天下制覇

Weren’t we on the beach two weeks ago?

Impressions:

Isn’t this the third Christmas for this show? Shouldn’t Haruka have graduated by now? Where the hell is the legend of the gangboss these days? Who the hell was that character that had a crush on Hosaka and hasn’t been seen or mentioned since? Why doesn’t Hayami screw with anybody’s heads these days? What is the mystery of the corned beef can?

All these burning questions will not be answered in this episode because we’re going to be having another rather Touma-centric episode… and another one next week as well. I am so bloody sick of Touma and her brothers. They are seriously the Mako-chan’s of this season. YOU HAVE OTHER CHARACTERS, LET’S USE THEM.

*ahem*

I wasn’t a fan of the episode, and as the astute might infer from the above, the way this show has been going lately is starting to grate on me. A fair bit of my displeasure this week has to do with the absolutely hideous music through the first couple parts. After listening to the first bar of Silent Night as BGM for nearly two straight minutes, the mind begins to vomit itself sick, but is too dazed to escape the waste that it has just created. Part 4 was really the only one that I enjoyed, and surprise surprise, it was focused on Hosaka making out with a cake instead of "Touma’s a girl and that’s so silly." Who knew that using a joke that doesn’t suck would be funny?

At least Uchida is already practicing her "I’m a helpless bimbo" pose. Grab male’s (?) sleeve, chest out, butt back, and beg for it.

Brief Summary:

• Chiaki and Touma get into an argument. Kana gets possessive over her oranges. I die a little inside.
• Chiaki makes a huge stocking for Santa, Fujioka gives the sisters mittens. I die slightly more.
• Haruka bullies Natsuki into buying Touma a Christmas present.
• Hosaka becomes a cake seller and makes out with his wares.

Oh good. More Touma.
