Mental note: The "Save Draft" button is not the "Post" button.

Impressions:

We started off with false modesty, more or less… or at least people hiding things their best features. Voluptous breasts in bandages… vs hole digging… sure… why not? Part two was about how one person saying something works creates a landslide… but after a certain point, about 75% of the dialogue was "ariari" or "ari ja ne?" or the occasional "ariariariariari!" so my brain kind of shut down. I did appreciate the brief Comartie parody, complete with stilted and jerky Cromartie animation. I’m also pretty sure that this is responsible for New Coke failing. The final part was about appealing to first time customers/viewers. They put up little character explainations and bios over the quasi-drama they were performing below. And then Meru’s padded bra from the previous episode exploded.

Part two was easily the most amusing, though I am going to assume that the walls and walls of text during the ‘drama’ part were full of jokes. I don’t know how Shaft expects people to read that stuff anyway. Sure, flashing up the text registers on some mental level, but despite whatever multi-taskers may think, you cannot process two streams of information (in this case, written and auditory) at the same time with any degree of retention… and I certainly wasn’t about to try to puzzle through their three paragraphs of text that changed every five seconds. Silly Shaft. I do feel sorry for Meru this episode. Not only did her bra explode, but she ended up in those hideous pigtails. Poor poor girl.
