I always forget what part the ego plays in everything. I mean, the id is the party dude, and the superego is your discerning grandma, but the ego is, what, the dude who suggested that maybe you should go to class today? Eh, whatever, I’m already on record this week that Freud is stupid.
LAST TIME: A creeper who lives in a storage container witnesses a murder (maybe) and then meets a nerd girl (probably) and then finds out the murderer is in his class (I guess). From all the clues we are getting that our main character is completely fucking insane, I’m not sure how important I should take any given plot point. Also, you have to intentionally turn on the English dub!
0:46 Who exactly is driving through Shibuya? I mean, that’s like intentionally driving through Times Square.
1:55 The term “3D World” still squeaks the hell out of me.
3:03 These uniforms are the worst. Khaki jackets over single-colored plaid pants and ties? Super gross.
4:17 Oh, okay, so his delusions are literally coming to life now.
4:58 I am concerned that the main character is being gaslighted.
5:47 Unlike you, who is totally a delusion because there is no goddamn way you are real, you creepy anime babe!
6:38 Lock your goddamn door! You live in an illegal shipping container on a roof!
7:29 Where the hell will you cook this meal? He lives in a 20 by 10 foot bin.
7:49 OH SHIT it’s Ryotaro Dojima! And he’s as listless and lazy as ever.
8:27 It took the killer 30 MINUTES to kill his victim?
9:40 How the hell are these people even getting onto the roof?
10:55 Oh man, the little sister character is the worst! Just keep insulting him to his face, bitch!
11:56 YOU DON’T HAVE A CELL PHONE?! Don’t you live in Japan!?
12:22 Listen lady, it’s a store. You can totally survive in a goddamn store for five minutes.
13:01 She wants you, bro! Stop being a weird beard and GET ON IT.
13:52 So wait, the main character is literally the only character who wears green plaid? How the hell does he get away with that? Is it because of his hair?
14:45 I don’t care what anyone says! I get to choose which delusions are real and which aren’t!
15:20 And I guess we’re all naked now?
15:55 This guy hardly goes to school? Isn’t that…an issue?
16:35 Did Japan not get the memo? Nerds are cool. Everyone wants nerds.
17:10 Okay, does this girl not have anything else to do? Literally every sentence out of her mouth has been about wanting the MC.
18:31 Okay, who is that guy? Is he significant? (OH WAIT, that’s the young detective.)
19:13 DUN DUN!
19:32 Oh shit! This girl is an amateur detective who is trying to track down the murderer! What a twist!
20:02 GET THE HELL OUT, TURTLES!
20:45 How could a nerd who has no social skills be so gullible?!
21:18 Not going to lie, this is actually a great twist, because the girl who inexplicably wants the main character is a really common trope.
22:49 Oh by the way, just one more thing, do you have magical powers? Asking for a friend.
23:37 Huh what? Why did he automatically download that picture onto a public computer when he wasn’t talking to the General?
24:25 WAIT HUH?! The main character is the General?! That makes literally no sense! Unless he’s crazy! (Oh wait, he’s crazy)
25:03 That’s it? He gets accused of murder and he just goes home and plays video games? That’s not how it usually works.
VERDICT: You have my attention! I spent the entire episode being bored with the usual shtick and then they totally threw a Naoto at me. Also, I thought the main character was crazy, but the implication seems to be that he is REALLY crazy. Like, goes out of his way to talk to himself crazy. Where on Earth is this going?
