God, that title. It’s literally trying to assure everyone right off the bat that what’s going to happen ISN’T completely pointless, which is disconcerting considering this show is six episodes long.
We begin with Li’l Sick Girl and Glasses Bunny Girl doing one of those fights where they dance at 4 frames per second all happy and stuff, then one robot explodes and they scream and fly away. Leaving the stage triumphant, Li’l Sick Girl is presented with a towel.
 |
| “Great work out there, now cover your shame.” |
 |
| She has this reaction every time she sees a towel. Bath time was never the same again. |
 |
| “Her sudden retirement has goopy-eyed girls all over the country reeling!” |
 |
| “Oh yes, the part where you could see her dreams shatter? Photo finish, am I right? Ha ha!” |
A few days after the last round, Friend gets shipped off to America since Orange was a selfish asshole last time.
 |
| You’ve earned this shame, Orange. Suffer for your highly-specific and life-destroying dream. |
 |
| “I can’t be losing BOTH meal tickets so soon, after all...” |
So they go to the beach.
LITTLE DID THEY KNOW THE BEACH WAS FULL OF IDOLS!!
 |
| Yeah! Uh...whoever! |
 |
| Instantly,
the “battles, too” rage on. |
As that happens, Glasses Bunny Girl has gone off on a quest. A quest to discover the source of Li’l Sick Girl’s power.
 |
| Ohhh, riiiiight, Pooristan. |
Everybody in the whole neighborhood comes around when they realize this is the last girl whose ass Li’l Sick Girl’s kicked! Everyone’s having a grand old time boasting about her like their own daughter, and then Glasses Bunny Girl gets it.
 |
| “ANYBODY whose cash is supporting 10,000 people would be driven with desperation! Anybody who would beat her for their own dreams would be putting thousands out of work! And evil.” |
 |
| “I’m just sad that Friend won’t be able to come see me in the finals...” |
Oh, and there’s a battle, Yu-Gi-Oh rules, once-an-episode.
 |
| Uwooooooooah. |
It’s also worth mentioning that this is an extraordinarily cheap anime, there were times where the singing just refused to be lip-synched, and one point on the beach where Orange spat out two lines, with just a wide open doopy grin.
 |
| “WIUH YEUH??” |
It’s always reassuring to see more evidence as to why anime’s mostly just an advertising medium used like full-motion commercials for whatever products they’re shilling. But while Venus Project IS fun, this is EXACTLY the same reason why fans gotta support either shows that go the extra mile in quality, or are original stories created for the art of it. Here’s to next season hopefully having GOOD, FUN, and WELL-BUDGETTED shows on the lineup.

| PUHLEEEEEEEEZE??? |
