Pupa Episode FINAL - Larva

It's finally time to bring this baby home after all this time. The train is coming back to the station, folks, and it won't be leaving again.

Which is my subtle way of calling this show a train wreck. Which is why it won't be leaving again.

This is the last episode of this completely abysmal show, so let's see just where it ends up eh?

So let's pretend for a moment that you sat through this whole thing and made it to the end. What is your reward for this most daunting of tasks?

Well, they immediately start with a title slide so if you're hoping for a recap, you're sorely disappointed there. Don't worry though, your reward is quickly incoming.

Congratulations. We have come full circle.

But wait. Just wait.

Ladies and gentlemen, the train has jumped the tracks.

Look closely at the book the boy is holding. Look familiar? OH YEAH HE IS READING PUPA. YOU KNOW THE STORY THAT HE IS CURRENTLY TAKING PART IN. ALSO WE HOPE THIS SUPER CHIBI STYLE DOESN'T THROW YOU OFF BECAUSE WE THINK IT IS TOTALLY SWEET AND COMPLETELY DESERVING OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR GENRE.

You cannot honestly tell me you are still trying at this point.

She is sad because they can't 'fix' her bear. Or rather that her bear won't get 'better'. And being children they are unable to afford a new bear. Just ignore the fact that stepping on a bear is hardly enough to cause it to burst cotton, or the fact that some thread and a needle could fix this problem. He wants to 'repay' her for the hairpin she gave him but only has two hundred yen, so what is he to-

WHAT THE F**K IS THIS?!

So psycho bunny says... oh good god just whatever you do DO NOT DRINK THE KOOL AID. JUST DON'T. IT CAN'T END WELL.

WHY ARE THESE MASCOTS SO TERRIFYING?

First prize is a giant teddy bear. Okay. Sure.

I hope that they are terrified because this dude's laugh
is just screaming "I will rape you to death".

Sadly, they don't win and their consolation prize is... I dunno. A packet of tissues? Then some other kid shows up and oh my god is this artwork just getting worse as the show drags on?

I guess ANYONE can make anime these days.

So dude is all "you can have my ticket whatever, I don't need a giant bear anyways, but you better win or else". Sadly, he doesn't win. At which point the creepy f***ing mascot is all "anyone who passes up chances is doomed, kid".

... how is that supposed to be enlightening, exactly? But hey the sisters give him three more tries.

Like how it takes real talent to make a show this bad?

He gets one more try though, it's his last chance, so spin spin and a blue ball pops out, shocking everyone. It's.... seventh prize.

At least they have a seventh prize.

So he gives his sister the hairpin and she's all "eh my bear is still here put the thing on me" so he does and everyone is happy and spinning and his sister begins to radiate f***ing rainbows and shit like she is having a transcendant f***ing experience. Holy shit.

She promises to take good care of it, and....

Wait. That's the end?

THAT IS THE F***ING PAYOFF TO THIS GODAWFUL PIECE OF SHIT?!?!

... no.

No. NO no no nO NO NO NO. THAT CAN'T BE IT. YOU CANNOT BE HONESTLY TELLING ME.

Yeah. That's it. That's the entire show.

... what was even accomplished here? I don't even know. But what I do know is this:

They must have really gone out of their way to ensure that this would be the biggest steaming pile of cow pies outside of Heifer, Texas.

... this is definitely the worst show I have ever seen to completion in my life. And that's saying a lot.
