Campione! #03 — ¡Mas Lengua!

July 20th, 2012

And like a true protagonist, is always traumatized by it.

Although I don't know how I feel about exposition spit.

Impressions:

Infodumping, infodumping, infodumping, infodumping. Yeesh. At least it continues to do a passable job with its fights. It's actually kind of funny how the action shows sort of evolve over the Thursday to Saturday span from outright awful in production to decent. This could still use a whole lot more of them and a whole lot less standing around spewing out endless torrents of Greek mythology.

Leaving all the idiot lectures aside, I guess the episode was supposed to be real introductions to the useless White Mage/Cheerleader du jour as well as the antagonist du jour. And yet both mostly just sort of stand/float around and yammer. Only one of them managed to jam her tongue into Godou's throat and force him to drink her spit though, so we'll give her the edge. Yada yada, GODS. EVILISH. Got it. Go kill them already. When 95% of your episode is utterly forgettable and can be better summed up in a Wikipedia article, you're doing something wrong. At least the remaining 5% remains strangely watchable, albeit still in no way impressive.

    Nothing Rustle more my Jimmies than Heterosexuality!

  • Nivea says:

    Athena isn’t some useless goddess always needing help like others series?!?!

    I think I’ll keep watching the series.

  • Kadi says:

    Do you have anything to say about the scene between Erica and Godou after he woke up again?

    (yes, yes, too much talking, too much infodumping and far from enough alcohol involved, but this is more about protag/heroine bearability)

  • Gorilla13 says:

    You enjoyed every single tongue thrusting scenes. Don’t lie!

    I find this series to be garbage but at least the ecchi is done rite so I guess I could keep skimming through every ep to get my ecchi dose.

  • The Phantom says:

    Why is blonde girl suddenly in love with him, are they gonna elaborate on this later, like she has been using him all along kind of twist or she just fell in love with him because… this is anime xD.

    • Chipp12 says:

      I’ll ask Kuroyukihime about this.

    • jingoi says:

      Asked the same thing about Kuroyukihime, answer I got was “because he’s the main character.”

      Headaches forever!

    • Anon says:

      Volume 3 … you seen that, its episode 1 and I suppose volume 11 that is about the fight he had with Salvatore.
