天下制覇

 

Sure is easy to see where the effort went.

Impressions:

Another mixed bag with an awful first half and then sort of pulled things together to be kind of okay, but I wouldn’t go any higher than that. I suspect that if they had just punted on the first half entirely and focused all their efforts onto the teacher’s fight, it might have turned out better, but the first half was woeful enough as it is. Likewise, the whole thing with tits and her self-induced exercise amnesia and then managing to summon her giant sword just long enough to sort of jog with it a few feet was dumb, basically unanimated, and stuck out like a sore thumb as something I suspect that nobody wanted to include, but did so at either the behest of the higher ups or a misguided attempt to appease the almighty source.

Well, it also probably doesn’t help that the teacher’s motivation was just “I’m sadistic.” Not even any hint of a greater plot or anything. Simply “just cause.” The ‘main plot,’ as it were, was relegated to the same dream flashback as usual and then the last seconds. They did put some effort into the fight with bunny face, and it wasn’t overwhelmed by exposition and such, so it’s far from the worst thing trying to pass for action that I’ve seen this season. All the posing and godawful stills that it didn’t have were what made up almost the entirety of the fight montages that came before, which didn’t keep them from doing these big introductions to the mooks they immediately still’ed down either. However, it was still frequently broken up by chatting and the direction (choreography especially) didn’t do a very good job of creating much tension. As far as bipolar sadist rabbits go, I’ve certainly seen much better.

Back to nothing.
