In this week of #AniMangaFoundIt by @apc , we’re not mad… we’re just disappointed.

There are quite a few disappointing anime out there, but among those I haven’t intentionally erased from my memory, I’d like to mention Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid. Given its premise (in a few words, “Soul Eater but 100% explicit yuri”) it just had… no, it needed to be good! But unfortunately, it’s not. The characters feels quite shallow, their dynamics are at the very least strained, the story is rather superficial… Overall, it feels more like a parody than a solid work. I’m not a storyteller, I’m just a translator, but even I can tell how to make this story undeniably good!

At least it packed with some curious references. Let me know if you’d like me to mention them.
