天下制覇

Never before have I wanted a shot of scenery and some soothing background music more.

Impressions:

They wasted no time getting to the meat of the episode, and yes, that's a pun. The first couple minutes was basically nothing but flailing boobs. I kind of wish it had stayed that way, because the nasally shrieking that made up most of the rest of the episode was doing wonders for exacerbating my migraine. I think a grand total of one of them wasn't using the Maximum Cloying voice, especially the motormouthed one that was at maximum volume the whole way. It certainly didn't help that the lead was the breathiness and shrillest of all, which meant that all the "Eeeehs!?" and "Aaaaahs!?" took on particular keening knife-edge, while continuing to grind against the pain center of the brain with every single unneeded explanation of the current situation. Yes, I can see that they indeed do get along. I'm glad we all picked up on the content of the last two goddamned minutes and have now reviewed it.

It's Yet Another Girls Hanging Out show. I couldn't really specify the differences between this and about fifty others of its ilk. I guess the start was more balloon boob focused, and around the halfway point, it diverged into a kind of odd standup routine, but aside from the voices being extra annoying, those were the only things that stood out to me that would differentiate it from its legion of compatriots. It's neither particularly cute nor funny, nor is there even the slightest trace of a story or theme to drive things. The episode wasn't interested in doing anything with the characters but introduce them, and they're all just the standard collection of cliches. They're cute, supposedly, and that's all the content you need or are going to get. What joy.
