天下制覇

I want… sexual healin’.

Impressions:

For the most part, a rather formulaic and not terribly interesting episode. A little training, a little sexual healin’, Wakamoto gets drunk, Mashiro goes to school to further the whole Tayu/human thing, can’t make friends, rocks fall, everybody dies. It is a little bit interesting that they segregated Mashiro from Yuuri (and most of the rest of the cast) by booting her up to the elite school, but I imagine that that just means that she’ll become friends with the somewhat dense Mifuyu. The introduction (or reintroduction) to the entire cast at the school entrance was a couple degrees of painful. I already can’t wait for Yumina to be eaten by a phoenix.

Speaking of which, man, the OP is spoilertastic. Very little of it was anything that I didn’t already know, but I thumbed through the Japanese wiki. Ameri’s eventual Tayu powers/issues, Nue as a good guy, Yumina’s wings, etc. I like the song, aside from the irritating chorus, although like the rest of the show, the production really leaves a lot to be desired.

Hrm… I think that’s all I have to say. Show could use more igniting Yuuri and less shrieking Ameri.
