Because, you know, when in doubt, add clowns.

Impressions:

Let me see if I understand this master plan of Shuu’s. He has a special secret power, and needs to covertly use it to go find a magical widget. So to test out to see if he can do it, he tries to ambush a girl he knows because he knows that she’ll let him off if he screws up. He lurks in wait for her, then in his ‘secret’ attack, he leaps out, grabs the wrong girl, grabs her breast, and looks around and there are about thirty people watching them. So then he changes his tactics and decides to run at people in a headlong charge while screaming his bloody head off. And the worst part? It apparently works.

…And then he pulls a refrigerator out of one of them.

And then his friend who he came to an understanding with in apparently some kind of offscreen meaningful talk immediately betrays him. And let me tell you how surprised I was that the only character that had more than two lines was the one they were looking for. I had to go lay down for a little while, my heart was so stunned.

Oh yeah, and the new villain is a clown. A clown that hangs people upside down. Not that I have anything wrong with clowns, mind you. It’s actually almost refreshing to see some antagonists that are unlikely to have tragic backstories and are just evil. Where the hell are the Imperial Stormtroopers or Smaug or generic-terrorist-that-will-inevitably-be-nutpunched-by-Jack-Bauer in anime anyway? Nothing’s wrong with a little evil for evil’s sake. Well, at least if your main character isn’t suck. Again, I’m still hoping that one of these lunatics knifes Shuu in the penis. If they can even find it.

Well then, I see we have a new frontrunner for the best comedy of the season. One can only hope it lives up to the same high standards Producton IG set with Blood-C. Maybe this wll have rabbit clowns as the final boss. Wouldn’t that be a treat? But hey, at least it wasn’t a flashback episode with yet another new character tossed in out of nowhere.
