The Three Behemoths, fin

Wow, that was terrible. You might think they’d have put aside some budget for the big battle to defeat the demon army and save the world, but you would be wrong. You might think that Our Hidden Behemoth’s true nature might, y’know, come up when facing an overpowering enemy who Knows Things, but you would be wrong. You might hope that they’d have focused all their efforts on Our Heroic Hotties and not on the insane gay couple, but you would be spectacularly wrong.

You might even think they’d have rewarded the viewers with a fully animated nipplicious bath scene that took up more than a minute, or done something, anything with the incredibly valuable magic tree and magic pond in their yard, but you would be left scratching your head wondering why they were ever mentioned in the first place.

Verdict: what little potential it had at the start was gone by the end. Okay, “well before the end”. Bottom line, it’s hard to adapt a story that was never finished, and that abandoned its premise so early. It’s hard to care about Tama secretly being a Behemoth when everyone takes one look at his transformation and decides he’s holy.

(Duke of York is unrelated, but I just don’t feel like manufacturing more AI fan-art for this turkey)

Solo Leveling 2, episode 11

I’m sure everyone will be stunned to learn that The Big Battle doesn’t go as planned. Between J Random Spear-Carrier losing her head last week and the inevitable betrayal by the Japanese team, events have now escalated to the point that only Our Solo Hero can save the day. Next week.

Verdict: I’m willing to overlook the clumsy CGI integration for the army of ants, but less willing to forgive the frequent shortcuts taken with what should be one of the biggest set pieces of the series.

(some people know a Best Girl when they see one…)

A-Rank Adventure Harem, clip episode

I can only say two good things about this filler: there are clean pictures of the girls that should improve the available LoRAs, and they didn’t use any footage of the asshole party.

Verdict: it doesn’t count as episode 10, so the show has three weeks left.
