天下制覇

I wonder if every other episode is just going to be Okarin visiting all his ‘women.’

Impressions:

This is as good a place to throw in the towel as any, particularly because even less happened this week than in past weeks and while probably not quite as cheap as the flying lights and recycled footage, the direction was lazier and cheaper than ever. The camera had an almost magnetic attraction to walls, vending machines, random pieces of scrap metal scenery, etc. I guess the episode was ostensibly meant to flesh out Makise a little more, but all they really showed is that she has daddy issues. Her interactions with Okarin are 95% less entertaining when the camera is focused on the coin slot of a washing machine.

Meanwhile, Okarin is off in hot pursuit of the IBN PC, so it means that he’ll be going on another tour through his harem. It’s almost indistinguishable from particularly bad filler from Slayers or something where they have to play magical tennis because for some reason, the trophy is the Claire Bible… or maybe an adventure game where you need to use the monkey as a wrench to make rat vichyssoise to trade it for a voodoo necklace. Before you get the magical widget, you must… do some laundry! Okay, now… face this waitress! Maybe… Visit that transgendered priestess! Okay, quest over. Once again, it ends with the guy in drag. Like I said, a good a place as any to cut my losses and flee.
