This show’s music, man…

Impressions:

Well, Hitoyoshi already annoys me almost every time he speaks or rather, gets distracted into long bouts of internal exposition, so it’s off to a spectacular start there. It’s also surprisingly cheap and poorly produced. The art’s solid at least, which is good because you get to see a lot of it just sitting there with all the stills, long pans, or my personal favorite, the random shot of a window. The music also sounds like they mugged one of Square’s composers and forced him to do the music here. There’s even music for the obligatory wacky city of mages. It could’ve worked if they were doing a better job of selling that angle of the show, but then we get back to the problem of all the stills. Swelling fantasy music playing for the grand adventure and… here’s students walking through the hallways.

Uh, I think I’ve run out of things to say already. A very by the books episode for a premise that I feel like I’ve already seen half a dozen times. Club Student council dedicated to helping people led by some ‘wacky’ female lead and her hapless sidekick who is secretly in love with her. The only particularly new thing (ignoring the chronology of what source predated what) that it adds to the mix is having the lead female strip because… why not. Otherwise, there’s not a whole lot notable here besides the overblown RPG music. And… that’s about all the impression that it left on me.
