天下制覇

Oh good, they changed the spelling… again.

Impressions:

Bleh. Well, not quite the episode I expected, but still pretty much nothing about why I like this show. Why must comedy shows suddenly crank up the angst and nonsense in the eleventh hour? Play to your strengths, dammit. 

Anyway, Tanarot is apparently a-okay after her tree-stabbing, aside from an itchy bandage, but Takuto turns out to be the real problem since he’s the one with the power to disrupt the divine balance or whatever and because he went berserk, he’s now sealed up by all the powerful people in a world of his own creation devoid of all the magic and fun of his life except for Futaba (who is probably more fun than he deserves) and a kind of hybridized but sickly Suzuho who has lines ripped straight from a bad porn game. Blah blah blah angsty angsty angsty and no humor whatsoever. Takuto’s harem gives up on him partway through the rescue attempt once they learn what’s actually going on, except for Tanarot, who hops right onto the magical whatsit and is transformed into her component bits, only to become Takuto’s dream and drives him to recreate her with science thus breaking the magical world apart.

Eitarou gets a few points for going up against Ag and Gab on his own, not to mention the line "I’m not just a human, I’m Eitarou Sakuma!" before his own limit break or whatever that was. The end of that encounter wasn’t actually shown, though I am rather disappointed that he didn’t drag Miyabi and Sync along on the rescue mission. Any episode without Miyabi and Sync is a sad episode indeed. There’s also the question of what exactly happened to the espers after Takuto went berserk. I didn’t mind them at all, especially when equipped with the magical Tsundere Bunny Ears.

One more episode to go, and since they skipped the OP and the episode continued through half of the ED this week, I’ll assume that they’re back to random silliness, which is where they should have been all along to begin with.
