Spoilers ahead, but I know you probably won't watch this dumpster fire, considering it's in my Abysmal Garbage section, so get ready to hear an Oscar-worthy in-depth analysis on how fucking garbage this anime is from the first episode alone:
OKAY. DAMN ME IF THIS DOESNT WIN ME AN OSCAR BUT LET ME GO THROUGH EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN THE FIRST EPISODE STEP-BY-FUCKING-SETP:
First event: When she was at the shoe rack thingy that Japanese people love using for some reason, when she had her finger clipped and one of the bullies threatened to record, I say, LET HER RECORD. Or at least attempt to get her to record it by using basic backwards reverse psychology such as "oh no please don't record" in that annoying high-pitched voice of hers. Then afterwards when the bullies post it and trust me, they will, she could've record that recording once she was at home and finished being beaten up by her.... Brother? (We'll talk more about that later). So then once she's got the evidence then take it to your local police department under the guise of calling in sick and going back to school in order to get important paperwork or homework or whatever excuse she can muster, then have the police department (a local one) identify the voices as indeed theirs, and then sue the ever-living FUCK out of their families for emotional distress, psychological damage, and whatever else the law will give leniency to a woman with. Okay? Yay! Onwards then.
Second event: Tell the damn teacher that an art student or some student that had a haul of mayonnaise for lunch accidentally dropped it all over the desk and chair or whatever if you're that much of a bitch of telling the appropriate authorities on what's been happening to you by those reaaaaly unrealistic bullies (they exist, but A LOT LESS COMMON than you think). The teacher, judging by his demeanor, would be confused but ultimately be like "ookkk, you can sit in another spot, (imagine him saying that in Japanese, or the joke won't work).
Third event: Basically same thing, I didn't know why she didn't decide to fight back at that point. I get that the mangaka, is attempting (emphasis on the "attempt") to make an innocent character the audience is supposed to root for, and, by twisted accordance, you sort of did---while making me hate everything at the same time. The moment her head was dunk into the toilet bowl is the moment when she should've fought back even if it was fatal, not stupidly remanince about 'oh how saddd' her life is. Also, shouldn't there be a teacher or student or something that uhhh I dunno notices this stuff?? You're telling me to suspend my disbelief while not introducing an ioda of a fact that anyone else could have helped????
Fourth event: Hollyyyy shit.. To put into perspective how dumb this is, I want you to envision a standard Japanese house/structural complex. Each wall is roughly not that thick, anything above a silent washing machine would be easily heard throughout halfway-through the entire house. (From personal experience:) If you even tried silently heating up a snack in the microwave at the middle or anytime near the evening, if you didn't stop the microwave from reaching zero by clicking it at the 1 second mark, then golly would a nuclear ballistic warhead missile national alarm would blare throughout the house causing every adult within a 20-feet radius to wake up and scold you as you make your way to bed....... Now........ Oh gooooolllllly jolly merry white holidays halloween april fools st patricks day of the land of the home of the fucking free........ How are you telling me, that a brother STRANGLING his own SISTER, laughing like a damn maniac, "relieving his stress" whatever that fucking means, isn't enough to WARRANT THE ATTENTION OF BOTH THE PARENTS AAANDDDD THE NEIGHBORS???? HOW IN THE EVER-LIVING (respectfully) CLUSTERFUCK DO YOU EXPECT ME TO IMAGINEEEENATION THAT BULLSHIT??? To put it simply, in professional terms; it is undoubtedly unrealistic and quite bullcrap.
Fifth event: I kid you not, I promise you this on everyones soul except mine including the dude reading this right now, that I absolutely did not watch this ever and am writing my honest feelings not even seconds after watching the clusterfuck that was this series. So, during the scene where the main girl was saying some hospitality bullshit like "you and me, were both the same aren't we? *Insert sad super sad music** I jokingly said "oh yeah, and the bully's gonna magically show up after school hours and listen in on the conversation and kill the cat by dumping it on the railroad or something haha" .........dear reader, would you like to bet a million clams on what possibly irrefutablly happened next? If you said nothing, then I won the bet, because THAT EXACT SAME THING HAPPENS NOT TOO LONG AFTERWARDS. WOOOOOOOOOWWWWWE. I MUST BE A FORTUNE TELLER HUH? A FORTUNE TELLER FOR BULLLLLLSSSHHIIIIIIIIITTTTTTA. I feel mentally violated by this anime, I want my 4 hours back :(
Sixth event: Uhhh from this point on I'm not too sure if this is in order but I think it is and when I think something is, it usually probably is, it's like getting angry at a machine that predicts winning lottery tickets 80% of the time, sure, it's right most of the time, but hey, that 20% must be pretty big on the losing side huh? Anyways, attempted non consensual sensual scene woohooo!!! Even though my heart spoke out since I'm a gentleman at heart and don't want to see any fictional character I find remotely hot in an anime series compared to the rest of the cast get their first kiss or anything, you can only imagine the mental gymnastics I had to do when my mind and heart were in a constant battle of attrition. My heart said no but my mind said "yes son, fuck that bitch". I question my own existence sometimes so that's why this ATTEMPTED non consensual scene is sponsored by raid shadow lege--
Seventh event: She got her magical powers, yippee. And she killed the bullies. Yippee.
I'm going to not spoil the episodes in case someone wants to witness this spectaculae themselves. I am somewhat proud of my growing catalogue of Abysmal Garbage section. Warning other potential innocent's to waste their entire 4 hours (1ep = 20min [] 2ep = 40min [] 3ep = 1hrs [] //// if u don't understand the math from here, you're re--). I wanted to write a longer review on the anime page itself but there are other people who have taken it upon themselves to througoynly refer to various points throught the series as a whole that I will not waste my time doing. Aside from that, have a great rest of your midday dear reader. I could have condensed this into something more digestible, BUTTT it's like 3am in the morning so don't expect much right now. Peace out. E.
