Oh.
My.
Fuck.
This episode was so much bullshit.
But first, the good. Team Hormondue!
Greatest part of the episode! The CenterNezumi stuff was good too. Predictable but in a good way.(Epic Mayu tongue is epic
) Although Mayu's twitchy eyebrows got me again on the roof.
Her expressions are getting damn good, but then I just can't help myself when she starts wriggling the brows.
But the rest of the episode was BULL. SHIT.
Every scene with Gekikara in it was too painful to watch. I had to skim through them. Her entire storyline this season is based on her one moment of crying during Yuko's graduation in season one, which was massively wrong in the first place, and cheapened her character so so much. The Gekikara-Amakuchi thing was believable with a little stretching of the imagination, but all of this BULLSHIT with her being all rational and weepy and talking philosophical and shit is so not her and is a desecration of the Gekikara character.
The return of Sado and Torigoya almost worked but Sado's character was also pretty much massacred. Where's the intensity? The tempered passion? Why is she all amiable and shit now? Fuck that, she should still be a badass!
New school? FUCK THAT SHIT.
Not quite bullshit, but Nezumi's motivations at this point are slightly weird, too. I'd assume she wants to take over Majijo. Her plan in season 1 as well as the start of season 2 was to cause chaos in MajiGaku, so that she could take control of the leftovers using Center as her muscle. At this point though, it seems like she wants Yabakune to take over and she's slowly stealing Yabakune out from under Shibuya. Except, you know, she's still a MajiGaku student? Why are the Yabakune girls so quick to accept her leadership? Did she beat Habu up behind the scenes or were they impressed enough by her catching Shibuya's punch way back when?
Oh, and clearly TakaDeka doesn't give a shit about Maeda because it's Nami and she already has a famous idol girlfriend Ray, she don't need no juvenile delinquent girlfriend! (Although what with HanaKimi2, maybe she'll be her type after all
)
All hail Team Hormondue!
