During the course of any given battle, Moroha CAN AND WILL utter the phrase “I remember”, as he randomly remembers something that occurred in a past life, thus giving him the ability to win a battle without any kind of repercussions. And this is all because of the phrase “I remember.” Just two words, everybody. Because of how the series presents these battles, the impact of said conflict is little to none. Throughout the whole series, our main protagonist faces problems and issues that pertain to the series, aka metaphysicals terrorizing the world, or people wanting to kill him for reasons unknown, you get the idea. Yes, the central thing of World Break is its main problem. Simply put, after finishing a specific event, World Break jumps headfirst into the next arc in the next episode without word or warning, creating an awkward transition and overall, a very distasteful experience.Īs far as actual plot goes, every individual arc is quite separate from one another, with some of them bordering on sheer ridiculousness and the simple question of “why is he doing this?” (Like seriously, bastard goes to war BY HIMSELF in one arc.) Not that the stories are particularly bad per say, but I feel as though each one was done in a spur of because of how dramatic the situation can and will change in any given arc.īut overall though, I think the biggest problem with this series is the plot device known as “reincarnation”. The problem with this though is just how clunky the transitions are. The series is made in an arc-like setup, with different arcs and events that pertain to each small set of episodes which make up the entire series.

With the series spanning over the course of six in-anime months, the events within that timespan aren’t really told in the most fluent of manner. Throughout the runtime of World break, the series never really puts its plot points together. But apart from this though, the story falls VERY flat, entering into the void of lazy writing and predictability. While the infodump is subpar at best, with some things not getting a complete explanation, the first few episodes do give insight as to how the world of World Break actually works. In the first couple episodes, the show attempts to explain the ideas that it wants to establish, showcasing the idea of reincarnation and how it corresponds to the weapons and abilities that these students wield. It is here where we have Haimura Moroha, our main protagonist enter the school that specializes in harnessing the power that people have wielded in their past lives in order to fight the mysterious creatures known as metaphysicals.Īs far as story setup goes, World Break doesn’t particularly do a well and proper explanation. Reincarnation exists in this world of fantasy where each life lived can be passed down to the current version of the person they are. But never overuse them then it becomes wishful thinking. Sure in small doses it can work to serve the plot and can help to further the story along. Plot armor exists to make it so that the protagonist can’t be hurt in any way and glorify their status as protagonists.
