天下制覇

Japanese fabrics truly are amazing.

Impressions:

I’m kind of impressed by future Japanese clothing. Not only is it form fitting and can stretch without tearing, no matter how the body may distort or twist, but it perfectly contains all mess that may result from a body being converted into steaming cream of human soup. I bet it breathes like velvet too. Or not at all since it’s apparently air tight. Or a more cynical person would just note that that whole sequence was just the result of someone in the writer’s room going "Hey. Don’t people make fun of us because we always have teenagers be the only ones who can pilot these things? We’ll show them by addressing that in the thinnest and most blatant way possible!"

Anyway, another not terribly exciting or eventful episode. This train’s only really fun when it’s totally off the rails. The adults turn out to be bad after all and the students band together because Teen Power Yay! This show does seem to be doing its absolute damnedest to use the giant robot and vampire as little as possible, about the only distinguishing things about it besides the remarkably awful writing. Maybe we can stop having the struggle every episode be to get to the thing again, eh? And speaking of braindead. The entire student body turns out to sing at the tanks? Really? This is really the plan? Couldn’t someone just set a fire somewhere? And they’re fist pumping for peace withot a trace of irony too. Haruto is also starting to develop Shuu’s inconsistency issue of spontaneously turning into Spiderman whenever a feat of daring do is required… occasionally somehow biting people on the hand while tackling them, which also works, I guess. Space vampires aren’t picky as to where they bite apparently. The inaccuracy of the SMGs is also starting to get more than a little ridiculous. Can’t we just give you a pistol and one or two missed shots instead of a dozen bullets sprayed in an almost comical outline around the body every time an SMG is fired?

Next Episode:

How long until he jumps into a female body and discovers boobs?
