I don’t like this game. Nobody ever wins.

Impressions:

"So Shana’s finally going off to confront Yuuji… things will finally go somewhere, right?" Ha. No. First we need to check back in with the completely mundane world to make sure that everybody knows Satou and Margery are playing Hide The Sausage. Yes, I consider that the major event of the episode. Hell, I may even go far enough to say that the entire rest of the episode featuring the ‘giant eel’ ripping through ‘frigid wastelands’ until it tried to ‘let out a huge blast’ only to be crushed by an old woman was just an overly elaborate metaphor chronicling Satou’s failure in bed. I’m not sure how the swarm of devil birds and two-headed things in gasmasks at the end come into it. Maybe Margery gave him crabs… and syphilis.

So yeah, an episode where the main characters had about 2 minutes of screen time and half of it was about a teenager lusting after a mentally disturbed, naked woman. You know how thrilled I always am about those, particularly when the main characters are supposedly actually doing things. Hell, I though the Flame Haze war thing was over last week. It was a little funny watching the flame hazes go from slaughtering the denizens dozens at a time to start to being slaughtered themselves as soon as Mr. Eel showed up. JC Staff is still trying to figure out this whole direction thing. Luckily, they have six shows next season to work on it. Oi vey.

Main characters? Really?
