天下制覇

  

Why wasn’t the antagonist just doing this the whole time?

Impressions:

The sponsor message after the OP was cleavage swaying, whereupon it went into one of the random bands that are nowhere near important enough for me to keep straight blathering about desserts, followed by edition #49 of the antagonist going “Do the evil thing.” It was an episode that began in a hole that it never made much of an effort to crawl out of. At least the antagonist got off his butt in the final 15 seconds and I don’t know that there’s any anthropomorphic animal or Easter Island reject it can be revealed to be that won’t look disturbing, although I have no real idea why it’s still covered in shadows. Aside from assuming that the audience is comprised of nothing but imbeciles and won’t get the message unless evil characters are literally made out of darkness and evil, I mean.

The ‘plot’, as it were, was another competition with a band, so they tried to be extra flashy and showy, but were bad at it, so gave up after about 5 seconds of trying, whereupon they reminded each other of what great friends they are, did their best (aside from, you know, giving up after failing on their first try), and won anyway. Because… friendship or something. Now Japan, I’m not saying that you need to go cold turkey, but the first step is admitting that you have a problem. Friendship is not the answer to everything, and I can already see you trying to build up the envy and disappointment in the rabbit’s heart for what will no doubt be a godawful final boss battle won with hugs and having feelings. The same way that they’ve addressed everything from keeping secrets to running out of tampons on a particularly heavy month.

Next Episode:

The darkness in the rabbit’s heart grows.
