The Demon King in the Back Row #11 — Night of a Million Ninjas
June 11th, 2010
And one masochistic man made of rubber.
Impressions:
Kind of a strange episode. One from the end, and it really didn’t go anywhere important and was mainly focused on the student council beating thing up. I’m okay with hitting things mind you, but it was nowhere near the levels of the Mister X episode and you can only take characters hitting nameless, faceless grunts for so long. Production was pretty even for awhile, although it got clear that the budget or time was running out towards the end, particularly with the huge building for… Junko to stand there in her big scene. Hopefully they’re just saving up for the big Kena rescue operation next week.
Other than that, there was about three minutes of Hiroshi switching sides and Pretty Boy showing off that he has admin access to Kena’s former brain as a blonde… and Hiroshi’s watch for that matter.How conveniet. The only other thing of note was literally tucked away at the very end. Junko started yelling about betraying for love, drew her sword, and then instead of anything interesting, a giant shining letter appeared and everybody fell over. Way to absolutely kill that moment. Eiko also deserves better than being deus ex cyborged like that.

Holy hell, talk about exposition vomit and rather terrible animation quality. This is one show that truly suffered from animation degradation, anyway most of the characters acted like schizophrenic morons and the story was rather retarded, as it seems that Boichirou is just an idiot who can’t beat the gods, and their is some wierd shit going on in Keena/blondie’s brain.
