Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka (2015)
Aggressively alright
This series frustrates me a lot. One one hand, I think the idea behind the show and world building are really interesting. But on the other, it's very run of the mill.
For every interesting fight or character, there's some fan service or an incredibly annoying character that does nothing in terms of plot.
The fan service is especially horrible. It's at it's worst in the first few episodes (especially with Hestia who seems to be purely for fan service) and while it does chill out quite a bit, it still leaves plenty of time for boob and butt shots of any woman on screen for more than 10 seconds.
But overall, I enjoy the plot and most of the characters and it's really only brought down by the stupid crap it pulls.
Bama Rush (2023)
whats with the director?
Frankly the documentary would be pretty interesting despite its sort of lack of focus. But for some reason the director inserted herself into the story for almost a 1/4 of the run time.
She makes a rather flimsy connection between rushing and her having to fake being herself because she has alopecia and wore a wig for 14 years. The first time she did this i sort of got it, because she understood feeling like you have to appeal to a certain group. But she does this every 15 minutes and by the end the connection was pretty much lost on me. A lot of the time her appearing on screen would completely take me out of whatever was happening.
But when she directed the focus to the girls, it was pretty interesting! I enjoyed the variety in interviews (girls planning to rush, girls already in a sorority, legacies, ect.)
while the whole thing lacked some focus, jumping between subjects often with no transition, i rather enjoyed it!
