Gokukoku no Brynhildr

Venturing into the wilderness, the skeptical Ryouta Murakami and the ambitious Kuroneko were on a quest to prove the existence of extraterrestrial life when a tragic accident occurred, reaping Kuroneko of her life and leaving Ryouta in a critically injured state.

Ten years have passed since the disaster, and Ryouta is now living a normal life in high school. He vows to prove that aliens are real in honor of his late friend. A transfer student named Neko Kuroha unexpectedly arrives one day, bearing a striking resemblance to the late Kuroneko—even sharing a similar name. Most mysteriously, she seems to possess supernatural powers.

As Ryouta takes more interest in Neko, he is drawn into a deadly world where dangerous scientists hunt magic-wielding witches that have escaped from their secret research laboratory. Neko is one of these escapees, but there are many others who are in similar situations, and it's up to Ryouta to protect them from their would-be captors.

I don’t usually write reviews, not at all. In fact, I am pretty sure this is the first one I’m writing. Why I would choose this anime to review first, I’m not sure. I have feelings about it, less clear than I’ve had about others, but this anime, the same one which caused me to create my account, felt like the one to review.

To get straight to the point, I genuinely enjoyed it. I turned my brain off halfway and watched it for the second time since I had first watched and lost it years ago. I haven’t been able to just kick back and ... watch an anime without worrying about dropping it or thinking it was absolutely horrible in a while.

Even though Gokukoku no Brynhildr is a harem anime, featuring an assortment of girls of all kinds, I was also able to enjoy the story aspect. I wouldn’t say there was much comedy, but the character interactions stayed entertaining regardless. A fair bit of interactions and jokes seem to rely on nudity, sex, and the harem aspects, but you get used to it I suppose.

Overall, I wouldn’t praise Gokukoku no Brynhildr too much, as it still had me wondering if some pieces of nudity were really needed, for example, but I would say that it had me entertained.

Mixed Feelings

I recently checked out "Brynhildr in the Darkness" and wanted to share my thoughts. It's one of those shows that falls into the harem category, but it tries to mix in other genres too. Gotta say, it's alright, but it didn't blow me away.

Let's start with the good stuff. The animation is solid, the music sets the mood nicely, and the voice acting is on point. But when it comes to the story, well, it's kind of forgettable. You've got this mishmash of mystical, extraterrestrial, conspiracy, and harem themes all thrown together, and it just doesn't quite gel. The pacing is slow, and it feels ... like there's no real direction to the plot. Basically, it's about a bunch of girls with powers hanging out in a space observatory with one guy, and you can guess where that leads – lots of awkward situations and romantic tension.

And speaking of the characters, they're a mixed bag. The main guy is actually pretty interesting, with his own goals and personality quirks. But some of the girls, especially the main one, are kind of bland. Plus, the show keeps introducing new characters right up until almost the end, which feels like they're just trying to pad out the runtime.

In general, I've always felt that once you're halfway through a story, you should focus on developing the characters you already have, not throwing in new ones. And unfortunately, "Brynhildr in the Darkness" doesn't quite get that memo.

But hey, if you're into harem shows and don't mind a bit of a meandering plot, it might be worth giving this one a shot. Just don't expect it to be a masterpiece or anything.

Cry porn, you go in expecting trash, and it's cry porn trash. None of the characters are more than 2 mm deep and the show expects you to care about them. The big reveal at the end is disappointing and pointless. This show won't leave you wanting more, but you will want to finish it just for the sake of the overarching mystery. No spoiler, but the mystery is trash and it delivers no satisfactory conclusion. The only thing you'll have to say at the end is boo fricken' hoo.
Is it sad? Yes.
Is it good? No, not at all.
Why'd I finish it? The mystery ... element, which delivered nothing.
I cry super easily at good sad cartoons from Japan. This one just isn't good.
