English Dub Review: Re:Monster “Re:Organization”

OVERVIEW (SPOILERS)

The war with the humans and concludes, Parabellum continues with their business, a bunch of members gain big power ups and new forms, and Gobrou has a lot of sex. Whoopeeeeeeee.

OUR TAKE

Uh, yeah, so much for thinking that whole big war was going to be some major arc for the rest of the season, I guess. Really kinda thought we were heading into something major that would…I dunno, give some of these characters more to do and reasons to gain more noticeable changes and developments, progress some character arcs, heck, START some character arcs even. But yeah, no, it’s pretty much just back to normal with no considerable growth or change and we’ve still got another third of the series left to go. So, once again, things continue to be laid out and explained like they’re an itemized list of random stuff that happened each day instead of…like a story. And no further hinting at bigger things on the horizon like major God Blessings or the like. We do get some follow up from some early episodes with Gobrou remembering the karbunkle and then going back to the Dryad, but this is mainly to facilitate him having lots of sex with her, which then gets the other girls jealous, so they end up having sex with him just like last time, and sex sex sex sex sex sex seeeeeeeeeeeeeex.

You know, I already didn’t have very high expectations for this show after a certain point. Eight episodes in and we still don’t really have much of a read on Gobrou himself, other than that he apparently finds assault permissible, especially when he does it to prisoners, which doesn’t really make me think the best of the guy, if I’m being perfectly frank. But as we continue to add more characters, see Parabellum grow and expand in strength and numbers, and even see long time characters become stronger and more elaborately designed, I guess I thought, perhaps wrongly, that we would be able to make out the outline of…a story by the two thirds mark of the series. But now I see that was a naive thought. Whatever this show is interested in telling, it seems more into just being about the methodical building up of this isekai protagonist just getting power and women with no character arc, no major goal, and apparently no reason to have a shred of decency. So, I guess I’ll just kinda hang in there and sit through the remaining four episodes of this show, expectations at rock bottom and waiting for it to get bored and let me go. Huh, I think I finally get how my ex felt.
