Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere #08 — Penis Check
November 19th, 2011
You know, Toori, there could theoretically be a penis inside the panties.
Sorry for how late this is. Long story short, building switching ISPs, owner clueless and didn’t think to test the new router’s wireless range, so nobody on the second floor was getting a signal, yada yada, now nobody has internet access. I had to make this post by uploading things one bit at a time using a tincan attached to a string to a neighboring house. I am nothing if not resourceful.
Impressions:
Well, it’s kind of what I feared for this bit as they did feel the need to actually go through the debate… kind of. It got sidetracked fairly quickly into just quibbling and shuffling around without actually really going anywhere for the entire first half. They got so much mileage out of that one shot of the pope’s head on the tv screen that it has to go in for an oil change. The debate could have potentially been interesting if there was any actual debating done. Toori had Masazumi in a trap by forcing her to argue her side, but if she tried to win by an argument that she knows is flawed, that would at least have been… well, something other than so obviously stalling for time for most of the episode.
I guess there’s the ‘big reveal’ that the slender, longhaired ‘boy’ with childbearing hips is… NOT A BOY. Sort of. She wears panties and has a socket instead of a plug at any rate. Which Toori felt the need to check in front of the pope. I’m pretty sure that entire segment was just to have the man antagonize the good guys to remove any last vestiges of greyness for the Evil Empiretm. I’m far more interested in seeing Kimi finally throw down her clothes next week against Futayo.

The body/clothing/hair physics here bother me more than any of the plot or writing. Which is actually pretty rare, you have to hand them that.
