Pandora in the Crimson Shell #08 — Until You See God
February 26th, 2016
Oh those wacky black people.
Impressions:
Well, certainly a major step down from last week's episode, but compared to the month of pure faffing before that, I'll still count it as an improvement over that. Of course, the main joke of the episode was how ridiculous and how big a doofus and how bizarre the black guy was, cause, you know, foreigners. As if the ugly CGI cart wasn't bad enough, the budget also utterly collapsed at a couple points and turned into just stills or pans. The music, especially in the middle, was also especially grating despite being at an appropriately low volume.
I guess that speaks to how empty of anything those scenes were that I had time to not only think about, but focus on and be irritated by the monotone quasi-sirens that didn't provide a moment's respite. I feel like the fire never actually provided the imminent threat that it should have either, coming into the sharpest focus at the very end when they showed Nene 'dying' as two shots of oxygen level counting down. And… that's it. I almost kind of wish the kid had died and Clarion had been proven right too, but that's probably contrariness against the show's unrelenting deluge of sappy friendship and "Nene is literally right 100% of the time and the best most Jesusette person ever." Come on, Japan. People can have flaws other than "care too much about everything all the time." But I'm definitely expecting too much from a show that tried to use little robot girls fingering each other in an elevator until two completely different people orgasm.
