Boo. Down with the outsiders.

Impressions:

I said it before and I’ll say it again, I really don’t like Awararara’s group at all. They’re not educational, they’re not entertaining, and they take away precious time that could be spent watching Tomokane eat paste. They had a few moments, like beheading each other in front of Noda, but the two guys are totally interchangeable, and even on their most ADHD day, Noda and Tomokane are artistic maestros compared to those bozos. Speaking of Tomokane, I realized this week that I have absolutely no idea what her given name is because they introduced her brother, who joined the others. Unfortunately, he’s nowhere near as entertaining as she is. Tomokane♂ does at least have some artistic abilities, unlike the rest of his squadron, but aside from that, he’s just a stereotypical sickly guy. Meh.

As you might infer from the above, this episode was definitely not one of my favorites. The others found an old supply of haunted house stuff that their predecessors left behind and staged an impromptu haunted house to terrorize random people, who ended up being Usami (who is very terroizable) and then she sent in th GA crowd. Everybody acted pretty predictibly. Namiko got to lecture on sponges briefly (the one educational moment of the episode), Tomokane broke a lot of stuff, and Kisaragi cowered in fear. Masa was the ghostbuster of the group and pulled them out of hiding by scraping her fingernails across the chalkboard. Good work, Prof. If only she had done that fifteen minutes prior, maybe the episode could have focused on their group instead.
