It should really be a crime to be this stupid.

Impressions:

I’m starting to think that I’m watching this show just to fuel my darker emotions. It takes itself too seriously to be funny, but the writing is so so so bad. The entire first half was just a parade of godawful stupidity that was made only worse by revelations in the second half. For starters, Kazuya was mugged by some street magician without even realizing it. Then he runs off to Victorique with the "Case of the Missing Plate" which she somehow deduces was the nun pulling a con by sitting on a box of birds, then sliding the plate into said box while everybody was distracted. I… what. That… no. Just… no. At the same time, because she’s wearing the turban, Grevil mistakes her for a woman named Cordelia which is revealed later to be her mother. Seriously, Grevil? She put a hat on and you suddenly think that she’s a 30 year old gypsie? Seriously?

I’d commend Kazuya for actually growing some testicles and teasing Victorique this week if he wasn’t being such a giant jackass about it. He accidentally trips and hurts her, so what does he do? Not apologize. Never that. He flicks her in the forehead instead. Then keeps teasing her. Of course, he apparently sleeps in bed fully clothed, including his boots, so I can only wait with bated breath for the episode where he follows a herd of lemmings into the ocean. Oh right, the plot. This arc is apparently them investigating some gypsie wolf/hound legend because it’s connected to Vicky’s gypsie mother. The cliffhanger for this episode was shown in the preview for last week. …And that’s all I want to say about that.
