Worst ending I've ever seen in a show. Right before this I finished Beyond the Boundary and that had a crap ending, but it was just saccharine sweet bullshit that ruined the last minute or so of the show, but this goes above and beyond that.

Jormungand is a show about an arms dealer planning and maneuvering to execute her master plan to save the world from war. The problem? Her plan is fucking assinine. The entire show hints at this super complex incredibly important end game that's the reason we've been sneaking around and orchestrating all these different conflicts, and then ... the plan makes no fucking sense whatsoever.

I don't know what to say other than that. The entire story leads up to the reveal, but even the slightest amount of critical thinking will tell you that the plan will never work, has too many drawbacks, and the main drawback mentioned (not to spoil, but its a fucking humdinger) could be mitigated with a little extra effort.

The entire show this wonder squad of badasses has been nigh untouchable and 50 moves ahead of the opposition. No one ever pulls a fast one over on the main characters, and they just mow through any and all opposition without a thought.

There are no stakes, and it throws all logic and character development under the bus at the last minute.

As soon as the reveal happened this went from an 8/10 to a 3/10.

I sat down expecting some generic moeblob slice of life kind of thing and that's more or less what I got.

My problem with Tamako Market however is that unlike really good slice of life series, the characters lives have literally nothing interesting about them and their relationships with each other are nearly non-existent.

In better slice of life shows the characters are doing something interesting (playing in a band for example), have a unique personality or outlook on life, and or have enough chemistry with their companions to evoke any amount of emotion from the audience.

There's a magical talking bird that's exciting! But ... all it does is talk and everyone in the show treats it like it's completely normal, the show taking an insane matrix dive to dodge any kind of intrigue or suspense. Birdo has his own story line but it's very short and incredibly meaningless.

Whatserface MainCharacter-chan is an unremarkable girl leading an unremarkable life. She lives with her father and sister, she goes to school, she helps out in her community. Maybe this show is made for people who have spectacular lives full of skydiving and jetskiing who just want to see how the common people live, but if I wanted to get a peak inside this life I'd... continue to live.

I just really can't recommend this to anyone. If you want slice-of-life moeblob cuteness go (re)watch K-ON or something. This is a bad show, and while it is not offensive in any way, it succeeds in being boring as hell.
