Premise: A red fog rolls into Tokyo and awakens powerful abilities in certain people. They must now battle each other while trying to figure out whats going on.

The Good: Some of the character designs were good. They were all edgelord chunibyo personas taken to hilarious extremes. They had capes and eyepatches and meaningless bandages and such. That aesthetic is fun.

The Bad: Lord of Vermilion was an incredibly low-budget production, so I almost feel bad for pointing out its numerous flaws. It starts falling apart immediately with its confused setting. A bunch of people have disappeared in a huge disaster, Tokyo is sealed off by a mysterious fog, and monsters are appearing everywhere. How are people handling this supernatural apocalypse? From the few glimpses we get of regular people, its going fine. Food and resources are never a concern. Universities are still holding classes. Concerts are attended by well-dressed, excited people. The main characters at least take things seriously, but there are way too many of them to follow and their motivations are constantly shifting. The first episode is unintentionally hilarious, it opens with a battle where dozens of different characters just keep arriving one after the other.

Overall: Most things ranked below Lord of Vermilion are of higher quality and simply made me angry. This never made me angry. It scored low based on its poor quality alone. The story honestly makes more sense if you imagine this as a chunibyo fantasy a bunch of nerds are acting out while onlookers cringe from second-hand embarrassment.

COMING UP TOMORROW:
240: I defeated this anime using strategies I looked up online.
239: This anime showed that its never fun to fight on the Eastern Front.

(Today and I'm guessing the next few days probably aren't going to get a lot of comments. Luckily (or unluckily depending on your point of view) the early 3/10s will knock out quite a few popular anime!)
