    It's Super BAD

    Already saw until episode 2 and i'm done!! Episode 1 just three characters talking nonsense for a whole episode. It's fine, since maybe they need to introduction the core characters, elements and building the whole premise.

    But in episode 2, they still talking "bull" the wholleeee time. We get it, no need to talking for toooooo loooooooong. 99% just talking and talking. And when they choose to take an action. There's a TWIST! The MC are useless and not that strong!!! And everything done in a second. What the...

    Still can't understand, why this got green lighted. There's literally zero interesting thing. The jokes are too forced, flat and dumb!

    Not For Tourists

    I'm about halfway through The Banned/Earthbound Mole and so far I'm enjoying it. The first episode intrigued me enough to keep me going, and it's gotten more interesting as It's progressed. It has a unique, storybook charm which sets it apart from most other anime, which makes a nice change, and the stories which are mostly about the living being pestered by spirits are pretty engaging. It's a warm, gentle, relaxing anime which contains a lot of Japanese folklore, so if you're into that you might like it.

    Anime tourists with short attention spans might want to give it a miss, though.
