High School of the Angsty #11 — Rapesense Tingling
September 13th, 2010
Well, this was a giant waste of time.
Impressions:
I like how last episode was about them all whining that adults don’t take them seriously, and next week’s big finale is "THE WORLD IS BEING NUKED." Look, Madhouse, these kids barely managed to save a dog, and they didn’t even manage that without a full arsenal of firearms and multiple combat vehicles. Now you’re nuking them. I THINK THAT YOU’VE SKIPPED A FEW STEPS IN ESCALATION OF SCALE HERE. Meanwhile, still no zombies, and only one quick shot of zombies in the preview for the final episode next week. How’s that undead apocalypse coming again? Oh yeah, it’s not. And now you’re being nuked. At leat there’s a semi-decent chance of everybody dying. That’d be a true victory.
I guess the ‘highlight’ of the episode would be ol’ whose-his-face showing up again, which immediately sets off Rei’s ESP powers so she chases him off. That sure meant… abso-bloody-lutely nothing. What a wonderful use of the penultimate episode of the show. "Nothing happens." Couldn’t he have just crashed his bus through their defenses or tried to take over? I assume that he’s going to anyway, and he already grins and cackles like a madman even with a bayonet in his cheek, so it’s not like they need to establish his sanity. The actual highlight, if any, of the episode was probably just the bad cheesecake shot of the cast dressed up as RPG archetypes. Yes, that is how far standards for this show have fallen.
Preview:
Oh hey, a zombie. Where’d that come from?

Next episode: It seems that zombies swarm the mansion and most likely only the main chars survive, to be honest I think everyone will die at one point or another, it’s impossible to save this world without pressing a magical reset button.
