Review of Love Tyrant
Ever finished an anime that left you unsatisfied? The feeling of incompleteness and disappointment. You know exactly what I am talking about. It's not an empty feeling, more of there should be more of a climax and ending compared to this mediocre, cliche and predictable conclusion. If that is the type of anime you are looking for, say no further as this is a great paradigm of what I described -- the epitome feeling of displeasure. ※ STRENGTH ※ - Kiss. An anime where characters actually kiss. I guess that is a strength amongst of countless harems where MC never kiss your favorite ship.- Concept. Death Note. Kiss Note. It was particularly interesting as I find many parody moments throughout the anime that would leave me chuckling for more. This is, however, a double-edged sword.
- Funny. If you want a good laugh, this sure delivers. But it doesn't sound worth for 5+ hours of your life when you can be reading me_irl memes instead for that same pleasure.
※ WEAKNESS ※
- Concept. I personally think this anime had potential if they took the plot and idea more seriously. There are literally Death Note fanatics who breathe and aspire to be like L and Kira. To deviate from the narrative is one of the biggest mistakes. No. Not even a mistake. It's a sin.
- Cliche characters. Clueless MC. Check. Popular girl who turns out to be a full-on yandere. Check. Loli tsundere ojou-sama character. Check. Full-on sadist that makes your brain and other brain very confused. Check. Oh can't forget the magical fantasy-type of girl who chose to partner with your classic MC for no legitimate reason. Check
- Predictable. After few episodes in, it's just one of those shows that MC is going to win it all.
- No progression. Whether it may be the story or the characters themselves. All began flat as a pancake and still is at the end.
- Inconsistent. The character's action were contradictory and irregular. Example being sadist girl goes full crazy and later on somehow just casually joins in for a sleepover. Illogical lines were crossed multiple times.
Needless to say, I was quite disappointed, even when my standards were low because of a harem-type of anime.
Would I rewatch? Hell no.
Would I recommend? Hell no.
Was this worth my time? Hell no.
The ending was possibly one of the worst I witnessed in 2017, granting mixed feelings of frustration and irritation that just make you deeply ponder why you wasted time watching. If you want to feel some negative feelings, this might be the right cup of tea just for you.
