Fujiko’s clothing confuses and scares me.

Impressions:

While the steady IV drip of vodka going into the arms of the writers hasn’t seemed to run out yet, the artists apparently came down off of whatever psychotropic they were freebasing last week. Unfortunately, the writer was just excessively inane this week instead of amusing in any way. Even discounting Fujiko’s magically regenerating clothing, this episode was just all over the place. Focus, direction, pacing, everything. Hell, I was even hoping that people would start getting a little suspicious about Kena finally, but no. Sai remains ever the imbecile.

Remember that we ended last week with Korone telling Hattori to marry Sai. So it makes perfect sense that this episode would be mostly Sai wondering about Kena before they fight a giant clothes-eating two headed chicken and Hiroshi saves Magical Girl Lois Lane. Fujiko was also raped by a snail in the middle of fantasizing about having sex with Sai. Or Greco-Roman wrestling. I would expect her sexual fantasies to involve more Jell-o. And severed heads. Seriously though, where the hell did this romantic subplot with Hiroshi come from? Wasn’t it a widely believed fact that he’s fruitier than Carmen Miranda’s headpiece? Well, Magical ‘Girl’ Lois Lane hasn’t been definitively proven to be female yet. Given Japan’s weird fetishism these days, it’s still a possibility.
