天下制覇

I’m surprised that I’m posting this today too.

With shades of the Mitsudomoe screwup last season and numerous other ‘simulcasting’ mistakes of the past comes ANN putzing up their OreImo simulcast and letting episode 2 leak a day early (and a week before they were going to put it up!) by forgetting to set access permissions and naming the file the same as the first episode. Great work, team! Oh well, I had nothing to watch today anyway. Well, aside from the Yozakura Quartet OVA which was supposed to be out yesterday. It’s lost in the ether somewhere.

Impressions:

Better than the first episode, but still not quite up to where I’d like the show to be. Kyousuke continues to be the main problem, contrbuting little more than grunting and the ability to look traumatized by anything. I question his wisdom of "find friends on the internet" too. So much for reality. AIC also put a smidge of effort into the visuals this time with a couple visual parodies when Kuroneko and Kirino were arguing about anime. There was also a Claw. You know how I love Claws. It’s already the cutest character on the show, and perhaps may also have the most personality too. I can’t wait for Kyousuke to walk in on the Claw while it’s playing some kind of hardcore tentacle rape game, because that’s how the Claw rolls.

The main annoyance this week probably won’t bother too many other people, but the glasses girl speaks with an infuriating accent that makes me want to jam a sledgehammer into her mouth. It was almost as irritating as Kirino’s lime green nail polish. And she’s supposed to be a fashion model? Yuck. I also found it amusing how within seconds of visiting a message board, they found a nice and friendly group for her insted of a pack of deviants and rapists. To say nothing of getting a longwinded response seconds later before heading off to meet said group. Are we on the same internet here? Remember kids, you too can meet friends on the internet, and they won’t rape or murder you at all! That accent should count as assault and battery though.

Urgh. YouTube’s messing with my encodes for this for some reason. I’ll fix it when I can.
