Words were said, words were wrong. Father! I will do it! I will admit my wrongness!
I complained that The Tower of Druaga was turning into a straight up quest prefaced by a bizarrely inappropriate parody, a cheap attempt to subvert the genre without adding anything to it. I thought that the opening was going to undermine the dynamic of the series, that it would be a mere tacked on peculiarity in the course of my pleasingly competent fun adventure story.
I have just seen Druaga ep.5. I do not need this show to rescue the fantasy genre in anime. It has a higher calling. It is hilarious. It’s that same undermining of expectations all over again, only even funnier. Melt does not show mercy toward men, I shall not show mercy toward myself. I took shit too seriously, I was wrong to do so, I stand corrected.
