Really, I’m not sure what to think of this series… this episode kept hopping back and forth from interesting to “WTF!?”. In this episode, Mayuki’s favourite director gets influenced by Byakko so that he plants a terrorist attack in a tall building in which Mayuki happens to be. I liked that point, where he basically tried to use the explosions for inspirations for his final movie. He also put enough thoughts in his plan, so it was quite interesting to watch.
But really, the way Mayuki tried to convince him to stop with a cup of tea was just a bit too ridiculous. This wasn’t a good episode for him anyway, where all he did was whine over and over. What I liked was how this episode didn’t feature his classmates, but Seiga and the two maids. It’s good for a bit of variation, though I facepalmed when Sanae started frisbeeing with a random camera. You’re on top of a building about to collapse, so the last thing you’d want to do is fool around. Also… where the heck did that giant robot come from!
I think it’s safe to say that this is one of the strangest series of the season. It does have one of the more unique premises, despite being so far-fetched. The thing I’m interested in the most is what this series is going to do once it hits its halfway-mark (assuming it’s going to have 26 episodes). I wonder what’s going to happen when the characters are fleshed out enough. And Mayuki grows a spine or something similar.]]>
