Freezing #08 — The Slutty Episode

February 25th, 2011

 

At least they didn’t go to the beach. Yet.

Impressions:

As expected, this was a pretty moronic throwaway episode. Even the eyecatch sucked. They didn’t even try to keep people in character, even resorting to using Bridg’s "I won’t lose in any fight" as a gag when Drillhair challenged her to a popularity contest. De Arimasu is at least staying relatively fun, backing down as soon as Kazuya told her he was going to the dance with Bridg but still getting off the first shot. Heck, she even settled for dancing with Ol’ Useless Exposition Machine who also didn’t have a date. On that note, you can tell how invested I am in these characters by how well I remember their names.

Of course, this show being what it is, the beauty contest entailed all the girls dressing as sluttily as possible and Bridg winning on the power of the plot device. The previous winner’s sole contribution to the show was swimming around naked at the start after posing in a dress that didn’t contain her nipples so much as accentuate them. After losing, Drillhead talked some girls into making Bridg wear her ceremonial gown that went transparent in the light, Kazuya used his power to freeze the entire school and they ran off together. So… yeah, the less said about this one, the better.

Preview:

Don’t we have enough characters yet?

    Between this and gosick, I feel the urge to read something with a deeply-written quality plot, like kanokon or something.

    …I’m not really sure how much damage these series have caused to my sense of scale lately.

  • Dynellen says:

    As far as I know this episode is total and complete filler, previous episode happened around chapter 20ish of the manwha, currently the series is scanlated up to chapter 39 and there’s nothing like this in the scanlated material so far.

    So no need to worry about this particular episode’s peculiarity.

  • DmonHiro says:

    OK, seriously… what the hell is with those outfits? WHO WOULD WEAR THAT?

  • alex says:

    sounds like fun

  • Harbin says:

    they went through the manga too fast, so now we’re stuck with filler eps

  • jingoi says:

    what plot? isn’t kanokon about some 350 yr old girl constantly trying to rape a shota and being a annoying bitch towards anyone who has a penis and tries to get shota away from her.

  • john says:

    I swear anime is getting worse and worse really people this shit is awful this season is awful Beelzebub,IS,Merry,dragon crisis etc all of these shows are complete shit only show that i find any good is Zombie otherwise another terrible anime season all the animes are now are manga adaptions that destroy the manga’s cuz they suck but will say beelzebub is the worst of them all but freezing is a very close 2nd.

    • alex says:

      “Beelzebub,IS,Merry,dragon crisis” GOSICK and Rio forgotten :)
      “any good is Zombie” wat ? O.o that’s a joke, right ?

    • thatredsky says:

      I hope you’re just trolling with that comment.

      You have to be kidding me, dude.

  • words says:

    words cannot describe how awful this episode was. the manhua actually seems to have a decent plot, and this episode had nothing to do with it.

  • alex says:

    still one of the best filler episodes in anime

  • thatredsky says:

    It’s not even a beauty contest, it’s more of like, some public sex display or something.
