Sengoku BASARA 2 #04 — Hisahide’s Lecture Power Hour

August 1st, 2010

 

Are you ready for some talking!?

Impressions:

An extremely boring episode that consisted of about 97% talking heads. Hisahide alone just kept going on and on for nearly ten straight minutes about Nobunaga and Oichi et al for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Then they went the most abysmal of all routes with the Hideyoshi/Masamune fight resolution by showing that Masamune lost before flashing back to show him get trounced in a single blow. Couldn’t we at least have the semblance of drama here? Obviously he’s not going to beat Hideyoshi four episodes into the series, but don’t reveal the end of the fight and then flash back to it.

Oichi’s new diclonius arms were just about the only exciting thing in the episode, but of course, she’s now run off with Nobunaga’s remnant troops to go do Nobunaga things. That scene was also not done any favors by Yukimura’s consitpated groaning. Masamune’s men dogpiling him to try to protect him was also amusing, but I’m really not entirely sure how or why that would have stopped Hideyoshi… or how having a dozen guys in armor jump on top of him wouldn’t have simply crushed him to death. It looks like Motonari’s joining Team Jesus-Hulk too, which unfortunately means that they’re probably going to have to give another few speeches explaining him and Motochika. I miss the days of Yukimura and Shingen shouting at each other or Sasuke harassing Kasuga. Why can’t we have that again instead of Yet Another Show Full of Talking Headstm?

I’m out for the entire day in about 90 minutes, so if I don’t get to Sekirei before then, it’ll have to wait until after the wedding/reception late tonight.

Preview:

Apparently most of next week is about Masamune getting dressed.
