It looks like it's just a dozen games of go played simultaneously on a daft rotating thing. :shrug:

Milk's on them.


Only through the first couple episodes, but I "like" how every (living) woman in this anime so far is depicted as either sinister/villainous, insane, or an undetailed background character. I guess that's one thing accurate to Catholicism.

yeah the whole "teehee! I don't understand anything about how real world stuff works and I wrote a show anyway!" thing is a lot less charming when its targeted at Africans

i'm dropping this. the first arc was hilarious, but everything since then has been dull as dirt.

I thought this arc started out iffy but by the end I dug it. It was very dumb and very gay.

Also the racism was a red herring for more church crimes (to an extent lol). I hope every arc ends with catholics loving up and the main characters don't change their devotion to the church at all.

How far, Doctor?
How long have you lived?

I don't think I can be happy unless these gay priests kiss. :ohdear:

It's still really stupid and convoluted, and I love how there was an entire separate level of bullshit beneath the initial level of bullshit. I guess father Julia and his inseminated devil child are the main antagonists now?

Maybe they should just start assuming every head priest they meet is actually a satanist.

I went into this show hoping for a combination of mystery and religious horror. The protagonists investigate miracles and fight Satanists with science! What could go wrong?!

I'm 8 episodes in, and I don't know what I'm feeling now. It's definitely not joy--more bafflement mixed with fascination. I think the last time I felt this way I was watching Valvrave.

The utter insanity of these convoluted plans, it's kind of impressive in a twisted sense.

Good lord, Roberto, Julia clearly wanted to kill you, he just couldn't resist the temptation of an easily escaped death trap. It's a common condition among villains.

I'm sad the rest of the show wasn't as great as the first arc but I liked it a lot.

it would have been way better if the literal doublehitler was a recurring antagonist and not a weird baby skeleton that was shown in passing

I just wanted more twists as weird as hitler babies tho I guess there's not much further you can go.

There's always a chance that Julia is also a hitlerbaby.

Same, but with the convoluted deaths by mere circumstance.

Two lessons this episode:

1) Sometimes satanists are just good guys who help you out no strings attached!
2) If you're going to leave behind a bunch of messages hidden in books for someone to read after you die you should probably leave a note or something letting them know they exist.

Truly, satanists were the greatest miracle of all

I somehow don't think this is going to get a second season
