Youjo's Crits and Reviews

The new staff is basically trying to be super nuanced and metaphysical about a gag anime that started in 1966. The jokes are weak, and they're talking about heavier topics. I don't think they're trying to be a comedy animated, anymore. in episode 4 they tackled the issue of being a divorced single parent, but then follows up with a joke that kind of pissed me off. I liked everything about the bit, but tackling such a serious topic to have it end like that was in poor taste. but in episode 5 they had the boys do more contemplating about how their lives are going and what they want for their futures in terms of relationships. I think I was right about what I said about season 2, about how we see everything through such a heterosexual cisgender lens, but that's because we're only seeing the world through their lens. They have a strict social structure that they are only reflecting off of, and the reason why we only see heterosexuality and cisgenderism is because that&#

I just found out that they rewrote season one in season 3 or 4. It's like they didn't give a shit about season 1.  The guy that triggered the events of season one came back to life later on. The two people that died in season 1 also came back to life. The big red demon that Meliodas initially killed that was gathered for the demon blood that they drank and season one was erased in season two or three. I t would have been too much to ask to not have everything linked together and just have serendipitous events. Emily always just has mood swings at this point. They kind of talk about how his mental health has been affected by watching his love die over and over again, but they don't really get into it. Reasonably speaking, shouldn't this kid be all the way fucked up? This show is so disregarding of its own war and it has the audacity to want a sequel.
