天下制覇

They sure figured out what to focus the episode on, didn’t they?

Impressions:

Well, at least they found something to put on the screen when the needless exposition began. Sometimes. I’m not sure I could’ve understood them explaining how she shot twenty balls at once without this important visual cue. The floaties also don’t actually seem like an appropriate handicap for guys. Medaka has two floaties made of silicon that are at least four times the size strapped to her chest, as does pretty much every single other female in the show. I did chuckle a little bit when they tried to mix together the floaties pulling them up and the balls being too heavy at the same time though. You’d think the upward and downward forces would cancel each other out, but no. They’re swimming uphill both ways. Physics!

So I guess a bit of a step upward for the show, but it’s still fairly meh. The antagonists apparent for this arc are just dumb and it’s unclear what the show’s going to even do with them. They’re… really confident and risk themselves… for money. GASP. Those curs! It’s just like the crap Medaka and Spikey-Hair do… but for money. Plus, considering that previous antagonists have been violent bullies and attempted to forment rebellion against the school council by distributing weapons, I think we need to up the ante a little bit here. Have them be using the money to fund a business that mulches puppies and then feeds them to dictators or something.
