…Sarah Jessica Parker? Is that you?

Yes, I did glance at Unhaltable Bahamut Cron Job. Its second episode featured a buttload of angsty flashbacks, a giant titted pink haired girl who snuck into his bed to get groped, and then the big finale was whipping out his dark sword of darkness to use the dark power of darkness to fight the enemy, who is rapily straddling the main heroine while ripping her clothes off, using the dark power of his inner darkness. If you're playing Light Novel Bingo, I think you score a yahtzee with that one. Certainly nothing that amused me as much as…

Impressions:

Oh god, guys. I know you want to pretend to be a totally cool actiony competitive sports thing, but this wasn't an in-between frame. You lingered on this for a good second or two with speedlines. These two images are half a second apart. What kind of nightmarish monster is this? What the hell are you making that horse do!? And this is on top of the very, very sad CGI throughout that entire 'exciting' sequence.

Otherwise, there's not a lot to say about the episode since it was largely like the first. Penis Haver was barely around, so his lack of personality was covered up by his lack of presence, and they went through many of the same motions. Large chunk of completely uneeded exposition about how some things are fast… but some things are strong, minor dumb fanservice, more exposition, more shots of underwear and asses, and ending with an ugly CGI game of not-quidditch that everyone is way too into because everything in Japanese media is your whole life. I think it speaks more to how dreadful UBC's second episode was that I'm heavily leaning towards this than this one's strengths. Most of te characters aren't awful though, and basically writing Penis Haver out of the story when he has no point shows some thought is going into adaptation, which is more than I can say for many things. Still, too many characters do to often be slapped upside the head and told to stop being quite so stupid more often than is comfortable (and would probably count as animal abuse), and it's neither as funny nor as cute as it thinks it is. Some actual structure in episodes would do this wonders instead of simply meandering from start to end.
