天下制覇

You can tell who the man is in this relationship all too easily.

Impressions:

Well, the first half wasn’t too bad. At the very least, it was far better than most of what JC Staff has spat out for this season of Shana thus far. Oh, sure, all the reaction faces from around the world were silly, but at least Khamsin vs Sabrac wasn’t bad. Then they had to go and ruin that by having them all gape at the CG eel snake undulating. My patience with that ran out at least a month ago. Then Becky’s the first to jolt out of her haze and lazily toss a fireball at him. He spends the next two minues burning to death and thinking about dying. Stellar. "Smile, my dear butterfly." Yeah, sure. Whatever, dude. You’re on fire. 

Shana trying to kiss Yuuji in the middle of their fight was also… not exactly the greatest point of writing I’ve ever seen. They actually did a good job animating their foreplay for once though, brief as it may have been. Oh the jokes I could make about Yuuji bleeding because he’s the woman in the relationship. Crap, I think I already did. Of course, they don’t actually kiss because Yuuji is only pretending to have testicles magical space ghosts take Shana away. I feel like I’ve crossed out the wrong thing there. No… no. That’s right. After telling him that she’ll be the one to kiss him if he can’t do it, space ghosts. I’m less than excited for Shana’s declaration that a new battle’s now beginning. Frankly, I was hoping the Snake’s first act would be to just sit on all the grunt Flame Hazes so we’d never have to see them again.
