天下制覇

  

Throw in some shots of a fetus too. Fetuses are deep.

Impressions:

This episode was a little different from the massively padded last couple at least, but I remain uninterested. I just don’t have a thread to grab at to anchor me to… well, anything. The plot is an almost endless stream of technobabble and the characters that exist outside of that disappear from the episode with the same abruptness that they appear. This episode didn’t even have any action. I got the distinct impression that I was actually watching three or four different episodes here that had somehow gotten spliced together. I feel like I need to be keeping meticulous notes just to have the faintest idea what’s going on, and the dozen scruffy teenagers, all with similar personalities and appearances certainly isn’t helping. Now, I’m not saying every character needs to have a different gigantic ‘do with hair all the colors of the rainbow, because lord knows I barely keep Cross Ange’s stable of lesbians straight (*ba-dum*), but it wouldn’t hurt.

I don’t think it was as boring as the last two Tokyo Paperwork episodes, but it’s so cloaked under the fog of obfuscation that I’m honestly not sure. Either way, I’m about tapped out here.
