Dantalian no Shoka Episode 4

For the love of God, SAVE ME!!!!!!!

4/5 Stars (Great)

Interesting...

This was a surprising twist into the story of Lenny Lents... But that's probably because the manga to Dantalian no Shoka never went this far into the arc... At first I expected this arc to suck balls.... When I read it in the manga, the arc had virtually no sense of subtlety or cunning masquerades to create powerful plot devices and everything just ended up as a streamlined story tale filled with pointless banter. However, the anime did not suffer this familiar predicament.

Cute Dalian is cute yet again

The anime extravagantly challenged the perception of the audience with its wit and sense of limitations. A story can only go so far with wicked violence and maniacal evil villains. Even so, this story was well woven together through the notorious script and storytelling. It kept you guessing and guessing for the truth behind Lenny Lents' situation and I applaud Gainax for that. The conclusion was satisfying, but there was one problem I had with the story...

What triggered the villain's abnormal obsession for violence and mutilation? Obviously there must've been SOMETHING that led on to this. The villain was too flat and showed little to no powerful characteristics... However, the themes and pacing were brilliant.

I'M A CRAZY BITCH!!!!

Can't wait to see more.
