Dropkick on My Devil!!: Apocolypse Day

Despite being labeled as a special television film, it stands up in quality just like a regular episode of the series. The supposed slightly better animation only lasts a few minutes, humorously acknowledged by the creators. I must say, I admire their ability to poke fun at various things, including their own controversies from the previous season, like the city demanding money back due to the series' portrayal of the black market for human organs or the uncertain future tied to crowdfunding results. For those not following the anime news closely, these references might go unnoticed, but personally, I found them enjoyable. The film delivers a standard crazy comedy with a handful of good jokes, a few misses, a touch of violence, and a bit of space for the myriad familiar characters, nearly twenty in total, so they don't have much room to shine individually. I'd rate it 5.5/10 – it was nice to remember the snake creature, and I wouldn't mind seeing more episodes. (12/27/2023)
