You got that right, Narumi: your life is so meaningless. No hyperbole or exaggeration, but this episode nearly put me to sleep. Hell, what was it even about? Between this and “Dantalian no Shoka,” I’m not sure which anime is turning out to be more disappointing. They both had promising starts, but ugh… the last few episodes in either series have been real snoozers.
Plot? What plot?
I’m like that “Where’s the beef” lady, but instead of a sorry looking burger, I’m staring at an anime with no plot. The anime says there’s a plot — something about a fishy promotion gig — but just look! There’s no plot at all! There’s just the NEET Detective Group doing laundry. Nope, they’re not investigating a mystery; they’re doing laundry.
There’s just Narumi taking pictures of capybaras at the zoo:
There’s just Narumi (and Ayaka) creating fliers and taking pictures of clubs:
There’s just Narumi meeting a “Yu-Gi-Oh!” reject and buying him clothes:
And do you want to know what the worst part about this episode is? It’s Yondaime, a yakuza group leader, talking about fabric:
They’re talking about fabric, man. What are they talking about? They’re talking about fabric. We ain’t talking about a mystery. We’re talking about fabric, man. When you download the anime, and you see tough yakuza guys, you want to see some action, don’t you? But they’re talking about fabric.
This arc’s “mystery” doesn’t show up until the episode is nearly over: it seems as though some imposters are masquerading as the Hirasaka Group. This, however, lasts all of two minutes.
Heaven’s memo pad
The name of this anime has ‘heaven’ in the name — not ‘Ambien,’ but ‘heaven.’ Now, I’m sorry if I got the wrong idea somehow, but where’s the goddamn intrigue? Where’s this heavenly memo pad, literally or figuratively? Where are the mysteries? Hell, where is the heroine?
Hey look, it’s Alice on the cover of one of the light novels. So where the hell is she in the anime? Why isn’t she doing anything but washing stuffed animals and throwing soda cans at Narumi?
God, what a useless anime.
It seems my decision to drop this series two episodes ago was correct…First panties and now fabrics. Man, those are truly modern mysteries.
The detective for the 21st century! She solves crimes using only the internet! *is molested by her friends in every single episode*
God, imagine if “Serial Experiments Lain” was made nowadays. We’d probably have scenes of her going onto the Wired just to buy panties with cute bears on them.
I thought No.6 was sort of gay, but this show takes the NY Gay Rights Wedding Cake (I’m for gay rights btw). It’s just so bad. I’d like to punch and kick it. And then kick and punch it.
I had constantly rewatch scenes because they were so boring. I may as well have stared at a blank wall.
The yakuza fabric talk reminded me of an episode of “dexter’s lab” when he was infiltrating a mod dealing flour, that’s right, flour. I think the fabric talk should be taken seriously, after all, It’s a “serious drama anime”.
Dexter’s got more attitude in him than Narumi ever could.
Word.
This anime is meaningless. NEET Detective neets some gadgets at least. Make sure she is in the scene of the crime… without the means of leaving the room by the means of a video camera and mic… SOMETHING so that she can be really involved!
If not, then Tsundere dominatrixes ruin everything now.
Her gadget is a human pet who does her bidding and sniffs her teddy bears.
Narumi is Part-pet, part-digital gadget, then? (So he must be a virtual Pet)
Narugotchi. Except he has to clean up his own poop too.
He does seem sort of robotic. How else would Roborumi be able to get the virus out of the information-box?
Ugh, this show got worse. After a promising first 2 episodes, it just went downhill. I mean, first an episode about someone stealing Alice’s underwear, and now an episode about fabric?!?! FABRIC?!?!
Man, anime is going downhill. Oh, well. At least there’s still good hentai manga and anime coming out.
