天下制覇

Can’t they just tuck the melodrama into the last two minutes in a morality lesson segment?

Impressions:

An okay episode, but the show’s really swinging around the drama here with all the grace and aplomb of a drunken Scot wielding a halibut. SENGOKU ERA COMIC SNOWBALL FIGHT… Nymph melodrama… SOHARA GOING BERSERK WITH PARODY INSERT SONG… Astraea melodrama… more melodrama… dog peeing on Astraea. It’s a humor assassin waiting around every corner, but it’s always the same three or four lines. Master, blah blah, mission, blah blah, sad. I also refuse to take any scene seriously where one side is literally a talking head sticking out of a big snowball and the other side has two similarly sized boulders jutting out into her chin.

I’m also feeling a little Sengoku’d out right now. Samurai Girls sort of escapes since it’s the more tertiary generals and has little to nothing to do with the actual Sengoku era, but this… After the last season of Basara, cries of Oyakata-sama just remind me of how big a sack of crap they reduced Yukimura too. They could have done a lot more than just dressing Tomoki up as Takeda Shingen. They could have at least done a full scale reenactment of Sekigahara. I mean, come on, the sexual harassment pun is right there. How can you not do that?

FYI, MM might be a little delayed tonight. I have things that need to be taken care of around that time.
