Yes, he does make her fetch.

Impressions:

Yawn. Well, at least by Seven Arcs standards, we should be due for another decent episode next week, although I’m wondering if they’re going to stretch out this extra-super-serious invasion to the bitter end of the show. Well, the season at least, since Seven Arcs has never once made a series that ended at under 24 episodes. I think the name of Leo’s superweapon (Shinken Ex Machina) is what makes me cringe the most, but knowing that every major character on her side except maybe Wakamoto is against this war doesn’t really promise interesting battles to me either. Spending almost half the episodes on speeches and a further 5 minutes playing fetch with the remaining time on random myth-dump did not help either.

The main problem this week is that bloody nothing happened. Yes, Milly wagging her tail when Shinku plays fetch with her is kind of cute and kind of wrong. Yes, Shinku treating her like a dog by scratching her ears and rubbing her face raises all manners of questions about both him and her. Yes, Yukki’s legs really are that long. But it’s all still just candyfloss. If the whole show was like that, fine. But it’s not. We have evil prophecies and wars… well… ‘wars’… and it introduces developments, claiming story but then flits off to play frisbee instead. Come on, Seven Arcs. Focus here. Focus.
