Gunjou no Magmel Dropped:

I was always leery of this show, but the interactions between the detective and his assistant were cute enough that I gave it a pass.  However, this time they went too far.  In a fit of nihilistic sadism, they committed endless acts of assault, theft, fraud, vandalism and finally even attempted murder to a completely innocent person all while laughing it all off as a prank.  They drove the guy to suicide and thought it was a great practical joke.

This is what happens when nihilism takes over.  His empty heart needed the stimulus of others' pain and fear because he couldn't get his jollies any other way -- because he's a nihilist who values nothing in this world and can take no satisfaction from the ordinary impulses that satisfy ordinary men.  His behavior just escalates further and further in order to compensate for the black hole in the center of his chest.

It was always going to come to this, it was just a question of when.  His empty soul could never stay within the bounds of law and morality.  There's no way I can continue endorsing a protagonist like this.  It's impossible in good conscience to keep watching this show.

I also tried out the first episode of Kono Oto Tomare due to the whole internet being ablaze with hype about how great this show was, but within the first episode there were so many crimes of assault, vandalism, attempted murder, theft, etc, that I couldn't even watch the first episode the whole way through.  That plus the main character is this total pussy who refuses to take any positive action to resolve his problems but just sits around like a punching bag waiting to get attacked over and over again.  What an incredible loser.  I could think of a dozen actions he could have taken to improve his life but he didn't try a single one.  He just cried and whined and moaned while delivering himself up to his own persecutors.  I hate pussies and I hate bullies and yet here we have a story of nothing but pussies and bullies and it gets rave reviews?  Who the fuck are these 'fans'?  How can they possibly like such a shit show?  I couldn't even get past the first episode and others are saying, 'oh, this was so emotional, it made me cry.'  When can I wake up from this clown world nightmare?

How about instead of these awful shows featuring awful people, you just read 'In Another World With 100 Waifus,' which is a great book featuring nothing but great people?  It would be a lot more beneficial and productive use of everyone's time.

I spent today proofreading Part 6 so it should be free of all minor errors now.  Even the small mistakes like periods being used in the place of commas have been corrected.  The manuscript is now clean as a whistle.  The new content is ready for viewing, and a worthy successor to what came before.
