We get the point, Akihito.
Two episodes into this show, and while it’s still about a fetish for meganekkos, the show’s also gotten quite a bit darker (both in atmosphere and tint). Whoever edited the Wikipedia article describing this show as a “dark fantasy” is obviously a psychic. Or they just read the source material, that’s a likely possibility as well.
Actually it’s a show about performing in front of tadpoles.
I watched WA1 (starring Hirano Aya as one of the LIs prior to her sexy scandal) when it came out in 2009, and it was a piece of shit. The main character possibly took some sort of inspiration from John Lennon; he formed the antithesis to most male harem leads, making it his life goal to sleep with as many females as possible, morals be damned. The show was so bad that I dropped it after he inexplicably seduced the fourth woman, and I didn’t think anything of the matter.
Then 2013 rolled around, and it was announced that WA2 would be getting an anime adaptation. No big deal, you say. Well, WA2 is actually one of the highest rated visual novels in the history of ever (on the VN version of imdb, anyway). Of course, the Japanese never made a decent video game that didn’t involve trapping animals in tiny balls, but the fact that this game managed to get an adaptation did pique my interest a teeny tiny bit. So, here we are.
The premise of this entire show.
“I really hate meganekkos (tl note: meganekkos means glasses-wearing girl)”, said no one ever in the history of the world. And that is what this show is about. Girls wearing glasses. The demon-slaying and school life segments are merely a sideshow. After the gloriousness of Hyouka, Kyoani embarked on a shameful journey consisting of chuunis and homoerotic swimmers. But that’s all in the past. Get ready for… Hyouka Part 2: Glasses-wearing Demon Hunters.
