What is with this season and sticking sharp metal sticks down your throat?

Impressions:

Well, a step in the vaguely right direction at least as far as pacing goes, because with the way the last arc went, I can easily see them thinking about stretching this through two or three episodes. The first half was no less nonsense than usual regardless. Big Boots really didn’t learn any kind of valuable lesson or overcome anything, so the focus on her was somewhat baffling. The closest she got was realizing that her ovaries flutter every time she’s around the only male she’s ever around, but he didn’t even do anything involved with her at all. Maybe this is the point where she starts manning up slightly, but probably not. I don’t even know why we should care about that?

Anyway, another school training exercise thing, since apparently we’re made of nothing but those. This time to an island as an excuse to let the only one who missed out on the pool in the previous episode wear a bikini. There, they’re attacked by the people who they beat in the opening episode who weren’t kicked out after all, just sent to the rough and tumble B Squad. At least the bunny girl knows how to eat a bloody kebob, something that can’t be said for her students. The ability to summon giant weaponry out of thin air hasn’t imparted on them the danger of sticking metal spikes into their faces for some reason.
