Economy in this show confuses me too.

Impressions:

Unsurprisingly since this is Seven Arcs and they handle show momentum and pacing with the grace that one typically handles a rabid pregnant greased porcupine, this episode was fairly dull. It is nice that Shinku bounced back fairly quickly from his depression and that they’re moving on to another ‘battle’ with Leon’s brother ‘kidnapping’ Milly, but most of the episode was still spent on Eclair simply telling him about the world, a brief montage of shopping, another montage of Milly practicing singing, and naked Milly. The dogs are okay for their general cheerfulness and lack of caring all that much about being seen naked, but going to just them after Hot Pants is still highly disappointing. Plus, I think the actual dogs in this world are smarter than the dog-people, which is starting to make one owning the other even weirder than it already is.

There’s really not a whole ton else other than some very dull specifics about the world. There are weird spirits, they can open portals and send cell-phone signals through but not Shinku, he didn’t read the fine print on the summoning circle, etc. It wasn’t as dry as just a bunch of talking heads, but it wasn’t exactly interesting either, nor am I entirely certain what the point of the weird little bubble spirits was even supposed to be. That part in particular reeked of them suddenly realizing that they had to fill an extra 30 seconds and tossed in some intern’s doodles. Hopefully we’ll get a nice fight between Shinku and his new rival next week though. Or at least some action from the Zettai Karen Animals.
