Finally, in the penultimate episode, the plot is kicking into high gear. By kicking into high gear, I mean blaming it on the formerly ambiguous villain, who’s now straight on campy and evil to a bizarrely enjoyable degree. The plot’s thin as can be and almost nonsensical and too convenient with its twists and turns, [...]
To get things out of the way, no I didn’t write anything about the previous week of Sacred Seven. Not only did I watch it a week later than I should’ve, but I couldn’t for the life of me think of anything remotely worth mentioning about the damn episode. It furthered no plots, writing play [...]
Sorry that this post was put up later than usual. It’s just that after watching this episode of Sacred Seven, I couldn’t for the life of me think of anything interesting to say. Seriously, I wracked my brain for two days trying to find a way to say in none too succinct a manner that [...]
This week, Sacred Seven tried and failed to present a moral dilemma for its characters. It could’ve actually worked if they didn’t have our apparently exercise-obsessed villain outright state “Ahaha! We are so evil, but now Ruri and Alma might find out that we’re the real bad guys!” at the end. Thank you, Sacred Seven, [...]
With what I assume were the writers being whipped back into line in regards to finishing this damn show, Sacred Seven has returned to its main plot… or its resemblance to a plot. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll miss the troll opening that gg threw in. I know that I did.
Wow is Sacred Seven either lazy or uninspired. I could just leave this episodic at that and move on, but I’m a writer on this site for a reason, and that’s to provide episodic reviews more than one sentence in length. How lazy is Sacred Seven by episode five? The past two episodes have been [...]
With each passing week, Sacred Seven keeps hovering around the line of mediocrity. Once more, its silly elements that are a joy to watch in their ridiculous glory are balanced by drama that isn’t all that compelling, and action that ends way too quickly. Unfortunately by now, the meido army gimmick has worn out its [...]
After the middling followup to the somewhat promising first episode, Sacred Seven seemed poised to be completely average in every respect, with very little focus on a main story. I can’t say that this episode completely dispelled that, but it gave a possibility for something more than the sum of its parts. And all it [...]
It’s pretty well established that Sacred Seven is on the fence as far as taking itself too seriously goes. On one hand, you have heartfelt drama and a dark past that makes Alma thinking he’s the equivalent of the Hulk more believable. On the other, you have a maid combat force and a girl jumping [...]
Hello, here be Lemmi writing his first initial impressions post for Rabbit Poets, and here’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for; the spiritual successor to Code Geass. Oh sure, they play it off as an entirely different series, but it has all the Code Geass trademarks: Dichromatic eyes, ninja maids, roller skating mechs, and [...]
