>>9196571oh well
at least ZLS can rest easy knowing that in terms of "Shows with the greatest amount of wasted potential" it doesn't even come close to pic related.
Darling is kind of like the Hammer Mjolnir. Mjolnir is the most powerful weapon in the universe but because of a fly (loki) biting the eyelid of the dwarves who made it to distract them, it caused a flaw in the weapon. A flaw that if it wasn't there, Mjolnir would have even been more powerful. But alas it wasn't.
But that doesn't mean that Mjolnir still isn't a ridiculously powerful weapon.
Such is the case with Darling, even those the last 6-8 episodes of it are international warcrimes against humanity-tier, the first 16 are so good that it would still be wildly incorrect to call the series a bad series.
