天下制覇

I figure saying something now will head off responding to comments later.

Impressions:

Let me stress that this is not a pilot for an upcoming show. It’s just a seven minute special released with one of the manga volumes. There are no plans at this time for a full series and if/when there is one, the cast/studio/everything will most likely not be the same.

I can’t say that I’m overly impressed though. Something about watching some kid receive power and spending the whole thing freaking out and sobbing makes me want to throttle the little brat. With only seven minutes, they don’t really do anything more than introduce the basic premise and put together a montage of shots of Yukiteru looking traumatized and certainly nothing particularly impressive or interesting. "Here’s some cell phones that tell the future. Here’s a bomber. Here’s the crazy girl that wants to jump your bones for no reason. THE FIGHT TO BECOME GOD BEGINS." Uh, sure.

He also drinks the world’s most staining milk. Or perhaps that was bleach. That would go a long way to explaining a lot of things.
