天下制覇

Stay classy, AIC.

Impressions:

I make it through this show by remembering that the alternative was Arakawa. Every time the bile starts to rise in my gullet, I think "Arakawa" and a soothing wave of relief passes over me that lasts for about 3 minutes. This was about a five "Arakawa’er."

Anyway, the first half actually managed to cross that line where it went from just plainly bad to bad enough that it really gets the creative juices flowing. The fact that they started with tentacle fighter Siscalypse and then immediately went for a pan up of Kirino’s crotch set the tone for the entire segment. I particularly liked Kyousuke and Ayase’s interactions. He drools and leers at her when she walks in, then busts into his sister’s room, steals her package, and proceeds to grope her. He must have had a good reason for it, right! Give me your e-mail address! DO ME HERE IN THE YARD! RIGHT NOW! MAKE EVERYBODY WATCH! The only thing that scene was missing was a closeup of her uterus gurgling in anticipation.

The rest of that segment… well, if you though the phone conversation was bad, prepare for… CHAT ROOM CONVERSATION. And seeing that intro clip of Siscalypse about fourteen more times. I think AIC just sent all their animators over to Forte this season. The Comiket half was just plain awful. They spent almost as much time standing in line and talking about standing in line as they did anything else. And jokes? Pfft. Why have jokes? We’re at Comiket. It’s funny because… they’re girls? I’m not even sure.
