What we have here amounts to a third try at making Kill la Kill good vs a third attempt at making Ancient Magus Bride good. Will J get Rent-a-Girlfriended again by something that seems psuedodeep? Or will this anime version of Beauty and the Beast have us restore pur hope in the anime world? Or will it just be another slugfest of two sexless nematoads? These are questions. The answers possibly lie within.
