K #08 — CG Helicopters

November 22nd, 2012

 

Most ‘animated’ thing in this episode.

Impressions:

I’ve made no great secret of my distaste for pretty much any part of this show that’s not either action or involving Kitty’s antics, so I can probably just leave it at "this is another episode where the Shinsengumi stand around in circles and talk for about 19 minutes." Exciting. I’m not even sure why they went through all the trouble of showing them tracing the call, then slowly tracking it down on the roads, only to show that it was the ol’ forwarded call trick. What exactly was the point of that in a show where everyone has massively magical powers? Oh right. Probably to try to make taking a phone call more interesting and chew up an extra minute or two.

The ending especially of this episode seems like it should’ve been directly connected to the end of last week’s episode, not with 20 minutes of random nonsense in the middle. Weiss going mad bomber on his blimp/airship might have had at least some impact if it came right on the heels of Shirou’s stuff. Even if it had just come halfway through the episode that would’ve been a lot better. Not as a cliffhanger after putzing around for the entire episode up to that point though.

    and… the villain self-destructs?

    what kind of plan is that?

    Most unwatchable visuals of the season.
