Why aren’t we seeing more of Ms. Naked again?

Impressions:

Another very dull episode without much of anything going on, complete with terrible date montage. I’m kind of surprised there wasn’t an insert song over all of it, but maybe they just used up all their insert songs for the karaoke bit and then the later Tsubasa concert bit. Having a third of a show be insert songs when inserts are already built into the fundamental premise would probably have been pushing it anyway, but I’m just reaching for anything nice to say. At least they’ve given the info dumps a rest, but it just highlights that there’s not really much compelling in the show outside of anything involving the Noise, Gungnir, etc.

Anyway, Kurisu continues living like a hobo, looking about as defiant as anybody can while drinking milk, Hibiki continues her super magical frienship power healing of Tsubasa’s soul, another semi-teamup of Kurisu and the good guys, another terrible concert scene, Tsubasa gives a speech about being a nicer happier person now, etc. Nothing they needed a whole episode for and hopefully this is the last of the time wasting episodes and we can get back to the plot next week.
