Gjakuten sekai no denči šódžo

I feel as if someone had put ordinary dry bread covered in ketchup in my hands and claimed it was a new and original recipe. What do I mean? Well, I guess that for an original Japanese anime television series, the basic story and plotline development is very run-of-the-mill, predictable, and clichéd. I felt like I had already seen a lot of such anime series before, and nothing (especially the ending) surprised me at all. It had some energy, though, and I enjoyed the passion that the narrative and its characters (logically, except for the main male protagonist) exuded. It was probably the main reason I gave this mecha anime series a chance, even though I am not usually into this genre. Even the setting seemed promising to me. It is just that when the foundation is dry bread, even ketchup cannot possibly make it delicious. 4.8/10. (27.12.2021)
