Hai to Gensou no Grimgar: Furoagari no Kabe ni Kaketa Seishun - One More Centimeter

It is the very philosophical question to life, this episode here. The carnal desires of man, what makes us truly human. Y'see, I would be doing not only myself, but also the MyAnimeList community a complete, total, utter disservice if I were to give this episode right here anything less than a 10/10, and so that is what I shall give.

Sure sure, this episode may not offer any progression to the story, and may just be some fanservice or a filler extension of the episodes, and has no true depth to the story whatsoever, that being said we get to relate to the four ... main male protagonists on a personal- no, on a heart to heart level in all 11 minutes here.

Is this mini-episode crucial to the story? No, I would not say so. Is it enjoyable regardless? Oh, yes.

So I watched the original series a few years ago and dropped it midway. I recently decided to rewatch it and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't as bad as I remembered it (it's just that the middle got a little lost). On the same day that I finished it, I decided to watch this special and as you can tell from my score, I was not impressed.


[Why?]

As a girl, it's hard for me to fully understand this trope in anime for guys to be obsessed with girls breasts and creeping around to see them naked. I won't lie, moments of this special were amusing, ... yet I felt like this was the one part of the series that I was happy we moved passed and am mildly irritated that they decided to put emphasis onto it in a special. I was looking forward to a little more character development, but I guess I'll have to go read the manga for that.


[Overall? or TLDR]
Disappointing, probably hilarious to you if you are a Japanese guy.

I watched this thinking I was getting more story.

This is an extra episode for the 12-episode series, and it isn't anything you should watch at all. It's an 11-minute scene of people being stupid. The pervert character takes center stage (being the absolute worst one of the cast) to lead a side plot that only makes the series all the more terrible. The series itself has incredible elements that have to be saved up for something in the future, but this is terrible. The characters are juvenile as hell, when the series itself aims for a mature, grounded approach. No situation like this feels ... grounded, or interesting, not even funny. It's just a stupid episode that the series needed to shake off from the rest (and already flawed) plot.

Not recommended at all, skip it, absolutely. A waste of time for everybody involved.
