天下制覇

You're killing me here, anime.

Impressions:

It's a banner day in Fairy Gone-land. Only about 30 seconds of flashback this week, and tucked behind the ED. Of course, it'd be a banner-er day if the rest of the episode hadn't been hot steaming crap. While Annihilated City this week opted for a vacuous flashback, Fairy Gone opted for an entire episode of musing about the geopolitical situation. Okay, not an entire episode. They also all stood in a circle and watched people do maintenance on the robots that have been hijacked by baddies in 100% of their appearances to date yet (best security system ever!), then had a whole sequence about getting dressed up in their frilliest clothes so they could meet some dude and just stand there staring, which is where the episode ended… until they went back afterward to fit a flashback in.

Come on, anime. I don't feel like I'm asking for a lot to have a story that progresses each week, with characters who are not just integral parts of it, but the actors who move it forward; the formers of their own destiny. These episodes attempt nothing and achieve nothing, so what's the goddamned point? Skip a week and come back with a barn burner if you really can't be bothered to come up with goddamned anything.
