We’ve had the token boob anime, the popular franchise ripoff, the bland shounen, the dreaded 4-koma adaptation, the Shaft, the sequel to that show you’ve been meaning to watch since forever, and the anime that starts off promising but devolves into wacky harem hijinks and completely loses sight of what made people like it in the first place. Now it’s time for the bishiefest of the season. Boy, don’t you just hate it when bloggers boil everything down is to tired tropes?
Somewhere over the course of the 2 and a half years since Bakemonogatari aired, I had forgotten how utterly strange this anime is. It’s one of those little anomalies that can only exist in anime. How something with such out-there animation and artwork, with rambling and self-referential dialogue, can become the massive hit that it was. Nisemonogatari was all that again, for better or for worse.
Bodacious? Really? I still preferred it when they were originally calling it Mini-Skirt Space Pirates. At least that’s actually a more accurate representation of the anime in question. There was a rather sad lack of bodacity if you ask me. Anyway, let’s put the perplexing title aside and talk about the anime in question.
I could be watching Shinbo in his most unrestrained form with Nisemonogatari. I could be watching the most hyped show on twitter with Bodacious Pirates. But no, instead I am watching Highschool DxD. And I am determined to like it.
Sometimes a new season throws you a fascinating looking new anime, with shiny graphics, intriguing synopsis and a hugely talented crew behind it. Other times, it decides to vomit dead babies on your lap. Kill Me Baby is the latest offering by esteemed animation studio JC Staff (and by esteemed I mean “haven’t produced anything of worth since Nodame Cantabile”) in a season where they are also producing 5 other anime. 4 of which are sequels, which have proved popular enough to warrant them in the first place, and the ambitious anime original romcom Ano no Natsu, all of which obviously are getting more budget than Kill Me Baby. Better yet, it’s adapted from a 4-koma. With my excitement reaching fever pitch, I dove into this pile of feces.
After some deliberation, I decided that Deadman Wonderland is just bad enough to enter the ‘terribad’ territory.
