天下制覇

Everywhere!

Impressions:

Mostly a fairly decent episode with copious amounts of Junko blushing and fidgeting, but as usual, the writers hit the barrel of moonshine at some point and then popped off to the pub to let the chimps finish the script. There were still some decent parts in the second half, like Kena’s poignant little birthday celebration by herself in the dark (Sai, you ass), and Sai regrowing his arm because he’s too lazy to try to dodge an attack, but the more alcohol you have in you going into the second half of this episode, the better, particularly when Fujiko shows up in the middle of the dramatic cliffhanger with an army of monsters paid in her panties. I can barely even remember when she wasn’t a total joke.

There was a whole bunch of plot dump, but very little of it was anything past "Generic RPG Cliches 101." Somebody’s evil, must die. Protect the wimminfolk, etc etc. I did find it amusing that they drew up three different antagonists and then killed them all moments later, but couldn’t spare the same kind of detail for the army of ninjas. Eiko was also not her usual amusing self this week and instead decided to just be a pissy little whiny brat over Hattori. Having Hiroshi’s woman probably-a-woman turn out to be Junko’s sister and a bored cosplaying ninja infected with evil goo was also… well… a symptom of the the many writing problems with this show mad chimp fever.
