It has Lovecraftian horror and the concept of battling them using modern concepts (gaming, social media, live streams)… this #anime should’ve been a touchdown but holy cow did #Necronomico fumble hard

#Necronomico ep.12
-Disappointing episode.
-On paper, a giant kaiju battle with Miko controlling giant Cthulhu against giant Tick-Tock Man sounds fun.
-Unfortunately, the battle itself was underwhelming and ant-climatic.

Probabilmente #Necronomico avrebbe meritato un doppio cour: mi ha dato molto l'idea di essere stato un po' tutto rushato e/o lasciato a metà
Poco soddisfacente in sostanza, si guadagna la sufficienza solo per l'estetica variopinta, per l'idea di fondo interessante e per qualche trovata degna di nota
#Necronomico ep.11
-Good episode.
-Miko in the last level of the rumble game were fun scenes.
-Miko's boss battle against Cthulhu was just okay.
-Miko challenging Tick-Tock-Man was expected.
The title character Miko, aka Necronomico, from the Anime "Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show", a butch lesbian (explicitly stated in the show). She's climbing a latter in defiance and yelling "I'll make you accept us!".
Queer wrath in my anime? It's more likely than you think!

#Necronomico ep.10
-Okay episode.
-Ghatanothoa making Kanna play a video game that's based on her own life was a decent horror idea.
-The way Kanna overcame the challenges was very straightforward.
-I felt this story was rushed. This could've been a 2 episode story.
#Necronomico ep.9
-Good episode.
-Seijiro's character shined very well.
-The card game that Seijiro and Hastur played was just alright.
-I loved how Seijiro used Hastur's mind games against him.
As I assumed would be the case last week, Episode 8 sets us up with what seems to be the structure we'll be working with for the remainder of the series. Our four remaining heroes have to tackle the four Old Ones, and they end up splitting up and doing each trial alone. This means that the first half of this episode is actually a focus story about Hastur on the villains' side, and, on the heroes' side, Sano Seishirou. Given that the latter's characterization so far has amounted to a pedophile joke about 5 episodes ago, which even the show itself seems to have forgotten about, this is a good chance to give him some actual characterization. And you know what? He acquits himself pretty nicely here. Hastur's game is in of itself not terribly interesting, being essentially the card game War with a smaller deck and some extra steps, but it's nice to see Seishirou actually fit into the "heroic teacher that goes down fighting" archetype, even as Hastur taunts him all the while. (The drawling, low growl that Okitsu Kazuyuki delivers for how Hastur mockingly calls Seishirou "senseeiii" is one of the best pieces of voice acting in this whole show so far.) The card game does manage to have some legitimate emotional stakes, especially when Hastur conjures up mental recreations of Seishirou's family for the final hand. Pretty impressive considering that it just boils down to a coin flip, essentially, but Seishirou ekes out a win by psychoanalyzing his opponent and is free to be reunited with his family.
Except he isn't, because SURPRISE! HE DOESN'T ACTUALLY HAVE A FAMILY. In the sort of beautifully brick-stupid twist you only get in this kind of show, it is revealed that Seishirou's family, who we only met a few minutes prior, are in fact completely imaginary! Surprise! It's the most hilariously awful system rep of all time! Suffice to say, I think this is so dumb that it kind of comes back out the other side and becomes funny. How can you hate dialogue like this? Image: Hastur protesting: "Wait! Having a family that doesn't exist is cheating!" Text continues: Others will feel differently I'm sure, and Seishirou's victory over Hastur is pyrrhic anyway: he collapses and dies shortly after Hastur's disposed of, leaving the remining three Old Ones (and possibly also Tick Tock Man? I wouldn't put that past this show) for the anime's final few episodes.
I've been forgetting to post my anime thoughts over here. Here's what I had to say about this week's #Necronomico episode
Das #Anime #Streaming Programm für Dienstag, den 26.08.
Heute u.a. mit #DetectivesTheseDaysAreCrazy, #Necronomico und #TurkeyTimetoStrike!
It didn't have a strong start and plays fast and loose with Lovecraftian lore, but this survival game has actually gotten really enjoyable as its gone on.

#Necronomico ep.8
-Pretty dull episode.
-Getting the outside world's perspective on the games was just okay.
-Miko & Kanna dealing with those talk show hosts were boring scenes.
-Eita forming a support group for the Old Ones were meh scenes.
-It was nice to see Mama.
After 4 1/2 episodes of Eita doing his I Am An Alpha Gamer shtick, it was immensely gratifying in this week's episode to see him a) be run over with a motorcycle and b) have his eye(s?) gouged out. That's the kind of karma you love to see. (I'm sure they're going to try to make us feel bad for him later. I will not be falling for it.) That particular development aside, episode seven was good but also relatively standard for Necronomico. The game was pretty fun, I enjoyed the various little twists and turns like Gua getting shot with a high-powered sniper rifle and Kanna being secretly from Kyoto. The latter dovetails nicely into the episode's last and meanest twist, which I admit is not hard to see coming, but is cruelly effective nonetheless.
#Necronomico was pretty good this week
#Necronomico ep.7
-Good episode.
-The heroes calling Eita out foe being bad at being cool was funny.
-The Kyoto Tower Defense game had several fun action scenes.
-Kanna hitting Eita with the motorcycle was satisfying.
#Necronomico ep.6
-Good episode.
-The Old Ones spending casual time with the protagonists were all good scenes.
-The best scenes were with Kei & Gha. Especially their time at the festival and the restaurant.
-Eita now working alongside the Old Ones was not surprising at all.
Still mixed on this one, but I think if the show continues on this track I'm gonna be won over before too long. The obvious "problem" with this show is Eita, right? Eita is just not that interesting of a villain. He definitely sucks, don't get me wrong, and it's funny and cathartic when he malds about the game (a twisted quiz show in this episode) being rigged or whatever, but he sucks in such a vapid, air-sucking way that watching him ham it up for the camera is exhausting instead of fun. Even the reveal that he went to the guy he magic'd up a car crash on in the hospital and literally yanked his life support, normally the kind of thing that's so over the top it'd loop back around to being interesting, just comes off as an attempt to gas a fundamentally lame villain. At one point, Gua (the redheaded old god) says that in another life he "might've shaped history", which is a hilariously stupid thing to say about a guy who's basically an evil version of Ninja. (But I repeat myself.) I kind of think the show might be gearing up to get rid of him, though, because all he really accomplished this episode was making everyone else angrier at him than they were already. Then again, this genre loves its utterly vile villains, so maybe I'm being overly optimistic.
In the positives column, you've got basically everything else. The actual premise of this episode is pretty neat. The idea of a quiz show where all the answers are about the contestants and so what you're really sacrificing is either goodwill (if the question is about someone else) or your own dignity (if it's about you) to score points is interesting, much moreso than the tedious lateral thinking puzzle that kicks the episode off, thank god we got past that quickly. Eita shafts another player again, in this case Kanna, but she manages to bounce back by answering a question about herself. In the process, she reveals to the other contestants that she was horribly abused as a child and ran away from home when she was younger, which is also why she lives by herself (*how* she does that, on a streamer's earnings, is a question left unanswered). Then at the end of the episode, Miko gives them a pretty good put-down:
Miko: You're supposed to be cosmic horrors, and all you can do is bully a teenage girl? You're just a bunch of weird losers!
At which point they reveal they've been livestreaming this entire event, so Kanna did in fact just reveal her domestic abuse to the world. Pretty harsh! She gets something of a silver lining in that the "Lord of All Things" (I don't know my Cthulu Mythos very well. I think that's Azatoth?) intervenes to help her during the quiz itself, and seems to be favoring her in general. I really hope this plot---including some of Cthulu's more ambiguous comments about it---goes somewhere, because it's easily the most interesting thing introduced this episode. If I'm writing a wishlist, Kanna turning heel and murdering Eita would be amazing. Speaking of amazing things, the episode ends on the reveal that a witch hunter from the Vatican is now aware of the Cosmic Horror Show. I think this has the distinction of being the first absolutely fucking hilarious appearance of the Catholic Church in an unexpected place in anime since Leo XIV took office. I'm sure he's thrilled.
#Necronomico continues to be pretty okay actually
#Necronomico ep.5
-Great episode.
-That was a friggin crazy quiz show.
-I loved that the cast had to get creative with the answers.
-Eita is a friggin a-hole.
-I loved Kanna's attempted comeback. It was also great to get her backstory.
#Necronomico ep.4
-Good episode.
-The escape from hotel reversi game was pretty nuts.
-The sacrifice scene had some decent drama.
-Kanna slapping Eita was needed.
Necronomico episode 3 makes the series' social commentary clearer. The real cosmic horror show is people going mad over an unfavourable society, leading to detachment and apathy. Let's see if the story does something unique with that. We also got more dark club music bangers. #necronomico
#Necronomico ep.3
-Good episode.
-Eita & Nao trapping that Shaggoth into an infinite loop was clever.
-Eita turning on Nao & becoming a player Killer was a nice twist.
-Yep, this is like SAO where dying in the games results in real life death. An expected twist.

I WANT this to be good. I'm not feeling super confident right now -- honestly I might not make it through the 'fall guys but make it death game' bit. But I love a death game, I love old gods....
