This review may discuss plot details.
Generation of Chaos Next is an anime that nobody wanted. The writers didn't want to write for it, the animators didn't want to animate it, and it's all in service to a game nobody wants to play. It stars... Boy? Yeah. That's his name. Boy comes from a fantasy kingdom that's at war or something, and so to prepare for it, he spends all day, every day, practicing the weakest looking backhand stroke in the history of swordplay. It's then that he encounters... um... Girl... who he says he's in love with, and she says she's in love with him, as well. But the evil...Dadbod... Legolas? The evil Dadbod Legolas gets in the way of their mild fondness for each other, on the grounds that Girl is a princess, Boy is a peasant, Boy is going to go die in a war, Boy lacks basically any power to affect the world around him, and Boy has yet to master the second and third swings in his light attack weapon combo. Like, just on those minor, insignificant problems. What a judgmental prick.
I watched this anime because it contained the Romance tag. It does not have romance. Romance would require that the characters have the ability to emote, or literally any reason to get together other than "he's a boy, she's a girl, and they're both presumably heterosexual." It also contains tags for Action and Adventure. It has no action, because action requires animation, and it has no adventure, because adventure necessitates you leaving the fucking castle and going somewhere! Somewhere more exciting than "washed out blank white field," where you and your massive army of less than a dozen dudes squares off against less than a dozen random armored knights from the Kingdom of Barely Explained and Who Gives a Shit, Anyway?
It also says it's a Fantasy. I'll give it that. One look at Dadbod Legolas's stupid outfit, and I've got no doubt we're looking at a typical anime fantasy.
Overall, Generic Fantasy Title: The Sequel is an anime so boring, I am literally forgetting about it as we type. Horrendously animated, uninspired character design, and worldbuilding that is actually worse than non-existent. The one thing it was supposed to do was get me interested in the plot of the game. Japanese RPGs are entirely built on character and story. It committed the cardinal sin of making an RPG's plot look boring and asinine, and because of that, it's no wonder I wasn't even able to find any info on the game, on the internet.
Anemic Backhanded Sword Swing/10. Absolutely awful. Please send me any Dadbod Legolas Rule 34 you come across.
