天下制覇

 

At least it wasn’t puns.

Impressions:

Ugh, shiritori. Although you know what’s kind of impressive about it? They do a little timeskip to show that the game’s been going on for a while since they’re both such awesome and formidible players (of a children’s language game), and the only things they could think of to show this were a monster chasing Tits around, and a cowboy hat. And yes, there was indeed absolutely nothing in the first half worth mentioning. They already have their fill of idiots. I don’t see why they need yet another one.

And from a relatively stable, if stupid, beginning of the game, things escalated like… well, the thing it reminded me most of was Sephiroth’s ultimate attack which took 2-3 minutes, and involved the destruction of the entire universe. Except since this is anime, it took closer to 6, long after any tension had been bled dry and the only thing left to squeeze out was pus. It, of course, also involved the protagonists thinking a dozen steps ahead from before things even went eight ways bananas. Which they might have been able to pull off, if not for the multiple gigantic monologue right after it about how super awesome they were, while flashing back over almost the entire game. And all the dramatic pausing while they’re trying to sell “on the edge of death and falling into the ‘sun.'” But at least they upped the incestual overtones from joke to not! Great work, team.
