Snack Basue

Imagine stepping into a bar while completely sober. You glance around and think to yourself, "Well, this looks dreadful." There are a few regulars, clearly already deep into their drinks, chatting away about things that seem like utter nonsense to you - you're not from around here, after all. Then, out of nowhere, a beer-bellied fellow starts describing his obscene fantasies and questionable experiences with women. You can't shake the feeling that none of it actually happened, and you start wondering why you even walked in here in the first place. After a short while, you decide to turn on your heel and leave without even ordering anything. That's how my experience with Snack Basue felt – a moment with an anime that's tragically lacking in animation quality, with unlikable characters who dive into Japanese politics, actors, and other stuff that might excite die-hard Japanophiles, but not your average viewer, even if they're an anime fan. Then came Morita's ramblings, and I felt an overwhelming sense of cringe wash over me. It was at that moment I realized I didn't want to continue watching this. The series held no value for me, in fact, it was a pretty unpleasant watch. So, it was only logical to drop it after the first episode... (29/03/2024)
