parting thoughts on rhyme anima s2

was it good? no. was it hypmic? also no. did i enjoy the hell out of it anyway? HELL YEAH for the most part

look i don't think it's controversial to say the rhyme anima characterization is eighteen flavors of fucked, but you know what? the blorbos are moving and talking and being silly and that's a fun enough time for me

yeah there are moments of mischaracterization that are egregiously bad, but i guess overall i don't. idk. fully regret watching

really bummed that the 'main' plot is actually quite compelling but just completely misplaced imo. like the whole thing with akira and satoru could have been such a good story on its own, in an original series, while here in the ridiculous clownfest that is rhyme anima it just feels so out of place

i'll never really understand why the anime refuses to just adapt the drama tracks but whatever. it just feels strange and... impractical? to have bits of the 'main' canon sprinkled in here and there with like. zero payoff lol (like what was that glimpse of the ramuda clones that was just NEVER ADDRESSED AGAIN, and are we really not going to let certain people talk to their fathers and a certain other person talk to their mother like hello)

anyway

tl;dr laughably bad but it's the blorbos so fine whatever. i guess i liked it. (i didn't. but let's pretend)

#crab watches #hypmic #parting thoughts #in all fairness there was at least like one yamada family moment that was kind of endearing and felt on point #(saburo being kind of bratty in the 3gumi ep)#and in all fairness 2 i'm not actually expecting dice to talk to otome in the first place lmao #but it's all just. idk. it's fucking weird i guess #that this was set after the 2nd drb #for no particular reason as far as i can tell?? like #if they'd just pushed this in BEFORE 2nd drb #it would have made more sense that a lot of these plot points are... not yet addressed?#though i guess that would come with its own problems lol #like if set pre 2nd drb then really they would've had to do bb seeing rei for the first time #but simply NOT ADDRESSING IT and setting it after 2nd drb is TOO FUCKING FUNNY #ok. anyway. whatever. retreating to the safety of main canon now
