Talentless Nana

This review probably contains all sorts of peculiar references and indirect SPOILERS, so anyone who wants to enjoy this anime series without SPOILERS should not read this... My first impression of this show - Among Us set in the world of My Hero Academia gone wrong?!? The show is peculiar, and yet also strangely intriguing... My second impression is not as strong, I am thinking that if this was a game in Among Us, the players would definitely not be the "sharpest pencils in the pencil case", and the way one of the characters keeps getting out of scrapes starts to get pretty silly over time! There are not even any great, dramatic, or well-executed battles of wits (even though the screenwriters were obviously trying to go for that)! The main protagonists are not that brilliant, they are just not complete morons like ninety percent of the cast (and so in the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king...). Even Nana switching between good and evil using wannabe dramatic backlighting and internal monologues does not work for me. The third impression, however, not only saves it all, it lifts it from the pits of mediocrity, and it is due to the arrival of one "cat" on the scene and the final drama with the "dog", which is somewhat predictable (there are signs along the way...) however, this unfortunately does not affect Jeoffrey as much as the main protagonist. However, the arrival of that "cat" foreshadows what SonGokussj writes about, that the story is really much deeper, it shows that nothing is ever just black or white and this promises us that the screenwriters really did plan it all out and it is much more interesting than what I thought it would be in the beginning. I am keen to watch the second season. If it is going in the direction I think it is going, then it is all good. I am particularly interested in seeing how the one thing I am expecting will be handled, which I am not sure the character in question has any right to do anymore, however, I am not going to say more, this review is already full of ambiguous and indirect SPOILERS again, so enough, I do not understand why you are still reading this... I enjoyed it despite its shortcomings, so I am awarding it 6.9/10. (10/11/2020)
