天下制覇

This show should always be this bad.

Impressions:

Surprisingly not a bad episode. I did get to watch it while chatting with Kuro though, and the social experience can make things a lot better. I still wouldn’t call it good exactly, but it was entertaining at least and barely inspired any bile this week. That already puts it ahead of almost all the other episodes. Kirino was bumped out this week except for a few shots of her hugging a hug pillow and adjusting her panties after taking a dump. Thanks, AIC. We needed to see that. Maybe next week you can show Kirino throwing away a tampon.

Instead, we got Manami, who is still boring as sin. Her grandparents however, spent the entire episode doing bad schtick, lurking under tables, and trying to get Kyousuke to bang her. While watching weird Japanese standup is not quite as amusing as one would imagine, it was humorous when Kyousuke somehow developed a sense of humor for about 90 seconds and ran with one of the jokes instead of giving himself an aneurysm. It was also a thankful change of pace. Finally all the overacting was done on purpose and a gag instead of godawful hackneyed attempts at drama. The start and end were still boring, lame, and went absolutely nowhere… slowly, but at least we weren’t treated to any long drifting shots of people’s e-mail accounts this week. Maybe the show’s finally on the upswing.

Ha.
