天下制覇

  

Don’t you have to have a character first?

I’ll be out of town over the weekend. It probably won’t affect much, but Saturday’s stuff may be a little delayed while I’m busy with some other stuff. Or maybe not. Who knows?

Impressions:

You know, Leon’s menstruation ring sure was talkative this week. I’d say that Ema’s backstory and reason for existing was a tremendous letdown, but at this point, it’s a small miracle that anybody with ovaries in this show gets to do anything at all besides being plugged by German. Oh wait, she’s part of the extended club now thanks to Rebound Leon… segueing right into the ED that features Leon protectively standing in front of his dead farm girlfriend, but we’ll just ignore that. At least the action was again a bit more on point this week than usual. Not entirely sure where the dog fight, complete with laser machine-gun fire came from, but it’s not corny CGI quasi-mechs one-shotting half-men-half-sofas, so I’m still counting it as a step above most of the show’s action scenes.

Anyway, she and her boyfriend hunted horrors until he became one. About 90% of her conversation with him was just shouting his name, so their relationship was about as compelling as Minami-ke’s Ninomiya and Sensei. Which didn’t stop them from spitting out a nearly ten minute flashback anyway. It wasn’t even an interesting one. Can’t save everyone, so might as well start killing at random. You’d think the people accustomed to hunting these things would realize that when your shadow grows fangs and claws and begins whispering “murder everyone” in your ear, that’d send up some warning bells, but nah. Kill ’em all! Luciaaaaanooooo!

Next Episode:

More ovaries!?
