Shake those hips.

Impressions:

Pretty dull and blatantly introductory episode to two new characters, but they’re not well connected, and especially not so far as the main characters are concerned, so it was pretty much like two half episodes just chucked together with an almost manic swap between tones. Bloody massacre in an alley followed immediately by 80s sitcom intro theme intro. At least their pianist was apparently having a blast. That’s someone. I guess. The music at the end of the episode when Origami was getting felt up was also strange enough for me to note it. That whole scene was too stretched out to be properly scary though, to say nothing of going right into the lovey dovey ED.

Anyway, we’ve got the intro to Mana, a transfer into Origami’s squad of jobbers and claims to be Shido’s brother so ges straight into the harem, and Tokisaki who eats people and has a clock eye. You’d think the latter would at least fulfill my lust for violence more, but she’s oddly just kind of boring so far. I think it’s because she’s too obviously evil and the entire cast is completely oblivious to it fr the first twenty or so minutes of the episode. The entire episode is spent waiting for her to do something, and all she does is eat some generic punks with the big shocking twist just being that Mana killed her in the alley… but she came back. No matter how much the characters look floored about it, after most of them have been shown to be capable of leveling cities when they lose their binkies, a second case of zombie-ism is really not that jaw dropping.
