English Dub Review: The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess “The Shut-in Vampire Goes Outside”
Overview
The life of an army commander is never dull, as questionable officers, an assassin, and even a duel can attest to.
Our Take
In her new role, Komari faces the challenge of managing her unit generals, each with their own peculiar approaches to waging war. However, suspicions arise regarding Komari’s true identity, particularly in light of insider reports and encounters with enemies like the masked girl intent on taking her life. Despite the uncertainties, Komari forges alliances and asserts her authority, even amidst challenges like a duel provoked by a disgruntled opponent.
With Lieutenant Yohann Helders no match for Komari, Vill orchestrates her victory, showcasing the power dynamics within their unit. Komari’s survival in a perilous situation is owed to Vill’s intervention, yet the reasons behind Vill’s attachment to her remain elusive. As tensions escalate and alliances shift, the invitation to the perverted Empress’s party sets the stage for further intrigue and conflict.
Overall, despite the wacky humor and fan service, deeper mysteries unfold, hinting at Komari’s enigmatic past and the true intentions of characters like Millicent of the Inverse Moon. With characters like Cerberus and Johan gaining prominence, the chemistry between the cast members becomes more fleshed out. As the plot thickens and revelations loom, the post-credits promise possible twists ahead…
Short of getting Roiland back, which I'm sure isn't going to happen, I don't even think they could get much better than the new voices from the previous season. And the ratings for season 7 weren't much lower on average than for season 6; it was pretty much just a normal season-to-season drop that most likely would have happened regardless.
I mean, look at the actual averages:
Season 1 - 1.57 million viewers Season 2 - 1.97 million viewers Season 3 - 2.33 million viewers Season 4 - 1.52 million viewers Season 5 - 0.96 million viewers Season 6 - 0.56 million viewers Season 7 - 0.42 million viewers
Ever since season 3, it had been having steep drops even with Roiland still involved; the season 6 to 7 drop is actually the smallest-percentage drop it's had since it started dropping, and if anything it's possible that changing the voice actors actually *boosted* interest a bit and prevented it from dropping even more.
