天下制覇

Please… please stop trying to sing in English.

Impressions:

Well, I guess this is the most entertaining thing to write about in the entire Monday through Wednesday span, so I’m stuck with it, but this episode took away Raika, the one thing I sort of liked in the first episode. In its place was bad melodrama, the first part of which was the MC firmly clutched within the thighs and breasts of his older sister in the bath while they float through space. When that’s what kicks off your angsty flashback, you need to reevaluate things. I think that Feel couldn’t resist its nature and had to jam in a naked female body somewhere.

I guess it at least finally made it to the gimmick/blurb on the website, but getting there still took two montages and one tone deaf Engrish rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, so it’s not like the show has suddenly solved its pacing issues either though. Did Perfect Strangers take an hour to get to Balki moving in with Larry and doing the Dance of Joy? I actually have no idea, but for the sake of argument, let’s say no. This also doesn’t have a Dance of Joy. Besides, whenever the montages hit, all I can think about is the character’s bizarrely upturned noses anyway. Aaaand like the first episode, it’s really not clear what tone the show’s going for between the maudlin melodrama, half-hearted attempts at jokes, and all the blushing and general ovary quivering between Ribbonhead and Useless Lead.
