The Demon King in the Back Row #05 — Harem +3
April 30th, 2010
Dragon, crazy incestuous girl, and Ms. Stretchy.
Impressions:
Great episode all around. Teruya continues to be a very fun character and deserves a spot in the main harem, Sai got to go into badass mode a couple times, we discovered Fujiko’s brother’s torrid homosexual love affair, Fujiko ran off to accidentally unseal a dragon, which Sai then punched into submission. Lily also finally showed some of her skills, which apparently include being really really flexible. It was a little bit silly that they tried to play the whole thing off as just one big test for all of five seconds, but at least it was a roundabout way of showing off the student council’s abilities and… giving Sai a dragon. I really am quite happy that so many characters in this show now have schemes within schemes after the beginning episode’s showcase of abject stupidity. Sai hasn’t improved all that much, but at least he can hit things and grin like a badass. That gets you further than you might think.
I do, however, really wish that they hadn’t used the OP as the insert song, they had picked a different effect for the flashbacks other than hyperspace, and the big dramatic fight consisted of something more than glaring and then a couple explosive punches, but at least they’re making due with what what little budget they have. I will also note that the show managed to continue the theme of the last few days of having highly radioactive genitals. What the hell do they put in the water in Japan these days? Forget Al Qaeda, we need to worry about the crotches of Japanese school girls causing some kind of horrible nuclear disaster on our shores.

Just wondering, did you already drop Tatami Galaxy?
