Moyashimon – 17

Hmm, this school festival arc in the end didn’t really work. It had a purpose: raising enough money to get to France, but the way in which it did it was uninspired and stereotypical.

The thing is that in the first episodes of this season, I praised this series for nailing college life. This episode… doesn’t really feel like college. It’s all so overblown, one-sided and riddled with bad innuendo jokes, portraying half of the campus as a giant pervert. The idol thing in particular was just bad.

What’s more is that this series is starting to feel a bit lazy. I mean, I can understand a lack of germs around Haruka, but within that auction, there wasn’t a single germ to be found, which is a little weird if you ask me. It just seems to me like the creators forgot to put them in or something. It’s pretty serious for a show to forget its main gimmick like this…

The one fun part of this episode was the boxing match. That brought in some creativity at last, and it feels fully in line with the school itself.
Rating: 3.5/8 (Enjoyable)

  1. Mmmm…I guess we have different tastes on comedy…
    I mean for me the robot part was just bad, it felt out of place with the show in general, no purpose whatsoever…
    This episode had problems, but the fried chicken joke was nice, and the way they used the idol wasn’t that creative but it was unexpected and I laughed quite a lot…

    1. The boxing part was hilarious to me, everything from the premise that Assistan professor can get his revenge to the professor being an MerFer cheating with a robot
