I was really looking forward to this one. Writer Gen Urobuchi is not only the mastermind behind one of my all-time favourite works of fiction in any medium with Puella Magi Madoka Magica, but he’s also responsible for getting me into kaiju stories with the animated Godzilla trilogy. His knack for heart-crushingly tragic storytelling is something I’ll always be in the mood for… or so I thought, as his latest penned feature isn’t so hot.
