Review of She, The Ultimate Weapon

I only watched this show because I made a deal with a friend that he had to watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and I had to watch Saikano. Needless to say, I got boned on this deal. Spoilers Ahead: This show amazes me. Not in a good way. It amazes me because it constantly manages to peck at my head and annoy me. One of our main characters Chise was turned into a military weapon and selected at random off of the street. Thats...about it. There was no special reason given whatsoever. And all of the problems caused in the show could have completely been avoided ifthey used an ACTUAL SOLDIER.

Chise constantly doesn't do what she is supposed to. She is weak willed and from the very beginning couldn't handle the task given to her. I feel the show didn't even really turn her weak will into a plot device but instead constantly used it dry from episode 1 till the very end. She never developed.

Ignoring the awful sound, art, and overall poor story, out of everything that made me mad was how bad the scenarios were. At one point Chise runs away with her boyfriend on a bicycle even though she was monitored by the government and thought it'd be a great idea. Then missiles out target her and she gets rid of them. Problem is, the show made it seem like her own government was trying to retrieve her with the missiles. Not sure how that benefits the government if they hit her target. But the worst part was after that was a lone helicopter was sent to search and retrieve her as her boyfriend groped her on the ground. This helicopter had a hell of a hard time finding them too. They just tried to launch missiles at this girl, Japans last hope and a weapon of mass destruction, but they send a fucking unarmed military transport helicopter to retrieve her. Not even thermals were on the helicopter. It did however have a spotlight, and you can see clearly in the show they spot Chise and her boyfriend on the ground and it fades to black. You'd think they'd be found out, but no, in fact they escaped somehow even after being seen and just walk away with no problems.

Little scenarios like that occur throughout the entire show and it just doesn't make any sense. I'm not even gonna talk about the ending. It was that bad.

If you watch this show, I hope you've prepared yourself with a loaded gun because you'll need it to kill yourself afterwards.
