The Tower of Druaga #02 — Fun Times are Over

April 11th, 2008

 

Just a few quick notes.

Impressions:

So yeah… apologies to anybody who was psyched for Druaga as a comedy, because it’s serious business from here on out. My eyes practically lodged in the back of my head at "he’s my brother." "Brother!?" OTOUTO!? Say it’s not so! Things went more or less the predictible bad fantasy route from there, complete with gathering a party, meeting the mousy priest chick, embarrassingly poor fight scene, and somehow managing to walk into the assassinated king’s bedroom JUST in time to be framed for it. Exactly as planned from the master of the compelling plot, Gonzo. I’m not going to be sticking around to see how they make this one implode on itself, but with the comedy all but gone, I think you can imagine how things will progress.

Who cares?

    It’s good to know we can always rely on Gonzo to keep being Gonzo. Reduces the total number of shows I make myself try at least one episode of.

  • Hinano says:

    So basically its boobnaut without the boobs?
    Darn – I figured that ep 1 was a joke, too bad. I won’t bother watching ep 2 then.

  • Josh says:

    Unfortunately this was about the best part of the episode…

  • TheBigN says:

    I roll my eyes and smile at you. :P

  • Kabitzin says:

    They did do a brilliant job of marketing the first episode though.

  • Gummi says:

    What are you guys talking about episode 1 was okei it confused me at first and it was revealed to be a dream all the time and in episode 2 he returns back to the down gets fired and then gets recruited to another team but he then tries to prevent an assassination of the king but gets blamed for it instead :D

  • anon says:

  • Haesslich says:

    Nice to see Gonzo’s consistent. IF things don’t improve by three… ah well, at least we got to see episode 1.

  • Sheba says:

  • Zeroblade says:

    BUT WHAT IF EPISODE 2 IS A JOKE AND EPISODE 1 WAS REAL?
