Greetings YouTube. I’m racing ahead in the video. Still lots to do, but I’m really looking forward to how angry I make all of you. I promise, for some of you, my jokes will result in death threats.
On Wuthering Waves, I am shocked so many people agreed with me about how awful it can be - even fans! We’re all banded together. They really should have redone the story from the ground up. Some asked to see how I reacted, and I have uploaded the two streams of Wuthering Waves to my VOD channel, but sadly no highlight reel - you’ll have to jump to the last 10-15 min if you wanna see me get filtered by the writing.
But also - new anime season! I’ve already gone over the new anime season shows on stream, but only watched two of them, Wild Last Boss, and Yuri Vore Adventures (Watashi wo Tabetai, Hitodenashi).
Wild Boss is Overlord at home - which isn't necessarily bad, but it's clearly what the show is inspired by. However, often a ‘Overlord clone’ screws up the core element that made Overlord work - how the MC is kinda mind-broken into being ruthless by being undead. The clones most often go with the ‘MC looks bad but is actually nice’ trope, which fundamentally misses what made Overlord work. This Wild Boss show however has signs of the MC being mentally altered by the transfer, but its early days. Conceptually I don’t think we’ll see her - the MC - ‘being evil’ it’ll probably just be aura farming and others misunderstanding her intentions, but I could be wrong. Also it being a ‘her’ does add some novelty, so it gets points for that. Either way, recommended for now, it’ll show its hand within the next 2-3 episodes.
Yuri Vore is very beautifully animated. The short of the story: local depressed teen girl who wishes to sleep with the fishes might have her wish granted by a hungry mermaid - one very particular about the timing of said dish. Depressed yuri romance is on the table, but in this first ep it didn't jump the shark on that aspect, no random passionate make out or anything. Plenty of mystery, plenty of options to develop the story, and I’m invested. However many of these shows start with good premises and get lost in the sauce, so we’ll see if they can navigate the turbulent ocean of monster-girl-yuri-vore.
Also tried catching up on Go Go Loser ranger and - wow, they dropped the pacing ball HARD in season 2. Good lord, if you’re considering it, probably go straight to the manga after S1.
And Zenless was actually fun. Played it on stream after the trainwreck that was Wuthering Waves. Still have another stream before I can make any firm calls - I’d rather finish chapter 1 - but I’m enjoying myself for now (the jiggle physics are revolutionary).
