天下制覇

Well there goes my interest again.

Impressions:

No surfer lesbian lobster harem pirates? No uncomfortable attempts to give Red a chubby? An entire episode of talking heads, characters not actually doing a bloody thing, wailing violins, and "fighting baaaaaaad"? Well paint me green and call me Gumby because it’s time to stretch everything out again like there’s no tomorrow. Although I think the most damning part of this episode was the end, when someone simply keeled over from a heart attack after all the ‘excitement’ had passed. Otherwise, it would have just ended with the only thing happening being everyone standing really, really still for a couple minutes. 

Also, by excitement, I mean that the plan to avoid the evil glowing sea aliens was to shut everything down until they went away. Good lord, there was even a point where someone dropped a wrench and everyone gasped in panic that the sound of a single wrench falling would have doomed the entire city. I guess they must have also butchered all the cows on the spot to make sure that none of them mooed at the wrong time and doomed the entire city. Also, might I add, the whole stillness and quiet thing? That would have been a lot more tense (or any tense at all) without the music swelling and heaving through the entire thing. Whatever tone they were going for there, they didn’t hit it at all.
