But at least it had a disgustingly huge amount of bloom.

Impressions:

What? That’s it? They get spit out into some glowy forest, get mugged by some knights from the place they literally just left on the log flume ride, and then sit there for the rest of the episode listening to a dragon pontificating? Where’s the adventure? Was that log ride it? And why are we pissing on about Jeanne? She’s barely even a character. She’s pretty much just a plot device, the holy unfailing knight to sell the king’s paranoia (magic/drug fueled, so even that’s undermined) by offing her and eating her hair. Her going from stoic to stoicer in the face of… I’m not entirely sure what that was… is not the tense (?) scene that they seem to think it was. I guess that the also-stoic zombie girl is supposed to rescue her so they can go off and… I’m not sure what. Have adventures where they blankly stare at each other?

No, it was not a particularly fun episode. I’m having a hard time telling where the show is going without many episodes left and there are far too many balls in the air far too removed from the protagonists or anything they’re doing. The only thing seemingly leading to a climax is Bahamut, misunderstood giant frog that he undoubtedly is, getting supposedly closer to being released. Is that supposed to be someone’s master plan? Apparently that ties into undermining the kingdom that demons just rampaged through (and angels couldn’t be assed to do anything about) because, I don’t know? She’s an important macguffin despite multiple spirited attempts to murder her just the other day?
