天下制覇

Boy, we sure like our monitors, don’t we?

Impressions:

Well this episode added something. Inane gag comedy. That was an odd directing choice, especially right before "oh crap guys, everyone else is dead, now it’s extra super serious!" Just about anything except a rim shot would have worked better there. A very large chunk was unfortunately staring at computer screens and exposition. Not nearly as bad as last week’s episode, but so little of it was actually needed. There was some fighting, but the choreography and direction remains pretty lacking. Still probably the best this show’s done so far, but we’re still just slaughtering legions of helpless grunts and then going up against a boss that stands still with their immovable and invincible bossness until one-shot.

That probably comes off a little more negative than I mean since this was significantly better than last episode and pulled itself together well enough toward the end, not to mention had the presence of mind for a character to attack an actual computer for once instead of a monitor which I have to applaud, but it just took a lot of pissing about to get there, and even things did get rolling, kept cutting away from characters doing things to have characters on the other side of the city exposit instead. Bad Japan. Bad!
