天下制覇

You vindictive bint.

Impressions:

The most disappointing thing about this episode by far was that when locked in a dark storage room alone with Ami, Ryuuji Ami did absolutely nothing. Come on, girlfriend. At least a little teasing, or give him a peek at what he’s missing out on. You’re just blowing your chances on purpose now. Less angst, more body language, girl! Leave the whining to Minori and Kitamura. Of course, the one important thing she confessed was tuned out by Ryuuji… which is probably the worst and most forced plot device ever abused. The teacher’s crazed rantings were probably the high point. I think she could also probably use a good rough roll in the hay with Ryuuji Ami to relieve some of that pent up sexual frustration.

Most of the rest of the episode was not particularly interesting either. Montages and bad CG confetti abound until Minori ruins everybody’s Christmas by knocking over the tree and breaking Taiga’s expensive glass star. Frankly, she and Ryuuji are crazy for handling all that broken glass with their bare hands, not to mention that I’m pretty sure putting together a glass star like that in an hour or two is some kind of superhuman feat. At least there wasn’t much Kitamura this episode. At the end of it though, we just have Ryuuji being slightly more forceful in trying to get Minori to come to the party and her continuing to run away.
