Worlds End Harem Episode 10
World's End Harem
past Steve Jones, 
I can't tell yous how disappointed I am that terrorists did not actually kidnap Doi during concluding week'southward kerfuffle. Disappointment, however, is the connective tissue of an otherwise sloppy and soulless episode of World's Stop Harem. With (as far as I tin can tell) simply one more episode to get subsequently this ane, the plot finally catches up to it, and the ensuing shuffle of twists and revelations is somehow more than awkward to lookout than all the prior weeks' fumbling fornications. Peradventure, like one of Doi's unfortunate sex slaves, I've just been heed-broken past the show, but at least his supervillain arc was ridiculous enough to be something. Bad porn even so has the virtue of being bad porn. A bad political thriller, on the other manus, is fifty-fifty worse than staring into screenfuls of genital voids.
I'll commencement with the function that pisses me off the most, and I promise it's no surprise it's that four-eyed fucker. For no reason, he'south a completely unlike graphic symbol at present. After weeks of lasciviously luxuriating in his hedonism, after waterboarding the audience with the pungent perspiration of his cum-drenched conquest of every slice of pussy in that high schoolhouse, Globe's End Harem decides Doi isn't that bad a guy. Suddenly he'southward their benevolent philosopher-king, protecting Erika (never mind that he chained her upward in the commencement place) and forming an heart-to-eye alliance with Karen. I have to watch his gaggle of gal pals tearily clamor over his hospital bed, with zero acknowledgment of or reflection on the hump-addled lunatic he had transformed into over the form of the flavor. Information technology'south sickening. When he was evil, he at least had the potential to be entertaining.
On the brilliant side, Chloe is evil now, then that means I tin can like her more. That's right: it's twists upon twists, and it turns out it was the international UW that was responsible for the MK virus, not simply the Japan branch. Their beefiness with Nippon was but that they were secretly hoarding these five hale male sperm dispensers, when the UW'south ultimate goal appears to be a world completely apple-pie of the Y chromosome. I've been half-joking that the bad guys were evil feminists all forth, simply the prove is tantalizingly close to making that its explicit reality. Meanwhile, Erisa identifies herself to the world as the leader of the terrorist group fighting for men'south rights to exist. How brave of her. There's besides a weird religious temper to both sides, with Erisa's group all enrobed and tattooed, while Chloe strips nude for her clandestine meetings with Daughter Seele. I'chiliad not kinkshaming, but if this whole conflict simply amounts to a spat between rival gynic cults, then there are much less destructive—and more fanservice-friendly—ways to resolve their differences.
While I dare not accuse World'due south End Harem of having a forthcoming political agenda, which would assume a caste of thoughtfulness in no style supported by the quality of the writing, the premise is inherently political, whether you similar it or non. Yous can't write a story about effectively wiping out an entire gender without touching upon gender politics. It's not a matter of intent; it's a matter of inevitability. And for me, the funniest function of these stories is the brain-numbing corporeality of convolution information technology takes to imagine a world in which men are oppressed by women. It's less a thought experiment and more similar thought gymnastics. Moreover, World's Terminate Harem couldn't care less about that oppression, except for how information technology justifies its protagonists' acts of rebellion, i.e. penetrative sex for the sole purpose of recreation. You lot see this rhetoric in conservative movements all the time, where they rebrand the most vanilla fucking beliefs as "sticking information technology" to an imaginary cabal of radical leftists pulling the globe's strings. The people who wield the well-nigh power are the ones who most desire to be perceived every bit David and non Goliath. Everybody wants to be the piffling guy—and World's End Harem is a evidence fabricated exclusively for little guys.
Honestly, though, I don't intendance whether or not a show named Globe's Stop Harem has good politics. I just want it to be entertaining about it, and this episode is an interminable slog of roundabout dialogue driving us to a conclusion nosotros could have gotten to on our own in a few minutes. There are but scant shades of the series' usual garish and groin-obsessed color. Akane tearfully opening up almost her family unit while giving the audition the wet T-shirt treatment is this week's premier example of impeccable mise-en-scène. It'south likewise one of the lewdest shots nosotros've been able to ogle at unperturbed past the void. I guess exposed underwear is bad, but underwear beneath a see-through nurse's outfit is a-ok. Furthermore, I'm glad they lend more than credence to my "Mira is a clone" theory, heavily suggesting that she's a production of experiments to create children without using input from those pesky men. That'south hardly enough to redeem the entire twenty minutes, however.
Here's the worst role: nobody fucks! There's barely whatever nudity, even less fanservice, and similar I said earlier, the all-time scene we go is peppered with dialogue about a dead brother and workaholic mother. I take to honor this episode zero stars on principle. It also ends on the worst annotation possible, with a slicked-back Doi slinking into Reito's room like he'southward the shittiest Nick Fury in the world. Dude looks similar Draco Malfoy. Put those glasses back on, you niggling poser. Don't you have females to subjugate? I can't wait to bid adieu to this toad.
