Detarame Hero (2013)

This show wasn't given name "Nonsense Hero" for nothing. I mean, it's a rather fun nonsense. If you are into stupid anti-hero shows, this is your thing.

The show kicked off pretty nicely. The concept is new and refreshing, with some puns and jokes ready to pop up out of nowhere and start to make you laugh. Some of them are really, really funny and even including parody of real life pop culture. However, it struggles with pacing issue later on, 13 episodes are far too long to explain the entire idea and story. I don't like how they make some characters act extremely stupid and overly naive (such as Natsumi, the illustrator) by prolonging the story and adding unnecessary cliches in some episodes (i.e eps. 10 all the way to the end). Had they want to make this show as much as 13 episodes, cutting the duration of each episodes to 30 minutes would do the trick, though.

Acting-wise, no one is particularly outstanding or stands out of the rest, but they all do the job. So are the music and screenplay. I was supposed to give a fair 8, but all the drags and overused cliches were enough to downgrade the point into 7.

"GOGGER Z, NAMBA TWOOOO!!!"
