Pudding with worms!

Impressions:

This is as good as the show’s going to get, isn’t it? A bunch of girls screaming his name, and then patiently waiting for him to finish listening to his imaginary other girlfriend finish a minute long exposition dump while the antagonists also patiently wait for everything to finish. I mean, just because you just killed someone, that doesn’t mean you need to be rude. You could really tell how upset Neko was too by the way she continued to attack the floor ineffectually. And of course after his goddamned five minute death scene, he doesn’t remain dead for more than about two minutes before the new girl turns herself into a steaming pile of pudding to bring him back to life, because apparently that’s something she can do. And then they just leave her sitting there in a steaming pile for the rest of the episode that the camera kept focusing on until it started growing maggots. Of course, she was also talking as pudding, so apparently lack of body integrity isn’t the obstacle it once was.

At least the antagonist male was surprisingly competent, punching people and picking off magic users with the unbeatable power of Gun-Haver with nary a comment. That didn’t stick when it came time for his own long flashback and expositional spew, but it was a fleeting glimpse of someone who wasn’t a blithering imbecile in the word of botched lobotomy patients. Yada yada, don’t give up speech, “we’re the super great teens who can do anything,” hastily switch gears to try to put together some kind of conclusion next week. I’d complain about that, but it’s the first time they’ve clearly been going toward anything at all in months. Then again, it’s turning the moronic titbeast of the group into some kind of giant magical laser umbrella, so points only for effort, not for execution.

Next Episode:

Exciting conversations with dead people.
