天下制覇

Why do I feel like this would be better if everybody was dressed like glam rockers?

Impressions:

This was the epitome of plodding, tedious, and painfully boring, so the show’s wearing thin on my last nerve here which tends to make me terse and grumpy. The first episode was amusing enough because of how over the top it was, but since then, everything has just ground to a complete halt in favor of long shots of Yuki and Zess standing around looking sad. Literally nothing happens this episode except Zess warning Yuki not to go out at night… so the first thing Yuki does is run out… and then remember that he was warned not to. And that’s the cliffhanger.

I’ll give next week’s big showdown (at least I’d hope) against the other sad boy on a rooftop a quick looksie to see if they can somehow turn giant swords, lightning vampires, and toilet bishies into something marginally interesting (you’d think it’d be easy), but this is failing to move in any sort of interesting direction at all, either good or bad. You may as well just GIS "anime pretty boys" and then stare at the first page for twenty minutes. Wait… hold on… no. That brings up Minami-ke’s Hosaka… which means it would have probably been a better twenty minutes.
