EP. REVIEW: Momentary Lily

Yh it's kinda like saying a movie filmed entirely at dutch angles is "brave" and "dared to be different". The only GoHands show i've liked was K and that was because it at least tried to merge decent to good storytelling and characters with an interesting visual style. But since then GoHands has just gone style over substance and even said style is largely lens flares and things constantly moving.

This sent me. Good on you for using the in-universe pronunciation, too. (Why W'z the character is "wise" and W'z the show is "whizz", I'll never know.)

this "review" isn't criticism, it's bullying.

“And that's what scares you the most, isn't it?” Dr. Lytta said. She was Glaring down at me with a mixture of disgust and pity that made me want to slither out of my skin and collapse into some anonymous gutter. “It's not just that the sHow is bad. It's that the show is made by people who are clearly capable of making Animation that is, if Not “good,” then at least functional. It means that all of the harm they do, all of the pain they bring into the world…it is Done with purpose. And only one Studio is capable of that.”

GoHands keeps exposing how people are not so honest when they demand creativity and less generic mass appeal stuff

You're trying to do this spiel about an anime blatantly cribbing off Madoka and where all the characters are some sort of bland anime character stereotype who constantly repeat their one quirk like they're parrots. There is no creativity to be found here, it is the epitome of generic mass appeal in an attempt to get them some money.

In fact, GoHands themselves did the "girls in a post-apocalyptic city" scenario more than a decade back with Coppelion.

The brunette, girl, Eri, has breasts that move independently of the rest of her body and in defiance of every known law of physics.

As for this article, I think it would behoove Mr. Beckett not to try so hard. Yes, Momentary Lily is kinda dumb, but that's no excuse to try to outmatch it in that regard.

The series will probably get a full-series review when it wraps up in the conventional format. If you don't enjoy what will happen in this space every week, I recommend waiting for that.

Personally, I find the arrangement contrived and artificial, but then I'm just a big ole spoilsport. I enjoy me a good rant but I like when they occur organically as opposed to the planned, "oh here's a title we all hate, let's vote for it to get it reviewed, have somebody treat it like a pinata and we'll all clap our seal fins together in delight." Bah, humbug.

It just seems to me that this style of writing is not really his thing.

No, it is. He's being doing it for awhile and a large enough people enjoy it that they vote for him to continue to do it. Again, sorry you didn't enjoy it.
