Lady Death – Certainly Was Something – #TokyoTreat (FAP-367)

This week we talked about Lady Death and this for us was more along the lines of a “How did this get made?”. A majority of the time we are trying to figure out what it was we actually watched. Jack brings a dramatic and jokingly unhinged “horn daddy” recap to start things off and Rick follows up with a “biggest daddy issues movie” energy, and we both get into how the pacing feels slow, the story feels thin, and the rules of the world make no sense even when you try to be generous with what you are given. There were a lot of plot gaps and time skips not to mention the poor power scaling that we were subjected too. And to top it all off the dialog and character designs were basically primarily fanservice with a metal-album aesthetic. We also touch on ADV being the studio for this and they have a track record for some shotty productions already so it was not out of the realm of possibility to be like this. If you want messy and inconsistent rules and poor power structure and a feeling like the lurches from Earth to hell to rebellion to final showdown with no repercussions or payoff then this is for you if you are looking for something that is even half way decent then this is not for you.
