTHING IN THIS SHOW IS GOOD. NOTHING IS SACRED. NOTHING IS ANYTHING. IT IS AN EMPTY WASTELAND. OH BUT FUCKING GET THIS GUYS

FUCKING GET THIS

 

NEKO IS ALL, OOOH IM GONNA SAY I LOVE YOU AND THEN PROBABLY DIE RIGHT? WELL SHE DOESN’T FUCKING DIE. OF COURSE SHE DOESN’T THE MAIN LOVE INTEREST CAN’T FUCKING DIE BUT OF COURSE EVERY FUCKING BODY ELSE CAN FUCKING DIE BUT OOOOH THEN IT TURNS OUT TO BE ANNGNST SHE DOESNT FUFLKDHLKJS FUCKING REMEMBER RYOTA BECAUSE OOOOH HER POWERS MAKE HER FORGET WELL WHAT THE FUCK APPARENTLY NOT APPARENTLY JUST PRESSING THE FUCKING BUTTON MAKES YOU REMEMBER AND FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU SHOW FUCK FUCK I JUST CANT FUCK FUCK I JUST FUCK FUCK

    Calm down, read the manga. All will be explain.

    1. Oki June 29, 2014

      Explained =/= good.

    2. Oki June 29, 2014

      I READ A LOT OF IT IN THE LAST FEW HOURS
      final battle = better
      cliches = still present
      Not good, better, Kazumi lived so that’s good. But it’s….still rifled with cliches. And…everyone wants to bone murakami EVEN MORE. So. ugh.

  2. Nikki June 29, 2014

    This show was such shit. It had a glimmer of hope of being something watchable but the makers of this show need to be smacked. I feel so sorry for people who say this show is good. Like … where have you been? In all of life? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? This show is so bad I wish I could make up more curse words to describe this shows. A lot of people said the manga is better but I doubt it helps. The makers have no creativity and need to have their hands cemented so they can never do harm by making any more animes like this one. In so done. So damn done.

    1. Oki June 29, 2014

      It was just fucking terrible. I went and read some of the manga (mainly all the stuff from a few episodes back to here) and it was still shitty. I mean…it was better. But it had all the cliches that made it not very good, it just had a better pacing to tell it all.

  3. エル July 2, 2014

    Did you watch ep 13 properly to the end of the final credits? It is clearly revealed that Kazumi survived. Also, you pointed out that it’s unclear who pushed the button on Kana’s “hernest”. It seems to be pretty obvious to me though. Hatsuna did. And yes, she also lived allright, which – again – is shown after the final credits (although it can be guessed along the way). I think it’s quite reasonable to assume as well that it was she who revived Kazumi, the same way she did with Ryouta earlier.

    1. Oki July 2, 2014

      Yes, originally I downloaded a LQ version of Brynhildr in order to get it out faster, and it didn’t seem different, so I didn’t bother watching after the credits. First off, she survived. . . .but had an unnecessary death scene that was just emotional bait. Second, did you read later in the review? I said specifically I suspected Hatsuna to have come back. But if she did, it’s even more stupid to assume she used the same power because she should have melted for a significant amount of time again. And just because it’s explained, it doesn’t mean it’s ‘good’. It is far from ‘good’. It’s far from interesting. It’s emotional baiting, a cheap shit trick by this show to move us when it doesn’t.

      1. エル July 2, 2014

        I’m sorry if I may seem like provoking you, which I certainly have no intention to do, but you don’t really seem so “unmoved” as you say…-) In fact, it’s just the contrary.-) The anger against the show just proves how much it affected your feelings. Of course not in a positive way, that much I won’t put under doubt, but generally speaking it didn’t leave you indifferent now, did it? I honestly don’t believe that any “blunt”, cliche-filled, inferior show can arouse such profound emotional response. Not to mention the fact that in even made you want to read the manga (!) to see for your self “if it really was that bad” (an intention quite unlikely to appear after finishing a blunt and dumb show). My point is that maybe we shouldn’t just condemn the show to misery and disgrace so peremptory on sole basis that someone died who we didn’t want to, or did so not the way we expected… I myself agree that this show has quite a number drawbacks, and even agree with you on some of the ones you pointed out, like the plot consistency or continuity or logic. What I want to ask is: was it really that bad?-) To my opinion, despite all the cons it still had its pros, and stood on equal footing with some of the other fine shows of the season bygone in terms of “enjoyability”. Yes, the plot was way weaker than in could given all the premises, but there was a phrase I saw once and never forget ever since, about the plots in anime: “if you’re watching it for the plot, you’re doing it wrong”. I honestly can’t name many animes in sci-fi with really decent plots, having ingenuity, intrigue and consistency. Can you? Putting plot aside, the characters here were good, especially Kazumi, whose death has put you into the depths of despair (just as well as me when I saw the scene!), and, let’s speak frankly, you really liked her because there were a couple of good fan-service scenes with her in eps 4 and 8?-) I think so. And so did I. Shameful as it may seem, I must admit that I really enjoy proper fan-service, and this show offered a level of strait-forwardness rare to be seen in other shows. So, basically, yes, I believe Kazumi alone was more than enough of a motivation and remuneration for me to approve the entire time spent of this show (although there were other characters and moments that I liked). Maybe you were just too overflown with emotions and rushed with your final judgment?-)
        PS. Please forgive my poor non-native English.-)

    So I stopped watching this show around episode 4 or so…but as a creepy lurker I continued to read your posts on it week to week, lured in by hilarious all-caps post titles. I always got a good kick out of reading what you had to say. I imagine I’d have suffered from the same blinding rage you did and am filled with relief that I didn’t keep watching. That being said, I loved Elfin Lied (for the most part) so it’s a shame this series didn’t turn out so well.

    Thanks for hanging in there for the entire run Oki!
