When the Seagulls Cry #12 — Talking to Yourself
September 16th, 2009
New arc, new crazies.
Impressions:
Well, for the first episode of a new… er… episode, this wasn’t too bad, but it dragged like hell in the second half. Like the early episodes in the other two arcs, this one didn’t really do much except reintroduce the characters and give us slightly more background on a couple of them. This time, the focus was on Beatrice’s past so, we got our first peak into the previous endless witch, Virgilia, and crazy crazy Eva, who is going to be the centerpiece of this particular iteration. Beatrice’s butler, Ronove, also showed up to give the witches some eyecandy for when they get tired of being stuck with Battler over the next thousand years.
As for the rest… meh. I have little to comment on except to note that I’m pretty sure most of the females on the cast are slowly inflating. Kyrie seemed to grow another cup size every time they cut back to her during the rather dull argument at the end of the episode, and teenage Eva looked like the left side of her body stopped going through puberty about a year after the right side. Deen also particularly loved to highlight Jessica’s thighs every single time she was on the screen this episode. The crotch-cam shot was particularly… er… present. At least we didn’t get a Basic Instinct moment.

Why are Virgilia’s eyes open? She supposed to have them closed all the time, except when she’s being really scary.
