>It's basically every LN adaptation ever : boring and uninspired + story riddled with plot holes and retarded character decisions.
That does seem to be the majority of them, doesn't it? Exceptions exists, but they are few and infrequent.
It's a shame. I think VE has all the necessary components needed to be a pretty good watch. On paper, the basic plot isn't horrible, the setting is uncommon (and thus interesting), the cast is wide and varied, the themes are heavier than the norm, and it's all wrapped up in KyoAni's money blanket. It just fails at each and every one of these in varying ways, culminating in a technically sound production that succeeds most in being boring as sin. Shitposter-kun said it truly; Violet Everboring.
It'd be nice if they threw a spanner in the works somewhere soon, but I'm not naive enough to hope for it. We'll likely be doing comrade of the week self-contained "emotional" stories for the next 5 or so episodes, followed by one last mini-arc of Robot-chan learning love to wrap it all up. God save us.
