It’s not like I wanted to watch 9‑Nine: Ruler’s Crown, but I’m forced to—somebody needs to log how this poor visual novel got rushed into an anime. Episode 1 threw everything at me: earthquakes, mystery girl statues, cosplay drama, ghost pins, sister eviction, haunted dolls, and park horrors. If that wasn’t enough, a new earthquake and a fire cliffhanger closed the chapter. I’m only blogging this in case someone wonders why it all fell apart so quickly. B‑baka!
