天下制覇

Really not necessary.

Impressions:

I think what this show really needs at the moment is to show that these dream fights are actually having some kind of effect. The Gospel of Uncle Ben meets Persona thing that it's doing is solid enough, although I think we could have done without the ogre woman with floppy boobs who shoots paint from them, and it really seems like the kind of thing where they'd rolling the saving of one girl into her helping save the next, but it's not really clear what murdering the monster avatars of abusive people actually does, or if it's all some kind of delusion for her own self-satisfaction of wanting to see herself as a hero. On the other hand, we have the whole other egg girl bit, which couldn't be less subtle if it was painted on a charging elephant. It was also pretty shoehorned in.

It was still a strong second episode. Like I said, I dig its core schtick and am very pleasantly surprised at its continued focus on being an action show. I just think it needs to do a little bit better job making the case that A.) What they're doing actually matters since it's all incredibly surreal and dream-like, and B.) They really need to justify where this whole wish thing came from. I also feel like we could have just left the suicide girl as where she already was, but apparently we're going to be over-melodrama-ing the ever-living hell out of it, with imputations that she was sexually assaulted as well as sleeping with one of the teachers. Less is more. We've already got the important part. Don't ruin it by making it into a total soap opera.
