天下制覇

  

Speaking of spinning its wheels…

Impressions:

No less a mess than last week’s episode, making this arc at least consistent in its scattered, unfocused slapshod state of affairs. No, the five minute insert song (five goddamned minutes) and constant cutaways from the already dull motorcycle race to even duller chiseling away at architecture didn’t help. I still have no idea why the Romeo and Juliet/rival ‘gangs’ thing was even there since it served no purpose, but I guess that’s what you get when your big heartwarming overcoming adversity moment is a montage of maybe an hour or two of doing some work, if even that long. It just makes me think that if an entire city’s work these things can be made, delivered, installed, and have confetti shot from cannons at it in the time it takes to run a race and still be done long before dinner, then gee, that sure was a lot of hubub last week about bloody well nothing. God help them if they spill some kool-aid on a white couch because that’d be an entire month of sulking about.

And once again, the protagonist team exists basically only to be background characters in montages. Go team.
