天下制覇

Sigh. This show…

Impressions:

I think the main point of me watching this show these days is that it puts me in a more receptive mood for Rabbit. This episode was all over the bloody place. It was all so badly overacted that I thought it was meant to be just lame comedy, particularly when the guy in a cape and monacle showed up floating in the air above everybody. Except… apparently we were supposed to take him seriously for some reason. He’s a ‘real mage’, whatever the hell that means, with a runaway ‘daughter’/creation that attracts only ponces.

On the upside, at least Hugh and Dalian actually interacted with the plot this week for a few moments. The show seems to have yet to figure out that even episodic shows should be focused on the main characters. Still, Hugh did shoot his gun a couple times, so that’s a vast improvement over the last two weeks. That was completely pointless though, so it was up to the old cutaway to read a book while the enemy charges up a spell lasting over a minute and patiently waited until they turned the entire group of Viola’s suitors into glowing sentai to chase ‘daddy’ dearest off without actually doing anything but standing around her. Then she jumps into the arms of her true lover, a swarthy Spaniard. Like I said, the episode was all over the place.
