With the start of the winter season, we are entering one of the most legendary seasons of all time!
With shows such as AOT, Re: Zero S2, TPN S2, and many more!
However, it is my goal to search for the hidden gems of the season, the dark horses that go unnoticed until a potential spike in popularity.
And I believe I may have just found a new hidden gem already; Urasekai picnic, a.k.a Outside Picnic, or what I like to call it CUTE ANIME GIRLS WITH GUNS VS CUTHULU, with a whole lot of yuri.
Outside Picnic begins with a young girl named Sorao, laying in a lake in a post-apocalyptic setting, described as the “otherside”. As she is an having an existential crisis, she is attacked by a mysterious cthulu like entity “willy-waggles” that causes you to go insane if you look into its eyes, similar to bird box. And at the last minute she is rescued by another woman named Toriko.
After they introduce themselves, they discover a cube displaying the picture of the earth. Seemingly loot dropped by the mysterious figures after they’re slain.
JUST WOW!
Already starting off with an interesting premise off that bat. It reminds of me various alien movies such as the happening, a quiet place, and bird box.
We follow Sorao, a timid depressed girl who just wants to survive, and Toriko, an aloof curious lady who will stop at nothing to discover the vast mysteries of the other side.
Throughout the episode, they grow a bond as other side adventurers; discussing the occult enigma of the unsettling other world. At first Sorao is hesitant at returning to the other side, but is easily concedes because of her burning drive to understand the truth. And possibly, because she just made a cute friend after years of loneliness lol.
Expect a whole bunch of more yuri greatness, because the opening shows off numerous girls that will join the gang.
As they return to the otherworld, they almost get slaughtered by a bunch of aliens on an elevator to hell. The alien designs could be creepier but are a little hard to take serious because of their goofy animations lol.
Then after a near fatal encounter with another willy-waggle, Toriko fucking shoots the bitch in the eye! Yeah, if you didn’t know by the title or the thumbnail, this show is littered with guns! Toriko pulls out the strap multiple times and we see multiple girls with different type of guns; ranging from pistols, shotguns, rifles etc...
Now my main concern for this show is the battle of its tone. On One hand it seems dark and terrifying, but then in the next moment, it’s very lighthearted and the other side doesn’t seem like a threat so far.
Also, the CGI is TERRIBLE! It’s very noticeable considering how often it’s used, so you can tell the budget for this show isn’t that high.
However, I will most definitely be giving this show the 3 – episode rule at least.
So, if you’re interested in a cute girl's vs cuthulu like aliens with a whole lotta yuri, then Urasekai picnic is the show for you!
