天下制覇

That was an anticlimactic end to the fight.

Impressions:

It felt like I missed something entirely, or one of the ones lurking in the background was going to surprise stab somebody out of nowhere, but nope. Just declares portal power is black hole power and blip, entire fight is over and everybody goes home to spend the rest of the episode doing its bad fanservice schtick. I still can't help but think of stuff like Duel Savior and Material Brave, which I obviously have some experience with, and how half-assed this is. Not just on the fanservice level since it clearly will not go so far as actual sex, but on the character side too. Nothing's really changed for any of them since the first episode in these dumb scenes. Maybe it is because there's no sex. No cathartic orgasms or what-have-you. Just the opening blue balling.

Anyway, apparently the above not actually having developed the characters of the first harem yet, the idiot protagonist is getting shipped over to the second harem. Not a surprise given how prominent they are in the ED especially, but we're over halfway through this season at this point, and any actual story, even just a smaller one, has still not gotten going at all, and I doubt switching up the cast is what's going to change that. I expect it's just an excuse to do the same thing but with slightly different archetypes. I guess they're buckling down for the long haul, which is admirable optimism, what with the antagonists themselves declaring that jack squat's going to be happening and they have no current plans but to sit and wait. Or just not caring and going to end with "read the trashy manga."
