天下制覇

Those may just be some of the worst screencaps I’ve ever taken.

Impressions:

Nowhere near as good as last week’s, but that’s not really a surprise. This episode was also a little more manic-depressive than usual. Sure, it’s a lot of fun when it’s manic, then someone gets a face-full of sea cucumber splooge, people get yelled at, and the next 12 minutes are boring exposition that can basically be summed up as "There’s a legend about legendary things" and "Black magic is bad." I’ve gotten to the point where I barely even register these expositional dumps after the first sentence or two in any medium. Right, got it, go into dungeon, fight legend, win a harem full of lesbians have a tentacle orgy beneath my throne. See you after I gain five levels and buy new chain mail.

The first quarter was all Korone, using every trick in the book to try to seduce Sai. They’re really making the most out of Aoi Yuuki here and she is handling it very well, unlike a certain VA that annoyed the living piss out of me yesterday. Then Kena covered Hattori in sticky white goo and we got a brief, but very adorable, little bit where Sai cleans sticky goop off of her and out of her hair. Just think of it as practice for later when Sai’s testacles finally descend. The aforementioned expositional diarreah then commenced, only broken up by Fujiko’s delusions of having orgies five meters away from her and ‘drunk’ Kena showing up and the cliffhanger of Korone being shot. I believe neither of those for a moment. This is all probably just one of Korone’s master plans to get Sai attached to her. And I bet Kena drinks like a Russian bear too.
