Triage X Diagnosis: Black
So, I decided to give Triage X another episode. I figured I owed it that much, after the amount of fun High School of the Dead provided. Maybe, just maybe, it'd realize how bad the first episode was and make some sort of drastic change that'd make it watchable. It's not totally unheard of.
But in the case of Triage X, that would be impossible. Everything loathsome from the first episode is back, this time with bandages and narcotics thrown in for good measure. And just why exactly the bad guys decide that duct-taping folding chairs to someone's forearms would immobilize them is beyond me... particularly when the tape is applied in a small X to each seat. I just don't it.
Even the single use of color for dramatic purposes, shown above, is disappointing because you just know it's going to go away for the BD release. Instead of dramatic silhouettes, you'll wind up with bodies and blood, just like every other awful show that has a surgeon-samurai with gigantomastia in it. Really, it's almost enough to make me weep for the anime business that crepe like this can not only be released, but awaited eagerly.
I'll be fair, however: there was one change I can approve of in this episode.
They added "Episode: 02" to the card. After last week's "Prescription of Hell" with no hint of what that meant, this must be considered a step up. Maybe someone from CrunchyRoll reads The Pond.
Whatever. This is so dropped.
