天下制覇

Just what this show needed, some  fishbowling old man with a spiral fetish.

Impressions:

*sigh* After ending last episode with a muck mecha coming out of a suitcase, I didnt expect this episode to open by having Tomo wake up in bed with Kurosaki (and Misao too I suppose), along with all manner of cheesecake shots for both of them. It was still better than the crazy old man I guess. Misao also seems more obsessed with Takatsuki’s enormous chest than Tomo does.

This honestly wasn’t the most elucidating episode, and while it did feel a bit better focused than the previous, it was also filled with a lot more irriting exposition. Takatsuki is the daughter of the mafia boss, although they’re not really on the best of terms. Shes also a bit thickheaded and gets upset over the ‘devilish’ powers. That doofus priest is the student president too, which is very quickly approaching ridiculousness. Hes got his own ghost too which becomes his Asura Machine, so it’s hardly a leap to assume that Misao is the same for Tomo (which was already heavily implied anyway), although she was ‘killed’ this episode. I can’t imagine ghosts remain dead for long. Speaking of which, Tomo needs to stop being surprised every time somebody says that they can see Misao. More foreshadowing about a ruined world etc etc.

Well, I guess I’ll stick with it for now as a late Wednesday/early Thursday swing show. I’m really not digging all the unexplained things or how they keep piling more stuff on. Nor how they just completely bypassed the cliffhanger from last week. Or maybe I won’t. Meh.
