Is The Order A Rabbit??/Gochumon Wa Usagi Desu Ka?? (Season 2) Episode 4.
Another pretty good episode, maybe needed more Syaro. I did like the bits with Blue Mountain Aoyama, maybe she's not normal but it's in a good way I'd say.
The next episode should be interesting, especially finding out exactly what the new character is like.
Mr. Osomatsu/Osomatsu-san Episode 4.
I thought I'd commented on this one but apparently not. It was a pretty good episode, I think I prefer when they focus on a couple of larger stories instead of the more sketch based format.
I do like that they're developing the main characters a bit, although it feels like the side characters are being a bit left behind and exist more to fill the requirements of the story/joke than be characters in their own right.
Tantei Team KZ Jiken Note Episode 4.
So they decided to end the case in one of the worst ways I can think of. At this point, I don't think the show has been self-aware at all and it's gotten a bit too stupid as well. I could forgive a lot of what it's done before but this episode basically undermines anything that had potential in the show, even the life lessons and friendship stuff is kind of undermined by failing to point out that most of what the kids get up to in this episode is a terrible idea.
I can't say I was expecting a lot but it's a shame to see things go this way. I think the biggest problem is that the show doesn't seem to have a strong enough fantasy element to justify what it wants to do but doesn't seem willing to be realistic either, it kind of ends up with the worst of both worlds.
I don't know if I'll bother watching any more, it's not a huge investment of time but that end was fairly disappointing and I can't see it getting a lot better.
Anime De Training! Ex Episode 3.
I'm still watching this (though I'm behind now, I think), I'm still not sure why. It's kind of an interesting tour of character archetypes, with occasional education on how to carry out certain exercises. This episode felt a bit weaker than the other two, which is probably more of a comment on the kind of characters I like than the show itself.
