Utawarerumono OVA #01 — Gratuitous
I almost went with "Gratuitits." Impressions: Well, this was extremely disappointing. Taking the production away from Oriental Lights and Magic did not turn out for the best here. If all you want to...

Utawarerumono OVA #02 — The Stuff of Nightmares
Great. Now I won’t be able to sleep for a week. Impressions: When last we checked in with the cast of Days of Our Lives, DA GUV’MENT STOLE URUTORII’S BABY and the balance of that episode was the...

Utawarerumono OVA #03 — Survivor Woman
Oboro, you are a huge ass. Impressions: Today’s a good day for OVAs. After the rather lackluster first couple OVAs for Utawarerumono, this one was great. Touka and Aruruu got lost in the forest and...

Utawarerumono 2 #01 — Burritos 101
Please. Bore me more with tales of your native foodstuffs. Impressions: The highlight of this episode will no doubt be the bit where he grabs her tail, because the audience is harp seals. So clap....

Utawarerumono 2 #02 — Stealth Giant Centipede
I like how it only starts chittering after it made its entrance. Impressions: The tone of this episode was a complete disaster. Empty space, to comic relief, to sudden decapitation, back to more...

Utawarerumono 2 #03 — So How About That Soup and Burritos?
That's what the noxious cloud actually was. If you're wondering how Valkyrie Drive's second episode went, some random girl literally whipped them apart to start, then the bottom in the relationship...

Utawarerumono 2 #04 — Wet Bath Towel
Enthralling from start to finish. Impressions: Let's see… They ate, they took a bath, they worked at a cafe, they did some paperwork, and they took another bath. Talk about a roller coaster ride...

Utawarerumono 2 #05 — Date Episode
I miss the casual grisly murder of random villagers now. Reminder, Daylight savings ends in the US tonight, which means that everything will be airing an hour earlier, relatively speaking. The only...

Utawarerumono 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...

Utawarerumono 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...

Utawarerumono 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...

Utawarerumono 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...

Utawarerumono 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...

Utawarerumono 2 #11 — Shenanigans Part 8
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...

Utawarerumono 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...

Utawarerumono 2 #13 — Reboot
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...

Utawarerumono 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...

Utawarerumono 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...

Utawarerumono 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...

Utawarerumono 2 #17 — Obligatory Post Apocalyptic Nonsense
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...
