天下制覇

  

“Sound is for making people happy” may go very well go down as the stupidest anguished scream of this season.

Impressions:

Is that it? That’s all? This was a mess. Having discovered tacticts and strategy, the enemy’s grand plan was… to sacrifice one of their own to get close enough to ring a bell, sit there until someone stopped the bell, and then immediately retreat to combine into one? And then almost every single girl got a power up because… bitches got extra figures to sell? Christ. The final boss form was “large triangle sitting there.” Which they struggled with because they didn’t have high enough power until their feelings were having enough feeling. So even the action was little more than posturing constantly about running out of energy or these particular pieces of CGI which are utterly indistinguishable from the hundred you just effortlessly obliterated are totally going to kill us all!

Your antagonists suck, show, and you need to replace the posturing with substance. Strip away all that, and all you have is an entire episode of “Oh no! Another CGI thing.” “I won’t be defeated!” repeated about ten times over with the only half-assed attempts at actual escalation being either changing the CGI triangles from large to very large, or immediately undermined by everyone pulling power ups out of their asses. It’s not like I particularly want something horrible to happen to them, but this was like a mafioso bursting into a porcelain shop, rattling all the displays and going “Sure would be a shame if something were to happen here,” and then buying an entire china set and paying extra for volcano insurance. Figure out what the hell you want this show to be and then put some damn meat on its bones.
