天下制覇

Objects with that much inertia usually end up in orbit.

Impressions:

This is both a step in the right direction and a step in the wrong direction. It was a really fun episode regardless, but we’ll begin with the poor. The zombies were essentially not animated this week. I particularly ‘enjoyed’ the three stills that they faded in and out to simulate movement. It was like a zombie fog rolling across the streets. I also liked the father’s magical shrinking and expanding bloodstain that looked like it was done using the spraycan tool in MSPaint. The T&A also somehow managed to threaten last week’s levels and was beyond ridiculous. We’re talking almost Eiken levels of out of control boob physics here. Those things almost hit geosynchronous orbit at times. The writing also remains more or less insultingly bad. "If I walk at zombie eye level, I’m safe! Just so long as none of them extend their arms slightly upwards." Plus, how exactly did that gate get closed and locked after Boy Wonder crashed his bike on zombie panties anyway? Plus, why the hell did he need to save the girl and the dog? Is he going to eat it? Either one?

The good side is that a lot of the ridiculous aspects came together for once. They spit out not only an insert song for the initial assault, but extended the ED as a second insert song of sorts for the escape. Hirano also apparently has a magical shotgun that sends zombies blasting off into space. Like I said, it’s obvious where the budget came from for these scenes, but at least it was well spent. Plus, sometimes the T&A was so wrong and poorly placed that it was hilarious. I defintely chucked at dramatic ass. The pacing was also decent for the most part this week too. The little girl is trivial in the scheme of things, but as far as just this episode went, it didn’t feel dragged out. At least outside of the 80 seconds of cheesecake shots and recycled footage they used to begin the episode.

Why exactly didn’t they get dressed before leaving?
