hello and welcome back to kinda neet today we embark on a new expedition into
the deep dark hole where weebs go to die
I think it's about time that I take one for the team so starting today I'm gonna
be watching through the lowest-rated shows and movies that my anime list has
to offer so that you don't have to and what better place to start than with the
absolutely lowest rated entry on my anime list *cough* not including
Tenkuu Danzai skelter plus heaven a mecha sci-fi created by the
world-renowned Satou Yoshiteru of the Idea Factory studio the story if you can
call it that follows a military agency tasked with taking down a mysterious
extraterrestrial entity attacking downtown Tokyo here we go this opening
is actually not bad definitely sets a certain mood I'll have to run a vibe check
later to see if it pays off
her fate which does not get used to by nature machines was left to your hand
what that's the tagline they went with
definitely not the worst OP of all time these look like the character
introductions from visual novels oh right they probably are
if you're wondering why the animation looks like early 2000s video game graphics it's
because it is this OVA is actually just the anime adaptation of a ps2 game of
the same name and I think a lot of the anime is literally just the cutscenes
from the game what I love about the shot they chose to introduce the main
character is that without using any words
we're told absolutely everything there is to know about what she brings to the
table if you click that pen one more time I'm shoving it up your
so far there's nothing like glaringly wrong with this they seem awfully content with
the current situation
hey guys welcome to part 1 of my let's play this is transformers but with girls
I'm on board with this I don't know what people are talking about don't you just
hate it when your mech suit gets all muddy and you have to shower clean it
off what are we doing what is that how is that training what's happening
they've got to be doing this on purpose six and a half hours later
that makes sense, find the weak spot and destroy the thing
that's what I love about good writing is when there's just no subtext and all
you need to know is exactly what the characters are saying it's really great
oh they're like an item that's nepotism
that seems like a pretty reasonable explanation to me you don't want to
loose cannon being in charge of the bazooka do you what is that why is he so
smiley so always with mecha sci-fi
the first thing we need to know is why they can only be piloted by like waifu's or by
kids etc wait what I don't think I've seen any examples of these girls being
above average intelligence for having physical prowess unless you count those
bouncy chairs okay yeah this is getting a bit too complex for a twenty-minute
ova vibe check oh there's that unmatched synthetic intelligence they mentioned
one second I need a drink if I'm gonna finish this okay that's better
I wish the show had a dub though that would be epic they failed step one they
have to figure out what it's weak spot is
what just happened I need to back this up
right so they're back on their training things
and then they're doing balloon blowing competitions of course like you do this is how they
train their cutting-edge artificial humans with the bouncy seats and blowing
balloons I heard this is actually what gave George Lucas the inspiration for
the trench run
no way this is deep stuff who is who in this everyone looks the exact same I've
no idea what's going on oh here we go I think it might be team alien at this
point it's like a squid and those are its tentacles and it's inking oh wait maybe not
what happened how did they beat it they did like the neuro-link for a
second and now it's dead what wait what they succeeded and seemingly only
because she loved the cut the chitchat guy we need so much more information
on what they're talking about for any of this to make sense is this all an experiment
to test their AI waifu's oh now there's a bunch of the little squid things I
guess they're saving that for the sequel
bravo Bravo I mean to be honest for the lowest rated show on My Anime List I was
kind of expecting worse like the CG was you know CG but I really think we can do
worse the story was completely incoherent and the characters were just
not characters but its main issue is just trying to tell the entire plot of
Neon Genesis in one 20 minute OVA but I think I kind of liked it is that crazy
I give this ova 1 bouncy chair out of 10 could use more giant squid I mean as far
as student films go that really wasn't that bad wait excuse me that wasn't made
by an eight grader?
