So much for last week's budget.

Impressions:

I did explicitly say last week that I don't give a single rip about the dumb convoluted MMO-or-not schtick that is the story, except insofar as it's an excuse to develop the characters or push them into fighting, adventures, or whatever. Characters drive the story, not the other way around, and what were the characters doing this week? Listening patiently? Glaring? Declaring that what they truly wanted was to eat and have fun before being kicked out? At the very least, make it organic, not a couple demigods who pop up out of nowhere to do flashbacks, particularly when you're cutting away from zombie invasions headed by giant possessed monsters.

So an entire episode spent sitting around basically recapping the previously unseen story to date and explaining how it's even more convoluted than that with its own time loop nonsense centered on a character who is a barely functional golem at the best of times is not a continuation of what the previous episode finally got right. Least of all when it ends where the previous episode arbitrarily cut off, teleporting Boobs right back to mid-slice to finish off the actual golem, making this whole exercise almost entirely a 20 minute aside that was about half flashback, again, trying to ascribe character, drama, and pathos onto a barely motile sack of flour.
