Back to Dumb-Dumb's Profile Dumb-Dumb's Profile

You know, they had a really good thing going here, boy meets girl or girl meets boy whatever order you want to take it, they're like hanging out, having a good time, girl learns how to love, the dude is dealing with some stuff in the past, you know good stuff. Really good premise for the characters to work out their pasts and move on and develop as human beings. BUT, I had to stop watching by the 9th episode as they dropped this disgusting, absolutely disturbing sex scene. They're not even married and they're like in the bedroom with all the flowers showing, the ... sweet music playing like it's supposed to be something sweet and cute. I don't know what kind of demons were behind this show but I hope they're repenting right now for this mess.

This review is based on 8 episodes. ---CONTAINS SPOILERS---

Story: 5 - Really good start, but then it kinda goes off the rail with the whole suicide law.

Art: 4 - Nothing special, pretty good at times, when needed.

Sound: 4 - Nothing stood out. Nothing was really bad.

Character: 8 - Main character is pretty good, somewhat of a fresh breath of air from your typical school boy saving the world archetype. Main villain has some interesting abilities, however, no real motives are established apart from just being a straight up psychopath.

Enjoyment: 5 - Really disliked the whole suicide debate and politics in general. I feel like that ... could've been done in a far better way, focusing more on the villain and the politics could be the secondary thing.

Overall: 5 - Strong start, some good parts in the middle, but overall the politics kinda ruined it, feel like it could've been done a lot better. Looking forward as to how they're going to end the show.


I feel like this show would've been so much better if they've focused more on the main protagonist and the antagonist of the show, leave the politics as the secondary thing, leave them as something Ai could manipulate and have her way with it. By doing so, you could establish her motives more easily, give her a more fleshed out backstory as to why she's doing what she's doing. Because now it seems like all she wants is chaos. While the pure chaotic antagonist can be cool, she isn't given that much screen time, which is taken up by the politics and the whole suicide debate (which is really stupid in my opinion).

Also more fleshed out development on the main character would be appreciated since he goes through some rough shit. He sees almost everyone in his unit wiped out and sees her colleague hacked up into pieces by Ai during her live stream. That ought to fuck shit up for you. Could be good if her wife kinda stepped in, giving him moral support, but that kinda didn't happen, they just hanged out at the zoo without the guy showing any PTSD. You would think after going through what he went through you would have some breakdowns in front of your family, but I guess he's more of a man than me :)

The main aspect of the show seems to be the suicide debate, in which recently appointed mayor Itsuki Kaika, has established a suicide law, shortly after, a lot of people jump off a building to their deaths.

Weeks later, a debate takes place in a studio in which a few candidates who are against the law make their claims, but all that was swept aside when Kaika's son comes out, saying his dad wants to commit suicide. Then A TWIST happens when Kaika reveals that he is the kids' dad, and he's the one who wants to commit suicide in order to donate his own heart to his son.......... A couple of things that is very, very retarded with this. If i recall correctly, there are these cards in Japan that you can fill and after you die, your organs get donated (no one brought this point up by the way) . You're meaning to tell me, instead of searching for a donor that way, you're just going to straight up sacrifice yourself to the kid?

SECOND. A lot of people just suddenly wrote to the live debate saying how they would donate their own heart to the kid too... When was the last time a complete stranger sacrificed himself for another human being? Maybe once since the beginning of time?

Before the debate, only 3% of the population were for the law, after the debate, everyone had their hearts moved at the INCREDIBLE arguments presented by Dumbfuck Kaika and now it's half the population in favour of the law.

Then on 8th episode it shows one of the best fantasy sections of the anime: a shy computer nerd hooks up with a 10/10 model who he met in game and taught her about the game, who encourages him to be more confident because he's really good at video games and later on that man marries the woman, has a kid with her and becomes the president of the United States. I... don't even know...

Before I end, I really liked the feeling of the spell Ai puts men under. Before suicide, one of the colleagues describing the feeling as: Constantly having sex, but not wanting to ejaculate, but at the same time, the climax would be so incredibly good, you cannot just keep going... The sex part is living, the ejaculating part is killing yourself. THAT really clicked and made so much sense and kinda made me sympathize with the victims.
