Platinum End s production downturn becomes all more apparent this week. As Nick Dupree writes, "I have literally seen anime make office board meetings more interesting than this. It s that bad."
I forgot this show s default brand of tragedy is so clumsy and heartless that it turns into unintentional comedy. But here we are with our newest antagonist being the god damn Ugly Barnacle. Amazing.
The script feels intimately familiar with the machinations of a conniving megalomaniac who s happy to murder and scheme his way to godhood, but the average teenager is an enigma of vagaries and platitudes.
