Melody of Oblivion eps 19-21

[meganbmoore]

I no longer understand what is going on.  Possibly, they are starting to explain things.  I do not know.  I did catch the explanation of the first Meros warrior and the origin of the Monster King, as well as the reveal about Koko's identity, but then I watched ep 21 and all semblance of thought and abilty to process was chased from my brain.  And I know telophaseis going to comment and say that I haven't reached the worst part yet.

I am not even going to try to explain, I will just post screencaps.  They say it better than I ever could.  If you click the cut and are eternally scarred by what you see, you are not allowed to never speak to me again, as I'm warning you now.  Also, no one is allowed to hold this anime against me in any context!

Koko's father and his first love getting frisky in the school nurse's office at the beginning of the monster war:
 

Then this happens:


The monster king and his Fowl of Doom:



I do not know what these are meant to symbolize, and am most likely happier that way:


Oh look, they only target one person:


Bocca saving everyone with no effort.  Again.


Did I ever mention where Koko keeps her bow?


I. Do. Not. Know.


Uhm...Sayoko wanted Bocca to marry her before he took off for space to save the planet.  It didn't really make sense to me.  I think they just wanted this:


And look, the shackles now point to him!


I.  Do.  Not.  Know.


Nor do I know what the point of this is:


Monster Union Guy likes it:


Monster Union Lady has my reaction:


I will not give you context for these next pictures.  Context will not make it better.  It will only make it worse. It is new heights even for this anime.  You must share in my pain.












Here, these two will boggle, but not hurt like the last sequence:

No, you've hit it. The COWS. Where they say MOO. and get MILKED.

...

I think the milking is in the next episode. That, or my brain was too tried by other things for it to really register what was going on. At this point, I think that every 3 minutes, something happens that kills my brain for the next 2 1/2 minutes. IT IS TOO MUCH. MY BRAIN WAS NOT MADE TO HANDLE THESE THINGS. At the end, pigtails does go "MOO."

(Good grief...it makes Ninja Scroll look like a feminist manifesto, and that had a tree woman getting raped by a toxic villain on screen.)

If you haven't got to that yet, then GOSH YOU'RE IN FOR A TREAT!

I JUST REWATCHED THE SCENE. I NOW REALIZE THAT THEY ARE SAYING "MOO" INSTEAD OF "OOOO" AS THEY TOSS THE BALL, BUT THEY WERE ONLY ONSCREEN FOR ABOUT 40 SECONDS IN THE EPISODE! THERE WAS JUST OGLING AND MONSTER UNION FOLKS TALKING ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THEY CAN HAVE ONE.

THERE IS MORE! MUCH MORE!

Dude, those screencaps make pretty much anything Hideyuki Kikuchi has written a feminist manifesto.

Who?

And keep in mind that I am only showing certain parts! I have left out all the times the anime has found an excuse to shove Bocca's face in Koko's butt, and all the Sayoko stuff, and the branding/bondage...

Dude who writes Vampire Hunter D, Wicked City, and all those books.

I understand I have not yet truly seem the horror of the cows.
