Review of Build-Divide -#000000- Code Black

Its fun. The characters are extremely basic except for the antagonist -for once a yandere measured out to perfection. She's obsessive but they don't go psycho yandere face with it. Its a more subtle take on it that makes the terror seep into your skin. Like all card game shows its a barebones advertisement for structure decks and clans with zero application to reality but part of the fun is trying to figure out the mechanics as they don't really explain them much. Worse they straight up skip whole duels and into new ones with no context. I honestly thought I skipped an episode but whatever.As for a scifi setting its relatively visually distinct but a lot of characters look like traces from someone's deviant art account. You have Abec characters and even Kisuke Urahara and a Dogs: Bullets & Carnage guy. It doesn't necessarily detract from the ironic enjoyment of this show but it does make it tacky.

The main character's hilariously stupid strapped hoodie design is bolstered infinitely by the legions of impressionable teens who think its cool and want to copy it. Egoist returns but this time with a Kpop take which I was honestly mildly uncomfortable with. It didn't grow on me but I didn't wind up hating it either.

Its kinda just something to watch while you get drunk with friends who play card games.
