| Robazoid 07/03/22 3:31:30 PM #74: | Watched the first episode of Luminous Witches. I'm curious to see which wins out, my love of idol anime or my dislike of the Strike Witches universe. It's just such a boring setting and I can't believe it now has two spinoffs. It's a ripoff of World War II but the Germans have been replaced with aliens so they can have German stereotype characters without offending anyone and so that the Japanese aren't on the side of evil. I'll never understand why so many alternate universe/alternate history stories seem to go out of their way to parallel real world history. It's an alien invasion, you can do literally anything, but sure let's open Luminous Witches with an exact replica of Dunkirk. The Neuroi suck too, they have zero personality and are just shapeshifting blobs that explode if they get shot in the right place. Luminous Witches is about magical idols helping morale from behind the front lines, though, so I'm really hoping this episode is the last we see of the actual war effort. Please just be about wartime idols from now on. Summer ranking so far: Lycoris Recoil Phantom of the Idol Teppen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luminous Witches --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** ... Copied to Clipboard! |
