天下制覇

All three of you weirdos.

Impressions:

Wait… what? That robot has been torn to pieces by giant blaster lasers at least two other times and tore itself nearly in half this episode, but somehow, this latest energy blast was enough to kill it? I was all ready to stick Tute in the recurring joke character that gets shot up every week. It’ll make a nice series joke, like always starting every episode with terrible CG vehicles. Well, at least the CG vehicles will live on, even if the vaguely gay robot does not.

While his death does mean that there are fewer annoying characters on the show, it also means that the other characters will have to step up to take their place, and we got the introduction to Nakasugi this week who was annoyingly persistent in her screentime. It took her all of 15 seconds of being on screen before she stumbled into Senkawa and promptly fell for him, so now we have the obligatory damsel in distress for the series, always loving Senkawa from afar while he’s completely ignorant of her because he’s a blundering cretin. He also ruined his chance for being kind of cool this episode when Birdy took over his body and used it to fight briefly by shrieking like a distressed terrier through that little sequence.

The death of Giga (and the parasite that loved him!) is a little sad, but on the upside, next episode appears to take place in space. Unless Senkawa’s annoying little chums are going to follow him into orbit somehow, that means precious little screentime for them, thankfully. On the downside, I expect Senkawa to shriek like a little girl when every new alien appears.

And yet again, I’m sticking to "I have completely forgotten what happened in the first 12 minutes of the episode. All I can remember was the second half."

Awww… Poor Giga
