Mitsudomoe #02 — Precious… Bodily… Fluids…

July 9th, 2010

 

A pie fight would have been a good alternate ending.

Impressions:

The second episode was nowhere near as good as the first episode, but still decent I suppose. I honestly enjoyed Campanella more this week, but the two do kind of complement each other well on opposite sides of the spectrum. I am well aware and accepting of its low brow humor, but the entire first half was dedicated to the joke of "Ha ha, bodily liquids everywhere" as its dominant joke. The first bit was Two’s snot (yes, I currently remember their names by their numbering classification) and the second part was just urine samples all over the place. On the ground, in the coffee, in people’s eyes, everything short of drinking and producing them. I appreciate a good piss joke as much as the next person (which is to say that I don’t), but 5 minutes of them after 5 minutes of snot jokes is well beyond excessive and I was begging for those segments to be put out of their misery by the end.

The second half was a little bit better, but I think that the joke about One coming up the stairs was stretched out at least thirty seconds too long. The whole premise of One dumping Nipple on Teach and then making scary faces and blackmailing him wasn’t particularly inspired to begin with anyway. I did like the Super Sentai poster in his apartment though. The final bit started out promising, with Three wanting to catch bugs just to squash them in front of two and traumatize her, but just ended up with her dangling there, unwilling to kill the cicada or accept help because then her reign as Lord of Terror would be finished.

Ghosts, underwear, and put-upon fathers.

    Also your numbering system confounds me. Young goes before old?
