天下制覇

I remember this show.

Impressions:

Oh hey, an ‘action’ episode that is filled with flashbacks, people explaining their powers, preaching, and every single character is on the rag. It’s like I’m watching the worst parts of Index once again, only this time, instead of Touma punching somebody to prove his point, Mikoto hugs them and drags us into a 9 minute flashback. CALL ME UNDERWHELMED. What’s wrong with wanting ultimate power? I’ll take a 20 second "I’m crazy as a march hare" monologue over blowing half the episode doling out some generic motivation to be eeeeevil.

Blah blah blah, Kiriyama was made to experiment on little kids by giant jerks and that makes her sad, so this whole thing was to figure out what the hell happened. Oops. I just ruined 50% of the episode for you. Enjoy the remaining 4 minutes of exposition about how many abilities people peoples have, three minutes of Mikoto preaching or talking about her powers, three minutes of deus ex software, and one minute of actual action, most of which consisted of them throwing CG at each other… and 15 seconds of evil super-network fetus.

I can’t wait for them to try to talk to it for another 10 minutes next week.

Preview:

I bet they already showed all of next week’s action in the preview.
