Category: Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita

In this episode, our lead female meets a manga author that she went to school with who invents gay romance fiction and creates a legion of fujoshi by doing so. The thing is, and I’m not sure why, but I had trouble keeping my attention on this episode and I kindof wonder why.

Well, there of course is the way that I’m not interested in works that are purely fanservice and the entire culture that surrounds it, but also: how does this world work anyway? They have cars and apparently methods to transport huge amounts of people, but simple fiction and a printing press is something lost to the ages?

If anything, I fail to miss the point that this episode wants to make. Was it all meant to build up to that moment at the end in which they got caught in a manga? In that case, there is something that bothers me: this series will likely be only 12 episodes long. i feel like it’s taking too long to get from A to B. For a series as Uchuu Kyoudai this is fine because it’s both long and consistently interesting, but with this episode, this series is neither…

This season I’m going to blog six new series, the first of which is Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita. the biggest reason for this is its creativity, and in terms of that, this second episode also did not disappoint. The fairies in this show are already one thing, but what this episode did with skinned chickens was just outstanding as a dark satire.

Now, this series has two types of humour: the first is its jokes that depend on the chemistry between the characters. Now, to be honest, I don’t find this to be that funny. Its uses of anti-climaxes feels rather forced as well and a lot of the other jokes fall flat, and I feel that their delivery could be better. It feels like the characters are forcing themselves to be funny, which doesn’t really work.

The second type of humour in this series is its pitch-black absurdist humour, like with the bread in the first episode, or how this episode featured skinned chickens that went suicidal from from a video o camera. Now, these jokes are really good and well delivered that I just can’t help but laugh at them, especially when the soundtrack turns to Ave Maria as well.

Now, this series will only be 1 cour long. Is that enough tie for a premise such as this?
