Oh boy, oh boy. Babel the Second! Where do I even begin? Never have I seen a show so devoid of life. Not a single character had depth. Not a single soundtrack was memorable. Not a single event makes sense.
Each character has the depth of a plastic spoon. Their motives are confusing-- in fact, do they have even a motive? You can't follow what they're saying, because you can't follow the plot!
I'm 10 episodes in, watching the show with two other people, and none of us have any idea what is going on. Why was so much emphasis placed upon Hades just for it
...
to never be mentioned outside of episode 1? Why did the dad bother raising Babel in secrecy? Why did Babel and his "cousin" blush at each other like lovers? What is the blonde guy's name? Why doesn't Babel use Loprose and Lodem more often? What are Babel's powers? Nothing is clear!
The opening is a mess. It's fun to make fun of the "never die!!" line, but really, aside from that, there is nothing redeeming about it. The only other memorable track would be the random opera song that plays in the background of scenes that do not need opera whatsoever.
Oh kill me, the art. Everyone falls off model. My friends and I have accumulated a collection of hideous Babel screenshots-- it's so bad. The hair is stilted. The eyes are lopsided. The mouths are constantly agape. The animation on Lodem is atrocious! And please do NOT get me started on all of the reused animation. Please.
Oh boy, oh boy. Babel the Second! It has done literally nothing right. So do I recommend it? Absolutely. The dub is horrendous, the animation is cancer, the music is terrible, the characters are flat. This show is every ironic memester's wet dream. If you love shows that are so bad they're good, I implore you to watch this god awful show.
