天下制覇

Okay, now I’m tired of Shana.

Impressions:

This was supposed to fill in missing things to connect season 2 and 3? Uh. If you insist, JCStaff.

I’m sure it was meant to be a comedy episode, but instead it barely felt any different from any of the show’s other bad filler episodes. They find a spazzy hougu that switches Shana and Yuuji’s bodies, and then instead of just admitted the problem and solving it, they instead run around and get into every cliche joke that you can think of. I’m pretty sure Kasimashi and Otoboku covered most of the same jokes that were in this episode within about 5 minutes. We have the "wrong bathroom," the "boy complains about wearing a skirt and panties," the "boy-as-girl acts really cute and stuns someone," the good ol’ "Omigod, I have a naked girl body" shower fantasy, and then ending with the almost more cliche "your hearts were connected all along." Thank you, Wizard of Oz, I should have known that we’d just need to click our heels and we could go back home.

It was okay, I guess, but didn’t really have too much aside from Yuuji-as-Shana blushing and acting flustered and struck me as mostly just an excuse for some out of character fanservice pandering. I’ve seen pretty much every single on of these jokes before and it added absolutely nothing in the way of development for the plot or any character, so I can’t help but wonder what exactly the point of this was.

There is a new OP, but my laptop would take about 40 minutes to encode it, so it ain’t happening. It’s just Shana running around in the rain anyway.
