Why didn’t anybody ever lose their sense of smell?

For the record, I knew Jast was interested in putting LWR on Steam. I had absolutely no idea that translated to “The moment you confirm that it’s technically possible to remove adult content, we’re announcing that we are.” I wonder who they’re expecting to do all that work.

Impressions:

Now, I may be remembering the chronology a little wrong, but I’m pretty sure that during Karin’s tragic sacrificial flashback about everything she lost, they used shots from her giving up on training to instead have a party with her friends as a horrible thing. By losing a fight that she was unprepared for. Awareness, thy name is not this show. Despite the blissful lack of info dumping this week, the author interference was still in extreme effect, with Yuuna spontaneously being unable to transform for just long enough to cry about it and for Karin to sacrifice herself, whereupon it immediately came back, and Karin going into self-sacrifice overdrive every time she gets so much as a scraped knee or a couple needles in the mech arm. The only other place you can hear this much yelling about sacrificing yourself is in Supernatural fanfiction. Can’t wait for the ultimate super sacrifice next week that makes everything better too!

It’s still impossible to be moved by it since it’s all still just the author handing out ‘suffering’ utterly arbitrarily… or really understand why they’d even transform to begin with when they’re already effortlessly killing the pac-men by the thousands. Again, if they were actually, you know… physically harmed by the glow sticks being haphazardly flung at them, or maybe had a limb chewed off or three, that would be a hell of a lot more convincing than wincing slightly and the writers handing out another ice cream scoop of existential angst. Alas, the angst cup runneth over.
