天下制覇

Apparently that’s the sound that sheep make.

Impressions:

You know, if I came home to find a stuffed bear ritualistically slaughtered and pinned to the wall with a carving knife, I don’t think that sewing it up would be my top concern at that moment. Actually, that goes for just about anything I found ritualistically slaughtered. One thing I can positively say about this show is that it’s really churning through all these cliches. Just this one episode, we went through the cult of stalkers, the forced date, the physical checkup, and back to stalkers for some jokes about Kinjiro being gay and after Subaru. At this rate, they’re either going to run out of cliches by episode 4 or have to start repeating themselves.

A lot of the episode in general was toned down from last week, both with the weird music and the fanservice. Yes, the brief delusion of Konoe was still shameless as all hell and there’s only one way you can really take a girl shoving her head into a guy’s crotch to ‘serve’ him (and just for the record, she’s getting something poured on her here), but that was pretty much about it for the episode. I’m not sure if it was overall too much better or not from the first episode, but at least it kept moving enough to not dwell on any one particularly terrible part for too long.

And yeah, Konoe meeeeeeeehing was fairly cute.

Preview:

Water park, angsty flashbacks, and the antagonist of Aria returns.
