"You guys wanna listen to some vinyl?"

Impressions:

Apparently the harpy woman's schtick is to be the show's love interest. Uh, okay. That makes slightly more sense than the incomprehensible story of the episode about a serial bomber tengu pacifist Buddhist with magical magnet powers setting up Rube Goldberg Pythagoras Switch traps just to screw with people, as part of his master plan to… uh… preserve tengu culture. So they set off his last 'bomb', which was just fireworks, which summoned a magical plinth in the middle of a baseball field. And then the squirrel got blown up a second time by apparently a second bomber.

See. Just trying to summarize the episode has me questioning not only the sanity of the people who wrote this, but my own as well. Did I really get all this right? Wait, the plinth was supposed to be a giant tengu nose? I'm pretty sure if the giant severed limb of a yeti suddenly appeared in Dodger's Stadium, glowing with ectoplasm, there'd be a lot more than some tabloid photo of "Wow, mysterious event!" Also, what on Earth was the deal with the entire weird-ass trap room the dude set up? A doorknob that detaches, turns into bindings, becomes magnetic, all so you can prank people with a pile of fake dynamite, and instead force them to listen to your favorite boy band. I could not come up with this nonsense if I tried.
