Episode 1
It looked good. But dang if the main character is weirdly unlikable, as someone who is a deadbeat and seeming parasite to those around him. Even his undercutting of the other people by putting his rate to do the job seemed shitty, by means that he is pretty much making it unprofitable, and still in the end still caused collateral damage that spoiled it. I don't know if he is meant to be intriguingly independent for not doing things like others, because he is clearly not independent. And kind of came across as frustratingly irresponsible. |

Ep. 2
Attempted assassination of a politician giving a speech. I'm stunned that they aired this, this weekend. WTH was the Teppen! episode about that a Manzai comedy show couldn't air their show but this did? |

My only guess would be the setting since the assassin in this case is a demon-possessed human in a very fictionalized future version of the world that isn't based in reality. I know it's a stretch, but that's the only thing that I can come up with. |

With luck, by the time Kisara finishes sucking out all of Shu's memories of Ayano, she'll be obsessed with her instead and kick him to the curb.

 A sudden yuri switch would be alright by me. We still haven't seen how Shu and Kisara met have we? I actually have to ask because my memory is so bad it's possible the obligatory flash back has already been shown and I've simply forgotten it. I wonder if I made a contract with a memory eating demon... hmmm....

Episode 13 (finale)
In a final rundown of the season. Shu lost all his memories, got them sucked out, but then Kisara gave back all his memories including what she had left of her own as she had actually been burning up her own memories. Then they fight against Shu's sister, who was possessed by a demon (I think Lilith), who was actually the sister's mother and had replaced Shu's real mother, who was going to use the sister to open a gate to hell, as to release demons for evil demon reasons. And I will say the end got me a little uncomfortable when Shu was making the moves on the born yesterday Kisara (mind wipe). And then they just throw in Shu's sister having broken out, and now just acts as a third side of women possessive over Shu, now able to act like a normal person not locked away since 3 years old, and Kisara acts just like she did before. I don't know, I just really was not entertained by that although maybe nice that some characters can be happy. You know, I might be happy about this of this show, like its sexuality, but that would only be if Shu was not such a turnoff of a main character, to be certain he isn't just a loser by circumstance he does gamble away money at pachinko. And also that one of his main love interests is a high school girl that financially supports him, which is made an innocent amnesiac at towards the end. As mentioned above, there might have been something interesting if she gained his feelings for his other squeeze as she gained those memories. As weird as that all sounds, I don't know what to think of this show, I am weirdly backwards and forwards at getting a full thought about it. Maybe something worth mentioning is I think something interesting was the sort of wacky delivery service, where he could spend a lot of money to get something there quickly. But looking at the big picture, that part kind of sticks out like a sore thumb in comparison to the rest of the tone of the series. Kind of makes me think that they perhaps could have leaned into that more, where their society has a bunch of similar wacky capitalist parts, with how that would connect to people selling their souls to demons. There might have been something there if it wanted to do something about economic inequality. In some ways it wasn't that bad, such that it could look nice and stuff, but just the bits like its direction hurt the parts that were okay, such that being less than the sum of its parts. My rating will be So-so (5/10). Arguably it did catch my attention, but not in a way that I would want to say decent. |
