The Rookie: The Overnight (2020)
Season 2, Episode 16
1/10
Crisis of continuity
8 April 2020
I was hoping this would be a bright light in this Covid19 time. However, the worse episode of the rookie so far. The characters all regressed. All the developments and progress went out the window like this was an earlier episode airing out of order. The final wrap up tried to save the episode but it couldn't find it's way home.

If Disney made Japanimation TV series it would be this bad
20 April 2015
This show is one of the worst example of Japanimation period. The setup is a re-hashed orphan saves the world. Despite having several female characters the male character who is by all rights the weakest takes center stage to become the hero. I watched every episode and it follows this basic formula. Enemy steals mana from people. Emiya finds out and tries to confront them on his own. Emiya finds himself in trouble after getting in a fight with a servant. Dagger shows up to help him out. However, mid fight he tells Dagger not to fight and yells out her name "Daaagger" (Queue the pulsing big anima eyes at each other). Dagger fights anyway and Dagger and Emiya find a way to win/draw and everything resets. Next episode they do the same thing over and over until about episode 18. I had to finish the show however so I could see if it had a good ending.
