So I just got done watching a pretty darn popular anime named "The Familiar Of Zero". (Well, it was only season one, but yeah. It had an ending and all that, so I'm not really cheating here.)
And this anime....... I love it. Honestly. From the second I started episode one I knew this was going to be awesome, and it mostly was! BUT I do have a few complaints with it.........
And by a "Few" I mean A GODDAMN TRILLION.
Welcome to my new series Random Rants! Where I nitpick the mother-living hell out of whatever I so damn desire. Sound good to you? IT FUCKING BETTER.
So although I really do think The Familiar Of Zero (The original 2006 run of it, that is.) is a fantastic anime by itself, it definitely has its problems.
For one, this is one of those anime with the 12-13 episode curse. What do I mean by this? Well, a TON of short anime are almost ALWAYS 12 or 13 episodes, and although I really enjoy watching them because of how little time they take away from my life and how fast I can watch them, they ALWAYS have to be a little bit rushed.
Therefore, not much time for character development, not much time for comedy, not much time for anything really. You HAVE to be quick and smart if you want to make a good 12-13 episode anime OR YOU WILL...........
You will..... You will, uh, um, be hurt very much?
YOU WILL BE HURT VERY MUCH! >:D (A+ for vocabulary there Jared -____-)
Now onto the actual complaints. And this first one has to do with the short episode count.
I REALLY wish some of the characters got more screen time, like the talking sword that Saito always carries around REALLY could've had more done with him.
Another complaint is KIND OF Louise herself. I mean, I'm one of the few people that actually LIKES her, but still, SHE IS THE MOST BRUTAL UNFORGIVING TSUNDERE IN ALL OF ANIME LAND.
Is that even a fucking place? Anime Land? XDDD HOW DO I THINK OF THIS SHIT?
Anyways, Louise, as I said, is pretty damn terrifying. Whenever Saito does something even remotely annoying or bad, she threatens him. With things like this.
-No food until downright starving
-100 Lashes with a whip
-EXPLOSION
-Very painful face-plant to wherever the hell she so desires
-Boot to the face
-Sleep outside of room laying in hay in presumably freezing cold hallway WITH no food
-YOU GET MY FUCKING POINT YET?
And she treats him like a goddamn slave, NO JOKE. But here's one complaint everyone ignores about this show for some reason.
Louise treats Saito like a slave because she says that Familiar's are supposed to be loyal to their masters and do a lot of work for them, but here's the thing.............
NOT ONLY DO WE NEVER SEE ANY OTHER FAMILIAR'S DOING ANY WORK FOR THEIR MASTERS, BUT IT WOULDN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!
For example, Geiche has a mole familiar. HOW WOULD A MOLE HELP YOU PUT ON YOUR CLOTHES OR DO YOU LAUNDRY OR ANYTHING.
Another example is the first familiar we see in the show, it's basically a levitating eyeball.
HOW IN THE MOTHER LIVING FUCK WOULD AN EYEBALL HELP YOU WITH GODDAMN ANYTHING!? HOW!?
So in the end, Louise has NO reason to be treating Saito so harshly.
Lastly, (SPOILERS) the one guy that claimed to be Louise's fiance is WAY TOO FUCKING OLD TO BE DATING LOUISE.
LOUISE IS FUCKING WHAT, MY AGE? AND THE GUY THAT WANTS TO MARRY HER? FUCKING I DON'T KNOW....... FIFTY!?
IT'S SO FUCKING AWKWARD! EVEN WHEN LOUISE WAS A LITTLE GIRL IN THAT ONE FLASHBACK, HE STILL LOOKED GODDAMN THIRTY. WHAT THE FUCK GUYS.
And that's it for now. Just wanted to get that out of my chest. XD I hope you guys enjoyed our first special session of random rants.
Adios amigos, until the next time!
