They’re really forcing those eyesight jokes these days…

Impressions:

Another fairly uninspired episode that lacked energy or any kind of comedic timing. Let’s just punt on this school thing and go back to sentai parodies. I feel like the Valentine’s Day/White Day segments deserve special mention for being truly awful. The episode was merely average before those two disasters hit and dragged the whole thing to pot. The former provided the setup for gag and then that was it. The joke was that exactly what Mitsuba had just imagined happened to her. Even Wile E. Coyote’s plans go wrong with more twists than that. I can only assume that it saved them money having only to write the scene once and then swap character models, but then again, I can’t imagine the writers even bother to show up most days. The White Day segment was similarly awful in that they flat out told you exactly what was going to happen and then spent the next few minutes going through the motions before trying to wring melodrama out of it. Seriously? You’re going to cue the dramatic music and tears, sparkly backgrounds, and tears for that? I couldn’t even chuckle at Sugisaki trying to lick the crumbs off of Matsuoka’s face because my eyes were rolled too far back.

The first segment was Satou’s stalkers hatching a new plan, but one of them is starting to turn on the others. Then Sugisaki’s mother going on an expedition into the classroom. After that was Mitsuba trying to one-up Sugisaki through insulting/withholding Valentine’s Day chocolates. Sugisaki makes a new friend in the next when all her friends abandon her to go make cookies in secret for White Day. Physical checkup for the girls next along with the guys realizing that life isn’t so rosy, and the last segment was barely 30 seconds long and consisted of nothing more than Hitoha accidentally insulting whose-her-face.

What ever happened to Hitoha’s book? Or the hamster?
