What’s bizarre is that the headknife didn’t seem to be a joke as far as the show was concerned.

Impressions:

Ah. This is apparently where all the imbeciles for Tuesday have gathered. It was quite a yank on the choke chain going from Black Bullet to a show where characters can’t help but explain (to nobody) that the city they’re looking out over is in fact, a city, or after arriving at the school they already said they were going to, that this is indeed, that school. I was confused too because Yale also has a giant masturbating sun, but it was far too clean to be New Haven, so I guess it’s a good thing they cleared that up.

The show’s trying to do a lot and it’s hard to tell what the focus is supposed to be. The animation’s better than average, although I’m not sure why. The action’s not good enough to be worth watching it for that. There’s not really any humor to speak of, so that’s not the draw either. That only really leaves “lesbians go to school,” a premise only seen about five hundred and sixty eight times before without even the benefit of giving them personalities or trying to make it funny, salacious, anything. Just “they’re friends.” One’s gimmick, as stated about sixteen times, is that she’s plain. Not… that red character from some show I forget plain, just plain. Another’s is that she’s stupider than the one who already spent the first half of the show pointing at things and announcing what they were. Was it budget day at the personality shack or something? And if you weren’t afraid it was devoid enough of thought, the promo for next week has them becoming waitresses.

That also begs the question as to why it’s associated with Soul Eater’s world at all, let alone why it has all the cameos jammed in there and feels the need to explain everything. If it’s just for cockteasing the existing fans, why is it re-explaining everything? Or explaining it at all for that matter? If the only answer is “to keep the brand alive” as it seems to be, that doesn’t bode well because it’s about all this episode had going for it. “Pseudo-lesbians do nothing” does explain the masturbating sun though.
