Wow, the line delivery this episode was all sorts of horrible.(ITANO...)
Mayu's expressions were pretty damn epic though. I love all of the consistent facial tics she had to set her character apart. Other than the waggling eyebrows
, which thankfully weren't strong enough this ep to derail my
tolerance for bad actingsuspension of disbelief. What did derail it was the horrible pacing of the confession scene. For example, Center's initial crying was pretty powerful. And then it went on. And on. Until it broke both of their characters and I couldn't buy it anymore. Plus the line deliveries were awkward as mentioned before. These two were still just about the only good storyline for MG2 though.
Confrontation between Maeda and Shibuya also broke character for Shibuya, who took, like, 10 levels in maturity between episodes. Must have stolen them from not!Gekikara at the hospital. That place must be a black hole the destroys the badassness of anyone who isn't Yuko. And fuck, the ShibuyaxDance this ep was just damn pathetic, too. I want my disturbing implications pairing cuteness back!
Oh yeah, and this wasn't just me, right?
