天下制覇

Damn. I like it when people die. Especially when it’s Kakeru.

Impressions:

You know, I was mostly digging this episode until the ending. I guess it’s better to get it out of the way this week than next, but if a significant chunk of this episode just turns out to be something Kakeru saw with my magic eye, then I’m probably going to be quite annoyed. He doesn’t have the glowing golden eye in the shot, but I’m not entirely certain what powers he’s supposed to have left after being killed and eaten by Yuka/Lis. God help us all if he pulls out some BS "my will was STRONG" nonsense.

The action was as pathetic as usual, as were the cuts away from giant dragons fighting witches to watch Misuzu angst it up. I found it particularly amusing when Kukuri reappeared and Shiori pointed out that she was Abaraxas and then we never saw her again. What the hell was that all about? Yes, Misuzu and Kakeru do have sex. Not some fade to black, but full on laying on top of each other and shots of Misuzu writhing around. I’m assuming that it’s due to Kakeru’s awkward fumbling inability to please a woman. And sadly, that’ll probably be the most notable thing about this show in the end.

Preview:

Yes, this was next week’s preview.
