*deep inhale*
So-
This is more of a so-far review. Because I am now starting to slip away from the show due to this week's episode.
Brief description, spy needs a fake family to save the world. Fake wife is an assassin, and fake daughter is a telepath.
Neither the wife or the husband know about any of this aside from their own roles, the daughter knows everything because she is a telepath.
Hijinks ensue
Got it? Great set up for an anime right?
Yes.
BEFORE A SIDE CHARACTER RUINS IT.
(After this point, major spoilers. You have been warned my froggy friends. It is very obvious I didn't like the new episode)
Still here? Great, I'm assuming you've seen the show so far then
So, Yor (the assassin wife) has mentioned a few (hundred) times that she has a younger brother, Yuri. However she did not have him in mind when she and Loid (spy father) get married and have their documents altered to say they've been married for a year. This is important
The reason the marriage even needed to happen, is because of the plot of the show blah blah blah Yor will be suspicious without a husband, and Loid needs a mother for Anya (telepath daughter) for a prestigious school yada yada moving on.
So Yor and Loid decide to invite Yuri over to dinner to fix it, Yor using the excuse of 'she forgot'
AND YURI BELIEVES THIS BTW-
Anyway he comes to dinner and starts challenging Loid, who tricks him into finding out Yuri works for the Secret Police, who is hunting him EXCLUSIVELY at the moment.
So Yuri, rightfully, is suspicious that they're actually married and starts challenging Loid to prove it with a kiss.
At least you THINK it's because of suspicious behavior.
So it turns out that for some fucked up reason, Yuri fell in love with his sister (NOT PLATONICLY) and is jealous that Yor has a husband that isn't him
*deep inhale x10*
So-
He gets mad when Loid goes to kiss her to prove it AT YURI'S REQUEST and winds up getting smacked by Yor because she's obviously embarrassed. Keep in mind Yuri is fucking creepy and she isn't really Married to Loid
So he leaves yada yada story shit. But before the story starts back up, it pans to Yuri at work. Whatever whatever, he works for the secret police which was confirmed earlier, so why do we need this scene?
TO SHOW THE MASSIVE SHRINE IN HIS WORK LOCKER OF BIKINI PICTURES OF YOR
HAVE I MENTIONED THEY ARE SIBLINGS???
Obviously Yor has no idea about his involvement with the secret police OR his love for her because she is very preoccupied with murder or whatever
Now, my ranking for the show *so-far*
Honestly? Before the newest episode, 10/10.
New episode?
Knocks the show down to 4/10
If Yuri gets that much screen time to be that fuckin weird again, I will drop this anime faster then Eminem raps.
Yuri fr ruins it that bad for me.
He could've been a great character.
But you made him like his sister instead.
What a shame.
