Episode 6: The Song that Pities the Demon
This episode can blow me.
Infact, I dare say that I am tempted to write this entire show off as edgy nonsense after this.
You know, I had my suspicions up to now, but I tried really, really hard to give this show the benefit of the doubt in terms of things it was trying to do with its story. But we are 6 episodes into a 24 episode show and my patience is dropping.
The entire message of this episode is that you're better off never believing in the good of others, and that it's better to suffer in silence because then you're better serving society as a whole, and with the added bonus that you should never seek a light at the end of the tunnel, because it'll just get ripped away anyway.
And it's at this point I gotta ask... why should I give any sort of crap what this anime has to say about society as a whole when the show itself offers me nothing to stand by? If I wanna get told how utterly trash life is, all I gotta do is turn on the news, or talk to the racist half of my family. If I feel like being talked down to for DARING to have any sort of hope in life, I'd go to social media.
Ontop of that, alot of its events and character moments ring really hallow when this show has so far offered me basically no one to root for. And anyone in the cast who has any sort of redeeming quality is out and out punished for daring to not be an edgy loner piece of garbage like what Joseph is. Heck, the only character who so much as had an arc is now dead thanks to the events of this episode, something I imagine is going to be a continuing trend.
So now I again need to ask... why should I care? It's become clear that this show is far more concerned with preaching dread than it is telling a fulfilling story, and that is no more prevalent than with how this very show starts; Just throwing you right into the thick of this world without any sort of easing in or introduction to the characters or the world that they inhabit. I BARELY know most of these characters, making it really hard to say "Wow, that moment really furthered their development" or anything of the like.
With this, plus the Netflix Godzilla Trilogy, someone please, PLEASE tell me this isn't the sort of Nihilistic manure I should expect out of

. Because if it is... I... I don't think I should even bother watching it. I am still going to do my best to finish

, but man, this episode really tanked my motivation. Actually speaking of which, why in the world would you name your show after a character whom is apparently just completely unimportant to the narrative at large? "Lol you actually liked Gerd well screw you Joseph is the real hero despite having done NOTHING to improve the situation at all! GOTCHA!"
Urobochi, or whoever is responsible for this mess, screw you.
