Sure, it has a cheesy moment every episode and everyone aside from the core trio are kind of dull, but it’s a well-made show. I got something that was much more than that. I thought it was a big, dumb action show focusing on a villain who spits one-liners all the time. I underestimated this show quite heavily. I didn’t want to just blog Psycho-Pass and nothing else, so I jumped ship to The Unlimited and hoped for the best. The Winter season was so utterly empty that I had no idea what else to blog once I realized Cuticle Detective Inaba was tanking. …and then Hyoubu continued on his journey to capture all 7 magical lolis and beat the final bossĪgain, I have to thank Kyokai for suggesting this show to me. As things stand, I’m quite content with the ending. Andy will travel the world and figure out his strengths and maybe one day come back to join PANDRA again. Other than that, I’m satisfied with things ending here.
That’s like putting a bandaid on someone’s leg because they have leg cancer – it ain’t gonna work. Andy may have suppressed his powers, but that’s not gonna fix a heart problem. There aren’t many threads left hanging aside from the events in the far future where Kaoru leads an esper rebellion. The mystery of Yugiri was better when it was just a mystery!Įverything else I’d want to be resolved is also resolved. She just bummed around a bit and then was willingly kidnapped. They held off for so long, and now it turns out she didn’t really do much before she met Hyoubu. Furthermore, Yugiri’s backstory turned out to be incredibly bland. So they really couldn’t pay some sketchy esper a huge sum of money to assassinate the mayor and just reap the rewards later on? It’s the same event, just caused by different people. It sounds really dumb that they’d need an esper of such a high ability just to change the future when the act is the same. Unfortunately, I wasn’t a big fan of Yugiri’s position in the story. “Ooooo pretty colours…” “SNAP OUT OF IT, MAN!” I laughed, but at the same time I loved watching Andy and Yugiri try to save him when he lost control. “Rainbow” isn’t exactly the most fearsome combination of colours, you see. The changed OP colour sequence wasn’t just a psychedelic experiment, but a nod to how Hyoubu looks when he loses control of his powers.
It’s overdramatic to the point where I wanted to laugh. Even Andy gets some time to shine as he staggers forward to save Hyoubu, rainbow strobe lights going off like they’re in a frenzied night club rave.
THE UNLIMITED HYOUBU KYOUSUKE YUGIRI DOUJINSHI XXX SERIES
I’m really pleased with the direction the series took at the end in order to develop Hyoubu. You can’t expect him not to play the douche card at least a little bit. …Okay, so he gives him permanent amnesia and ruins his entire life afterwards, but that’s still pretty kind considering what he could have done. He doesn’t forgive him for the horrific things he’s done, but he acts like the bigger person by walking away. His choice to not kill Saotome also shows this quite nicely. He’s finally started to believe in crafting a happy future instead of just avenging his past. He was once haunted by the past, but as he thinks he’s about to die, all he can talk about is the future. It only sinks in when push finally comes to shove and Hyoubu is about to die. Kaoru, Andy and Yugiri have been teaching him about trust for the entire series. He does a 180 in the last few episodes, yet it’s believable. He re-evaluates himself, his morals, and what he thinks of the world. I was expecting a more “Hyoubu is so cool! He kills people and does whatever he wants! He won’t change for ANYONE!” kind of message. I’m impressed that he actually developed as a character by the end of the series.
It’s amazing that he moves on from having a grudge strong enough to raise himself from the dead. Then he surprised me even more by forgiving Saotome, which is a completely different story. In the end, he actually forgave Andy and surprised me.
I could not see him as the type to forgive anyone for even the slightest evil done against him. Furthermore, Hyoubu is cast as this badass character who does what he wants to achieve his goals, regardless of how destructive it could be. I had assumed that a spin-off series wouldn’t want to take too much liberty with an already existing character of the franchise in case fans whined at inconsistencies. I never thought he would ever be able to forgive Saotome, or at least get by without wringing his neck like a wet towel. Let me start by saying I was wrong about Hyoubu. But for now, let us focus on our last romp with crazy, rainbow-spewing espers. I got an extension on my essay, so I have time to write about anime! Yay! Here’s the last episodic post from me for a while until the new season starts. By Overcooled, posted under ANIME, The Unlimited: Hyoubu Kyousuke
