天下制覇

The more they stay the same.

Impressions:

Well, it seems like a direct continuation of the previous one, despite the total switch in the staff, so I’m not really certain that there’s a lot to say. It did seem like the animation took a little bit of a hit, but that could have just been the excessive refusal to show people talking in favor of random shots of scenery for the first five minutes. The mouth weirdness is also mostly gone. Aaaaaand of course… the fanservice was way up for the hot springs episode. I will say that Haruka was… uh… overly buoyant. When she sinks under the water and her chest doesn’t move… there’s something unnatural and disquieting about that. Maybe they’re just balloons loosely tied to her and she orbits around them. I also find the new OP very strange.

Anyway, Totali has this one well in hand. I’ll stick to Kuroha Rental Magica for Sundays.
