Chrome Shelled Regios #15 — “How To Feel It Is The Re-Different.”
April 18th, 2009
Mifi, are you even literate?
Impressions:
Well, I guess it was an alright episode, but a healthy chunk of it was other characters learning what we’ve known for months, if not the very first episode. Naruki figures out that Layfon really is that strong after he takes out her and the rest of 17 on his own in a mock battle, also that both Felli and Nina like Layton, Layfon tells Mei all about his terrible past right down to the painfully cliche "I’m a monster," Layfon and Nina figure out that Mei’s been the one delivering the lunches, etc. Queeny did get a bit pissed off at her body double for getting a bit out of line with how she treats her Heaven Blades, and somebody (likely under the influence of the goat, if not the goat himself) dropped a bridge on Layfon and Mei at the end, but that was really about it for development this week. Oh, and they did that "Legend of Regios is a TV show" gag again. Speaking of that, it’s amazing that aside from the bad pronunciation, the English there isn’t bad. Mifi’s articles on the other hand…
Which isn’t to say that it wasn’t relatively enjoyable. Just that the SD war over the potato peeler was the highlight of the episode in just about every way. That entire segment was priceless. Mei pretended like she was restoring a dite spatula and frying pan (and you know how I like spatulas), and then Sharnid gave the eavesdropping duo the secret weapon. Nina, being the bitch that she is, ended up slamming Felli face first into the wall when their fighting drew Fon-fon over to investigate. Poor girl. Really though, you could probably turn off this episode after that part and you probably wouldn’t miss much… aside from a goat cockblocking Mei by dropping a bridge on her.

Squad 17 has to make do without Layfon.

It was a fun episode. Nothing big happened but we get a little more character development. Mei-shen is the obvious winner this week. Is it me or did Naruki seem to fall for Layfan. Here I was hoping to have at least one girl show some self control.
Goat-spirit seems to be creating some havoc but who’s to say the bridge collapse wasn’t part of Haia’s revenge. He seems to be making an appearance next episode. For anyone worried about Layfon, he does have some internal ki that gives super human healing. Rub a little dirt and he’s good to go.
