天下制覇

I think I’ll ramble on about unrelated matters instead.

First off, tonight’s Heroes was pretty damn awesome. Not that this season has been terrible, but it’s been pretty underwhelming for the most part. Entertaining enough, but not that great. Better than the second by far, but still didn’t really have the mojo of the first. Sylar and that birthday cake though… absolutely priceless. Just… priceless.

Second, I do not give a crap about this stupid Touhou anime. It’s not the first, hiring VAs for doujin stuff isn’t anything new or special, the animation isn’t even close to the Aquastyle stuff, and there’s a reason that music remix groups remix music and not make anime.

Third, Last Remnant is a really fun game. Don’t let those crazies put you off about load times or frame rate or stuff. It’s been silky smooth for me. I don’t even have time to read the useful little load screen tips, which would be useful since the documentation is lacking. Of course, I installed it to the hard drive, but it’s everything that I wished Final Fantasy XII had been. Also, Baulson is totally the Last Remnant.

Sorry, anything to avoid talking about this horrific… ugh…

Impressions:

Let me get this straight. After all this rape and martyr and little sister business… Yuko was killed in a hit and run by a random stranger? What the hell was the point of this arc? What the hell was the point of any of this? What the hell? Most of the episode was about Yuko and Yuu getting on with their lives and planning Christmas. Oh hey, a happy ending… good for them, and they even meet and befriend this strange little girl named Mizuki who then gets a ribbon from wandering pedophile minstrel Kuze. 

And then Yuko gets hit by a car and dies.

Yes.

That’s the story for Yuko’s arc.

Life sucks, and then you get run over.

It’s deep because everything was in black and white and there was no OP.

Don’t you see?

Deep.

I’ll admit, Yuko’s death scene was pretty nicely done and touching if you completely forget that there were some 9 odd completely unrelated episodes leading up to it and there was absolutely no meaning whatsoever. Oopsies! So much for a coherent narrative! I think playing the OP as Yuu found her was a bit much, as was the overly dramatic "carry her off into the sunset for 90 seconds while the credits roll," but hey… I was alternatively feeling bad about it and laughing at the sheer ridiculousness.

Who am I kidding? I’ll see you next week to mock the revelation that Mizuki is Mizuki and she’ll return her ribbon to Kohaku Kuze and then go kill a Dead Apostle.

Hey. I’m allowed to hope.
