Cinnamon Ass

Kyrie, Toppy and Morte run out of gas so they hitch a ride with a travelling boatman - Kyrie also has strange dreams about Morte’s past, rather bizarrely, but I’m sure those will get revisited when the show deigns to reveal Morte’s backstory to us. It’s somewhat contrived that neither Kyrie nor Toppy has forced her to tell them exactly what’s going on, but it’s just one of those massive logic holes that I’m going to have to overlook.

Anyway, they end up on a pleasure ship where a cat girl steals the Destruct Code to barter to free her father from debter’s gaol. Hijinks ensue, as Morte gambles against a member of the World Preservation Committee and gets into a fight with his half-dragon sidekick (who appears to have a thing for Kyrie).

I don’t know why I’m so tolerant of this show when you couldn’t get me to touch Slayers Revolution with a barge pole this season. World Destruction is fairly uninspiring stuff really - it’s not on the generally average level of Erementer Gerad, but it certainly doesn’t have the polish of something like Scrapped Princess despite the Production IG team working on it. It’s not very funny, it’s not very dramatic so far, it’s just quite good fun really. Kyrie IS a bit annoying at times, and I have no idea what the point of all this is going to be, but I think Morte’s a relatively interesting female lead for this type of show at least. At this stage, though, I guess it’s too early to tell whether it’s going to bore me to death in the end.
