"She can’t hurt me now, I closed the curtains!"

Impressions:

This felt like a very very awkward episode to me. A lot of the time was spent bringing Stupidhead and Kaname up to speed with what has been obvious to the audience for weeks upon weeks, so it wasn’t particularly interesting except to fill in some rather triflin details. Yes yes, they’re monsters, and the black ops hate love, got it. In another four episode, maybe Stupidhead will learn that the oranges are important. The plot is sill actually moving again though, finally, so at least it’s not stuck in an eddy again. Stupidhead still makes an absolutely worthless lead. This episode made it painfully obvious that he never actually does anything. He just wanders from point to point to listen to other people talk to him. Perhaps he’s a refugee from a bad RPG. Hell, he sees a girl who hates him… and who he knows chases and tries to kill people… standing outside his window at night, staring at him. His response? Close the curtains. Yes. Curtains. They keep suspected psychopaths out.

In any case, Kaname’s getting a little too close to the truth (apparently the black ops never considered that people would try to look up the most famous legend of their city in a library) so she gets tossed in a cell next to Pedoboy’s girlfriend. That was also amusing for all the wrong reasons. There’s a wood door separating them. I know that they’re anime women and all, so they’re weak and totally helpless, but come on. It’s a wood door. Shouldn’t you at least try to knock it down and see whether or not there’s a way to escape on the other side? I know you totally trust each other since you met all of 15 seconds ago and all, but come on here. Next episode’s fight already looks pretty slick though, so there’s that at least.
