Utawarerumono 2 #25 — 15 Minutes of Montages
At least it ended even worse than the show's gone. Impressions: Well, this was certainly different, but somehow even more godawful. Were you hoping that the entire first half was going to be a...
View ArticleUtawarerumono 2 #24 — Close Ups of Eyes
Way to save the budget. Impressions: Far too little, far too late, and Haku still may as well not have shown up at all. The animation did take an awkward lurch upward, but still, for every five...
View ArticleUtawarerumono 2 #23 — Friendly Fire
The only actual threat this week. Or if anybody's going to remember that the masks exist. Impressions: Well, the budget did give a last gasp as it wasn't as embarrassingly terribly animated as, say,...

And budget has gone to 0. Impressions: More mincing over how totally important everything is done through mincing around and telling each other that. Half the episode spent mincing over how Whose...

Quick! Leave the battle and do nothing like your lives depend on it! Impressions: Hey, let's play the same game as last week. They've finally arrived at the battle, been fighting things, emperor...
View ArticleUtawarerumono 2 #20 — How to Not Animate
Way to fail to give it the ol' college try! Impressions: So, they reached the battlefield. It's finally time for it to show that same twitch of life that it did back around the start of this season,...
View ArticleUtawarerumono 2 #19 — In The Navy
Oh good. An entire episode about an uneventful trip from point A to point B. Impressions: Time to leave to go off to fight the war of Whoever vs Whatever, right? Wrong! It's time to go to the beach...
View ArticleUtawarerumono 2 #18 — Check Out These Feet
Yes, that was the most notable thing about this episode. Impressions: Another basically budgetless episode that spent all its effort on shenanigans, and barely had any effort for that. And yet, it...

Somehow it was even more boring than I feared. Impressions: Anybody familiar with the original series knew this was coming, but good christ, did they do their best to make it as boring as goddamned...
View ArticleUtawarerumono 2 #16 — So Many Penises
So very many penises. Impressions: Seems that we're right back into padding and filler territory, and with them returns the rain of dicks. Haku spends the entire episode sulking in his tent while...
View ArticleUtawarerumono 2 #15 — Obligatory Giant Monster
Nice of the protagonists to bother showing up this week. Impressions: Right back to being a mess, but at least it's not quite to entire episodes about taking baths and reading softcore porn. If not...
View ArticleUtawarerumono 2 #14 — Lord of the Bush
Because this show hasn't been enough about Haku getting bogged down in bush yet. Edit: I did turn on BBK/BRNK, the all CGI action thingy, and let it run while I was photoshopping multitudes of...

Go forward by doing nothing. For the interested, Luck and Logic's first half of the first episode (maybe, since sometimes they chop things up weirdly for pre-airs) came out yesterday. I guess I sort...
View ArticleUtawarerumono 2 #12 — Here’s Some More Garbage For the Harem
Oh boy! Another 'wacky' fanservice episode! No episode next week due to holidays. At least for the Saturday broadcast, although I expect all the others to follow suit. Impressions: This episode...

I hope every one of them gets eaten by slime. Impressions: The thought had crossed my mind briefly that last week's completely empty preview might be them playing coy about something happening in...
View ArticleUtawarerumono 2 #10 — Here’s Some More Man on Man Porn
What was this episode even supposed to be for? Semi-Impressions: Let's just start and end with whether or not this episode advances anything or whether it's another episode about princesses having...
View ArticleUtawarerumono 2 #09 — But Moooooooom, Part Two
Four down, four left to account for… that I can recall… and not counting all the males. Impressions: Yup. One needs look no further than the preponderance of female flesh tossed up to see that we're...
View ArticleUtawarerumono 2 #08 — Dischordancy
Well, at least massive tonal problems are different from another goddamned episode of baths. Impressions: So… they're infiltrating some corrupt guy's ship while he holds a party for other opulent...
View ArticleUtawarerumono 2 #07 — Have Yet Another Goddamned Princess
…Still on Namek. Impressions: Instead of a bath, this began with the two obnoxious hanger-on princesses visiting a bookstore for yaoi. It was then stolen by yet another girl with an unusual speaking...
View ArticleUtawarerumono 2 #06 — And Now, More Baths
But this time, with a different kind of fanservice! Also, still the usual kind. Impressions: So, Utawarerumono, are we going to be doing something at any point in the future, or is the rest of your...
