Shouting, shouting, shouting, nonsense misunderstanding.

Pseudo-Impressions:

Well, on one hand, there was a bit less shouting this week. On the other hand, I think that they straight up forgot to include jokes for entire segments. There was still way more shouting than there needed to be, and the entire second half of the episode was the idiot bumbling from one woman to the next, saying one nice thing, and then they blush and spontaneously ovulate out of instant unrestrained lust for him, you know, like all unmarried women above the age of 3 have for any man who pays them even a passing bit of attention. That's not the joke though. I think the joke is supposed to be all the name puns, because otherwise, it's… that they're squabbling passive-aggressively over him? That one of them pops up and goes "It's fanservice"? I have no idea. But still compares to the first half's triple jokes of "She thinks they're poor but they're not," "technology makes things different," and "Indonesia is a place that exists." Those aren't the jumping off point for which humorous situations will develop. Those are the jokes themselves.

I think this is where the show and I part ways and I have to come up with something else to do with the week since I cannot imagine the Rich Jackass Detective show will turn the corner and not be horrible (belated edit: And since the resolution to this week's was "I'll gas an entire skyscraper with a rocket launcher from an attack helicopter because I'm rich", that would be a resounding no). I legitimately do not understand social media's view that it was somehow Bond-like or he was a "cool" character instead of an entitled, arrogant, dickwad. Clearly I lack enough love for oligarchs. I'm good with sticking to Gleipnir on Sundays, Princess Connect is probably fine on Mondays, but little else grips me. Listeners… might be okay on Fridays, but it's characters and action have been pretty poor so far, and I'm not sure either Wave or Appare-Ranman can turn around their pretty dismal second episodes. That would still leave a large mid-week gap that I want to fill with at least some kind of weekly post.
