天下制覇

Silly AT-X and their non-widescreen broadcast.

Impressions:

It’s amazing to me that after over an hour of the show, Bridget still has yet to break 5 lines an episode. Kaho is also far too adorable and good-spirited to be in this school for psychopaths. I’m not even sure why a little cut set Miyabi off like that. They need to find a better balance between the girls having their eyes gouged out and becoming mentally unhinged from getting scratched. I did laugh at her knifing Bridget to interrupt the awful shot of her and Kazuya reaching to each other to… I don’t even know what since apparently contact was not necessary for him to shake off the harem-hold. I also enjoyed seeing that the males in this show have heads apparently more dense than concrete.  

Speaking of the harem-assisted bisexual molestation, most of this episode was concerned with introducing the Freezing mechanic, finally giving Kazuya a point. Not much of a point mind you, since he has the magical deus ex "I’m awesome" genes and can apparently overcome an entire harem of upper-classmen without any training whatosever… aaaaand all the power does is remove action from the show, but maybe they’ll think of something interesting to do with it. And maybe pigs will fly. As long as they can keep up the relatively decent action week in and week out and keep Kazuya on the side of hilariously terrible instead of just plain terrible, I think I’m content though. Low expectations and the promise of more eye-gouging also help.
