Yes, this little piggy got /fit/, and now every teenage girl within a five-mile radius wants to bang him. Masamune, being a charming young lad, simply oozes with swagger and sex appeal. Yes, yes “it’s about the journey” whatever, except the actual journey towards the non-existent climax is about as fruitful as an average expedition in The Oregon Trail. The presence of a sequel would immediately imply that the ending is prolonged longer than necessary, like a really awkward handshake. It initially appears as a typical romcom, but with a twist ending and nothing more. Oh god, could you imagine a second season of this? This is not any sort of narrative that requires more than twelve episodes to develop.
Why the fuck did they even make this? I feel like a complete idiot for subjugating myself to watching every minute of this mumbo jumbo, which was admittedly okay and non-offensive for several episodes, but after a while it feels like even the writer didn’t know how the revenge was gonna work, so they started making excuses for some weeks or years or however long you’ve been experiencing this series. The final episode is a fucking karaoke party. Masamune-kun has neither a good build-up, nor the ending it promises. You need to somehow make the ending satisfying, but also balance the rest of the story so that the build-up is worth it as well.Īnd here’s where those spoilers really kick in. But you can’t just have a good ending otherwise the audience would just skip to the last episode to see how it plays out. The plot has a clear ending that it is working toward: Makabe Masamune will get revenge on AdagakiĪki in a most grandiose and satisfying way.
Let’s talk about the concept of Masamune-kun for a moment, and why I was immediately nervous about where the anime would go. It also contains bad words like “fuck” and “dick” and “kittens”, so to all children who can’t handle a few motherfucking swears, avert your goddamn eyes!! This review is honest, but purposefully exaggerated so that it may be entertaining to some people, much like the anime itself except I believe myself to be halfway amusing.
