天下制覇

  

You can nearly spot the exact moment everybody gave up on this episode.

Impressions:

Maybe all the even episodes are just going to blow. This is another one of Japan’s many cliches that I just find utterly inexplicable. Not the unmarried middle aged woman thing, but that they still go ahead and make them super models who go out and get drunk and throw themselves at every man who passes, but all refuse to so much as touch them, while also portraying every male as passing out from the extreme arousal of so much as getting a glimpse of someone’s panties. It’s not like they’re Liz Lemon and farting it up on the night cheese express, and even that was a stretch. This is a world where Tinder failed because nobody was interested in having sex ever.

Anyway, that was the joke of the episode. Rabura is desperate. Oh, and when possessing her, the protagonist said a bunch of stupid things and then her date did them. Ha ha ha. Not only did he say she likes turtle food, but then she ate it and didn’t like it. It only gets funnier the more times they do it. Then things just got incomprehensible. First she was throwing a temper tantrum because some guy was just trying to use her to save the world (coincidentally, it’s the world she lives in), but then she immediately changed her mind and was willing to fist fight a friend for him, and it turns out that the magic bear is from her brother or something, and then Juice has some kind of traumatic stress attack because her friends are fighting. Then the episode simply unceremoniously ends having spent the last five minutes tossing out utter nonsense. Oh, and post-credits, one of them is dead. Uh, all right then.

Mostly though, I’m utterly dreading the now inevitable and insipid “You cared? I didn’t realize you cared! I care too!” blubberfest that is now coming.
