What a surprise.

Impressions:

Well, it looked like it was going to be a little better of an episode, but then the chins returned in full force and we had a boob joke that stretched on for about 45 seconds followed by a changing scene in the girl’s locker and I started tuning out. Even without watching (too busy conquering Europe) I could immediately tell whenever there was a breast joke by the constantly bouncing noises. It certainly didn’t help that the whole episode was based around them thinking that bust size and brain power are inversely related so everything was centered around boobs from the very start, ending with her chest overcoming the metal casing Kogarashi built to contain it. Great.

Again, the issue here is that Kogarashi had maybe 30 seconds of screen time in the first ten minutes. Even after he showed up, he was just making your generic evil looking concoction. I’ve seen far worse from Kyouka earlier, or even Wilhelmina. Hell, even Ranma’s Akane made far scarier things than him.

Things did get a bit better in the second half. I think they managed to refrain from making a single breast joke for at least seven straight minutes… a new Maid Guy record. Instead Koharashi plugged a printer into his brain and then tried to transmit his mind to Naeka. While I approve of this change in direction, the terrible art and animation really is still just too painful to deal with.

I’m finished with this one. Sorry, I just feel betrayed here by the inclusion of what should be an awesome burly maid man and instead we get bludgeoned with boobs constantly. At least Kanokon is pleasant to look at. And possibly has fireballs. I love fireballs. Talk about a waste of a burly man.
