| i hadn't thought about it like that before, but i totally agree. watching ep 1 i thought the humor was well placed, but looking back on everything i've watched so far(only eps 1 and 2, dont @ me), i wish they'd stuck with the serious tone + horror more consistently, because like you said, it was built up so well only to inevitably fall though. |
| The manga and novel keeps the tone quite consistent through the whole of each of the arcs. The adaptation just isn't that great with it's tone, and way too much is skipped hell they just casually skipped a whole arc in the anime. Idk if they will get better with more episode (doubt it). |
| I've been feeling that something's "off" for a few episodes now, and not in a good way. I think it's because the show started strong and the Otherside was mysterious and dangerous, but after Sorawo's eye and Toriko's hand were affected they haven't really suffered anymore damage. There's also a strange shift in tone from these slice-of-life parts to the Otherside ones, and it's almost as if the characters don't really care about the Otherside that much despite being in mortal peril (theoretically, they can slip into it anytime) and seeing people die in there with their own eyes (the guy looking for his wife). I think the closest these recent episodes have been to capturing the mystery and tension of the start, was the scene with the giant creature on the train tracks, and then the train. I wish there were more scenes of exploring the Otherside, the dialogue could be shifted over to them instead of taking place in a boring city background. |
| Honestly, while this is more on about the first half of each episode, but I might as well say it here. As the first few episodes to me, were really good when it comes to keeping that tension, and the sudden shift towards not caring wasn't so bad, and it made me like this show, and consider checking out the Manga at some point. But I would say the middle part of the series in terms of it's episodes is where this really stands strong. It's why I'm posting this comment here on this topic. This show had a strong start, but mid way in, it went shit, though will say I have enjoyed the past two episodes. |
