If I End
So that was chapter 1 of If I.
The setting kicks off pretty well. No idea of who she is or how she got there, for both us and Ani. The strange space planets that no one knows why it works or how they function. So this place is just as mysterious to the characters as it is too us.
Ani and Pike’s design is so cute, and creative as hell. Pike I can like understand with round eyes, croc tail, humanoid fishman. But Ani, damn she is so out there. Sideway eyes, crosses for pupils, that tail thing on the back of her shoulders. I’m trying to see the eyes sideways but my brain keeps making me want to see I _ I all the time. I absolutely love it, and I love her!
Then the mystery shadow demon. Eyeball was toyed with in the beginning, setting up some big shit, then just barely arrived at the end. My guess is that maybe Ani was a sacrifice to him and was pulled to space or something, but either she forgot or she wasn’t supposed to leave, and now things got screwed.
On my Fibonacci scale of 1 to 21, I would give this an 8. Like the set up and the characters are endearing, would love to see this mystery unfold, and more of that demon shadow guy.
