Oh boy, this was hilarious… Rito at the front lines of the Deviluke forces was brilliant even if it wasn’t for real, and Zastin calling out to his mangled body, his destroyed ship and such. Zastin is always a laugh any time he is on the screen. This show needs more Zastin (and Mikan)!!!

Strangely enough, there was little fan service for the majority of the episode, I was almost thrown off if not for the little bit at the beginning and the intense eechi-filled ending with the tentacles… 

Lala is really growing on me and the situations she puts Rito into makes me jealous sometimes. This time however, not… her cooking freaking sent him near enough to the afterlife, and started attacking him as he tried to come back to life… Some people can’t seem to get a break. And yet at times, they get all the luck… orz

And now the horror of the episode, with the CG monstrosities with the tentacles and the groping and the violation of Lala, Haruna (and Rito somewhat). The ending scared me, not just because of the tentacles but because of the CGI on 2D action… man that freaked me out. 

The episode was enjoyable all over though and as with every week, I’ll probably enjoy it more when I get to understand all of the dialogue later in the week. Let’s hope the use of CGI is toned down because this show was near perfect without it…
