Total Express #20 — Script Brought to You Today by the RNG

November 25th, 2012

 

Wasn’t there supposed to be a tournament or something?

Impressions:

Now this is some truly Guilty Crown levels of hilariously terrible development, but hey! It’s development in some way. At least something’s finally happening. Occasionally in hilariously awful slow motion or with ridiculous censorship… or my favorite… a guy being DECAPITATED by a bullet, but happening nonetheless. Instead of the dick waving contest with the Americans, the end arc is apparently going to be about COEURL EXPRESS which is a front, attacking the base. Also, the bartender is evil. Except she’s shot in the backof the head by her own men ten minutes into the attack.

Also, how bad is the security on this base that a civvie delivery service is somehow able to sneak in an entire platoon? Did nobody notice the dozen delivery trucks? Or think that might be suspicious? I just assume there were only a dozen. There were five waiting to ambush Yuuya alone. At least all the soldiers were nice enough to stand around listening to her yap for a few minutes before killing her. So now we’re supposed to… want revenge? For someone that was shot in the head in the middle of an evil villain monologue? By COEURL EXPRESS.

Anyway, at least I laughed, and isn’t that what’s most important?

    So Coeurl Express, whom Aroduc loved so much, turned out to be evil? You must feel so betrayed…

    That is hilarious.

    Are these guys supposed to be French by the weapon they are using? That would probably add to the hilariousness level.

    I just love how the BETA are just taking a coffee break from all this.

    I was able to play off the random swimsuit episodes as fanservice to boost the sales, but were the light novels seriously just putting aside the large-scale alien invasion? That we were losing?

      they BETA are not conquerors, they are essentially von neumann miners sent out into the galaxy by their creators

      Y’know, just before this episode I said to myself “man, how cliched it would be if their supposed duel got interrupted by sudden BETA attack.”

      Looking back, cliched might not be so bad compared to this.

        Oh don’t worry. There’ll be a BETA attack interrupting THIS fight.

          Of course there will. When have evil aliens being kept in a lab NOT escaped and become the true enemy?

          And because of the suddenness, our heroes will be fighting with very limited ammo and use up twenty minutes lamenting this. Easy visual budget saving.

    Once again, humans prove that they’re worse than any alien invasion…

    Did they shoot the driver with an anti-tank rifle?

    So the refugee front want to liberate the oppressed humans from greedy big bigwigs, corruption and globalization……

    and the beta??? how do they plan on saving the oppressed from the beta? blow up the mean to save them? Bloody fanatics and their logic.

    The RNG is only mentioned in this episode’s opening scene, and yet they become the main plot already. ROFL.

    The only good part was seeing ppl actually die, the rest was boring as hell, the first episodes of this were damn good, rest idk what the fuck we are watching, are not those aliens taking over the world?
