Is This a Zombie? #09 — Feelings!
March 7th, 2011
Nothing more than… feelings!
Impressions:
Ugh. This show’s lack of focus in its writing continues to do a number on it. It’s forgivable when it’s just being slapstick comedy, but not when it tries to introduce about four different super ultra mega adjective adverb dramatic plot threads at once, not explaining anything (and even have the characters yelling about how they have no idea what’s going on), and then just dropping half of it again immediately. The middle 15 minutes or so was barely tangentially related to the rest, and even then, Mael’s sudden case of berserkitis made the sky whale look sensical in comparison. And this is from the same thing that not 5 seconds before was being used as a joke to comically sit on Haruna. Mael wasn’t even that dangerous. Not counting hamstringing Ayumu, she attacked all of twice and it takes reciting a damn paragraph to even do that.
So let’s see where this episode took us. This started out with Eu and apparently one of her old zombie friends talking about how her emotionals are responsible for all the monsters lately with Sera confirming it and arguing with Ayumu about her new orders to kill Eu, went into Eu accidentally summoning a giant pudding bird that sat on Haruna until Haruna’s teacher showed up and shot it off her… onto Mael, who went berserk and summoned the slowest casting stand ever before Ayumu cured her with the power of giving her a hug… back to Eu leaving them because of things revealed two minutes into the episode. Long enough run-on sentence for you? Because that’s what the episode felt like. Thrown together with barely any thought, lunging violently from one thing to the next. And oh yeah, in the end, they never actually revealed who that guy was, what he really wanted, or anything about him. The way this show squanders its antagonists should be criminal.
