Really though, the main character shouldn’t count as fat.

Impressions:

Aaaaaaaaah. Now that’s much better. Sure, I still could not possibly care less about the technobabble of these powers and I still consider Shuu nothing more than a whiny sack of crap, but hey, how do you improve a show centered on a sack of crap? Remove him. Oh, I’m sure it won’t last all that long, particularly because now he’s back in school and going to have wacky school adventures like chasing the cat when it steals his iPod full of porn, but this episode only goes to show how much deadweight the main character is being on his own show. I think he didn’t even break 10 lines this week. Now if they just kill him next week, things will be much better.

But anyway, on to things that the episode did right that actually were in it, instead of things it avoided. Tits. Aaah. That’s better. Because that’s this show’s real strength; girls in form-fitting rubber, moaning and writhing, their breasts bouncing and heaving, or dancing around to operated computer controls with their butts… and their breasts bouncing and heaving. And then there’s the effeminate crazy guy also in a form hugging suit. I like him. I think he orgasmed when he shot that woman in the back of the head. That’s the kind of crazy and psychopathy that I can get behind, and it didn’t even take 15 minutes of flashback about him having a daddy that didn’t love him to get there! Oh, and some slick looking CG for once I guess. Maybe my standards are just slipping. Shuu’s action himself was a little better than last week, but still less choreographed and more "guy hits inanimate objects that appear to be not moving," but hey, they spent more frames on it than they needed to. That’s a plus.

Anyway, this episode was far better than the first, and while I’m not wild about "let’s all go to school together" angle… or really anything having to do with Shuu at all, from the forgotten childhood past to… well, let’s just leave at at anything, I at least feel good about continuing to make fun of Shuu and all of this show’s gasping, moaning women. Penguindrum meanwhile (I’m getting to it) continues to take two steps backwards for every step forwards, but I’ll get to that briefly.
