天下制覇

That has to be the worst idea for an attack to date.

I’ll get to Lupin when I get to it. It’s over 90 minutes long and features a cutesy kid sidekick. I can feel the bile rising already.

Impressions:

Yawn. Both the show and I are going through the motions here, praying for the end to simply come. This was another exceedingly and surprisingly uneventful episode. Shana got her sword back, Becky and golemboy broke the barrier. That should have taken about five minutes or even less since they really didn’t bother to show almost any of Becky and Golem vs Lionhead besides him using a magic spring to bounce them into the air, but then they padded it out with about eight minutes of Fecor staring at his little mirror and another couple minutes of the Flame Hazes providing exposition as well as flashback to the start of the little invasion mission and hey, there’s twenty minutes for you. Fanbloodytastic.

It was kind of funny to watch Shana repeatedly stab the rinne until its head broke, but mostly for the tink noise it made. Also that in a room full of swords after staring meaningfully at them, all she did was palm a tiny, flimsy dagger. Her struggle to move also made me chuckle, both because she didn’t look particularly badly hurt and that she was up and running again 20 seconds later after a fit of stabbing. If you’re going to draw something out that much, don’t make it look like you immediately forgot about it in the very next scene.

Maybe someone will actually fight something next week, but I don’t think I’ll hold my breath.
