Ow, my brain.

Yes yes, I’m late. I’m also still minorly buzzed from alcohol. That may or may not impact my understanding of anything here.

Impressions:

Have I complained about the half-assed openings and endings they’re using this season to fill time yet? Ah, yes… I have. It just becomes all the more obvious when the episode ends in partial silence because Meru isn’t singing her half of the song. At least she squeaked a little bit. This episode was still definitely not one of the better ones for this series regardless.

Part 1 covered advertised easy ‘victories’ of the world, although it spent about as much time with them playing Old Maid with cards to trump their old lives. I didn’t find it really that interesting, and the Old Maid dragged on a little bit. About the only thing that made me chuckle a little bit there was from HYPER MEDIA CREATOR ZETSUBOU being one of Nozomi’s trump cards.

Part 2 started out being about improperly paying attention to the date, but then they got distracted and just started punning off of ‘buru’ -> ‘blue’ for about two straight minutes. A man can only take so many bad puns in a row. I’m probably still too buzzed to understand exactly why Nozomi was eating a dog too. The final part was Kafuka making up the new non-word "Slew" (well, "suruu") to describe a new lifestyle… not exactly a ‘slow life’ but something sort of in non-progress, or quarter finished I guess. I think that when they start making up new words and then trying to find things to fit, they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel.
