Low-budget humor


Clueless Crafter, episode 6

Our Impenetrably-Clueless Cleaning Hero mops up the demon army and saves Our Hot-But-Evil Ex-Priestess while Our Crushing Bug-Eyed Princess uses Her Ridiculously OP Sword to take out the Big Bad and save Our Gal Who Wears The Pants In This Harem.

Perhaps next week Kurt will invent a way to animate barely-panned stills and add lip-flaps on a shoestring budget.

Verdict: really cheap, but extra-cheesy.

Robo-Ho, episode 5

Wow, this show gives new meaning to “one-trick pony”, with the humor continuing to be so centered around her easy-off leg that she can’t make it down the hallway at school without slipping on a banana peel. Twice.

That’s after Our Hapless Robo-Nerd wakes up wondering why he’s had yet another sex dream about his sexy naked clinging roommate and tries to reach the tissue box so he can jack off before she wakes up. Fortunately she wakes up before he starts, so we’re spared that sight. Although it would help correct her persistent misunderstanding about what little boys are made of.

It would be understating the case to say that my expectations for this show were low, but it’s getting hard to watch, and we’ve only reached the first day back at school. They’ve gotta do something to bring in the other two gals, and quick. At least they showed the little blue-haired one just before the end credits, but there haven’t been any sightings of merc/lab gal and her squad of robo-clones since the first episode.

Verdict: we’re nearly halfway through the show, and we’ve really only introduced Our Badly-Coupled Couple and Our Overprotective Misinformative Galpal. Not that I’m expecting major plotting in a show that’s only got nine minutes in between the credits…

(there’s basically no fan-art; this is the manga artist, showing off the weak joint that’s effectively a main character)
