Review
Jashin-Chan Dropkick X, the third season, oh did I pray for your sublimity to correspond to a type of humor like Happy Tree Friends. Oh did I pray to you to give us moments as absurd as also pitiful with your angels and demons. Oh did I pray you to re-use the running gag that could still work after three seasons straight, namely Jashin-Chan’s Dropkick (Duh!). Oh did I pray to your humor more meta than ever.
Of course that I’m angry. Even extremely disappointed with the beauty it could give us. This season could not exist if our dear Japanese friends did not give to the crowdfunding enough a few months after the second season was broadcast. The hype was insane when I saw that it was finally in production. And goodness gracious how I overestimated it.
I do not want to summarize the other seasons, thinking that all of you had already seen them before looking at the third, unless you are attracted only by the presence of Hatsune Miku. I’ll let you know that I feel disgusting to say that this season was the worst that I saw for now.
The first episodes were magnificent, especially the first in terms of “haha, we finally have a third season” as well as the presence of Hatsune Miku, who is actually important for a few episodes. There was that beautiful usual layer of humor, so nothing wrong could happen, but I don’t know who was largely in charge of the script of almost half of the anime, but I feel that this person really wanted us to share their touristy vacations. It was here that I felt sold by a company, an individual being stupid enough to be the type to consume everything that has a name of something I really enjoy watching/playing.
A complete arc of five episodes was dedicated to the promotions of cities in Japan with the use of Jashin-Chan Dropkick’s characters, as in order to sell us the desire to go there. On the other hand, the main reason for why they present them to us, is because at some point in the anime, Jashin-Chan finds herself in dept of billion and billion yen. And so, she simply travel through the entire land of Japan to find a way to remedy her debts, by also presenting the “do not miss” monuments from the cities she visits.
Except that I don’t care about that.
I’m someone who lives in North America who can’t afford a trip to Japan yet, and who still studies at school in audio-visual. If by pure chance I want to watch a tourist anime, then someone needs to call a studio for making them decide to pull their fingers out of their ass and decide to animate one, unless it exists, which wouldn’t even surprise me. I watch this anime in order to laugh without having to think about why the snake girl regenerates every time you cut her tail like a piece of ham. And even if it comes straight from the original manga, now I could understand the author’s desire to try new things, the end result shows us a huge filler arc with no progression to the main storyline. Our group of characters seemed more here as people giving reactions rather than playing their own initial roles. It was just as horrible to watch as some think it was horrible to watch Endless Eight in Haruhi Suzumiya.
Otherwise, the rest of the anime remained fine, yet very disappointing that an arc lasting almost half of the anime ruins the hype I had for almost a year. When I’d seen the last three episodes and they went all out on new characters, I wondered if they just couldn’t show them from the start, like… Directly in the 5th episode. Not now, because someone wanted to show their vacations, I guess.
For those who saw this anime because of Hatsune Miku, just know for now that you will be served. Oh yes! The first time I saw her while having the chance to know the anime before it blow up made me burst out laughing and she still stays in character despite the circumstances. Please, however, if you like meta and bloodthirsty humor, watch the other seasons first, then just find the moments with Hatsune Miku in the Escape Arc and skip it after all five episodes!
