天下制覇

And now I have AC/DC stuck in my head.

Impressions:

As usual, it helps that expectations for this show are minimal, but this was still a fairly weak episode. They’re having a ball and the guys are being forced to dress up as random crap. Why anybody would need someone in the costume of a lion statue is beyond me, but I think the little boys in drag got off easier than Hino. If given a choice between drag and a diaper, I’ll go with the comfort of a padded bra every time. Of course, Daiichi’s actually a girl, so she spent most of the episode moping around about it, only for all the majority of the attention to end up on the actual male in drag (or so we think). In the end, since Hino is the thickest man alive, he doesn’t even notice that Daiichi’s a girl when he walks in on her in the shower.

Although, I will give him a little wiggle room. Maybe he’s just so straight that his eyes wouldn’t even think to drift downwards at all. I can’t blame him for not wanting to look at Daiichi’s junk under the assumption that she’s a guy. That’s a no-win proposition right there, and you can’t just go running around in the locker room doing ball checks on the off chance that a woman’s snuck in. Then again, Japanese media has led me to believe that at least a solid 10%% of its men are actually women… which would actually go a long way to explaining its declining birth rates. That said, the whole ‘rape’ scene was just painful and could not end soon enough. The ball itself was also disappointingly brief. People showed up, and then it was over. And that was it. At least it had a crotch beam. Easily the highlight of the episode.
