Another two episodes of Assassins Pride and I'm thoroughly convinced that this anime doesn't know what it wants to be. Between school slice of life antics, tournaments that are over before they start and supernatural drama there's so many possible paths and yet no clarity or focus. The end result is that by episode 6 I'm finding myself watching the clock more than the show.
