Cotton candy will rot your teeth though.

I’m in class all day tomorrow and then immediately on a plane cross country back home, so don’t count on me covering… whatever it is that I was thinking about watching on Tuesdays in a reasonable time frame, or Wednesday either really since that’s my first real day of work, however long that will end up being after 8 hours in planes/airports and not getting in until midnight.

Impressions:

Budget gone already, Lerche? Can’t even handle CGI metal balls right? I also can’t help thinking that almost every part of it would work better if they were, well… actually having sex, and that’s not just the translator of pornographic games part of me speaking. It could be taken in the direction of an unhealthy attachment to his no-doubt sister-surrogate, give either one of them something to really complain about, either in terms of being wrung dry or him being a womanizer, or well… anything besides the big fat joke of nothing that it is. Or at the very least, don’t turn it into damn slapstick. Just bloody fade the intimate shower scene to black five seconds earlier so you don’t piss all over the moment.

A rather dull setup episode at any rate, which is kind of weird coming after an actual introduction episode. Most of the amusement came from listening to them try to pronounce "cannibal candy" in English and sounding far closer to "carnival candy." Yada yada. There’s a thing doing something people would rather it not be doing, but first, go have a date but not a real date, okay! with the only female your age with a vagina made of flesh to pump one another for information. Also, someone should have probably alerted the director that the director would be having a spastic ED if he’s going to be ending every episode on a dramatic cliffhanger with overblown stinger. You’re undercutting yourself here, buddy.
