Ode to joy!

Impressions:

What? It’s over? That’s not an ending! But it’s okay, because I was laughing my ass off through the last five minutes of the show. Even now, it’s kind of hard to type because I’m still giggling like a school girl when I try to think about various things. Hell, I can barely even remember rolling my eyes when they went through almost every single transformation sequence in turn.

First the big moment for Natsuru’s testicles to finally drop, then the good guys transformed into their battle-damage versions while all the animals sang to the tune of the ode to joy. And the show ended on all the girls kissing Natsuru and then forcing his hand into their nether regions. Butt, bust, and beyond. It was possibly the most surreal thing I’ve seen in months, and that’s counting Kiddy Girl’s rather brief trysts with reality. And that’s without SPACE KAMPFERS! I was really certain that that whole bit was a joke, but then the punchline never came. The only joke really, were the white Kampfers. Man, were they pathetic. Four of them… one-shot by the three good guys. That’s awful. At least Evil-Sakura cleaned house after that, even if she couldn’t get Shizuku without the cheapshot by Natsuru.

So, it wasn’t much of an ending. Nothing was really resolved, and all the Whites (plus Sakura) ran off to fight another day. I think they’re just keeping the door open for a sequel. They sort of threw together some half-baked "Natsuru’s better as a girl" motivation for Evil-Sakura, but I don’t buy it for a moment. Still, this was kind of a surprise. Next week’s "finale" is marked as an "Extra Episode" and looks like it’s going off into true filler zone. I’ve given up trying to understand how this show goes. I’ll reserve my final impressions for next week.
