Yes, Antagonist. They did forget you.

Impressions:

Yet another unabashed filler date episode to pad the show out between the fights where they each rub their tits, dress up for, or expose themselves to him in turn, one after the other. Except of course, for Laura and Rin because they get nothing this season, not even table scraps. Just some rabbit scraps, and Rin doesn’t even get any of that. All part of Operation String This Nonsense Out As Long As Humanly Possible, but now that they’ve already gone as far as openly prostituting themselves to him, trying to back things up to this is not going to cut it even as brainless eyecandy.

At least they don’t really seem to be moving in any significant way toward the horrendous melodrama that suffocated the end of the first season besides Ichika’s continued psychic visions and flashbacks which he continues to wonder about with po-faced obliviousness. That’s… uh… something? “It’s been worse, but they’re clearly not even trying now,” sure is high praise indeed. Whatever fight that’s about to happen to end this season could have just as easily come a month ago. Maybe two. It’s a hard argument to make that the protagonists are even aware that the antagonists exist most of the time.
