Python? Really?

Impressions:

Can't say I'm disappointed that they seem to be blasting their way through this tournament nonsense, though maybe that's not the best way to put it after spending half the episode pissing about in the entryway. And then at the end of the episode, they seem to have realized that 10 seconds of tongue play wasn't enough fanservice, so check out all these nipples. It was neither a strong start nor a strong end.

Still, it looks like it could be over within another 1-2 episodes, which is much better than lasting the rest of the season as I was dreading. Heck, even the nonsense about her being able to program herself… in freaking python no less… was pretty glossed over, which makes it far more tolerable than if they had tried to actually explain even an iota of how that would even. On the other hand again, the budget continues to be a struggle and prevents the action from actually looking good or having any impact when half the punches are stills and the other half are cut past. Plus, the knockoff Juri Han is just a reheated version of the previous sister without the yandere gags. Also, what did Himari even actually do in that fight? Pretty sure she was just there for the ride, literally.
