All the anus shots were absolutely necessary.
Impressions:
First off, I’m pretty disappointed that Tora’s story, and indeed an entire alternate animation style, is relegated to just being the tagline to Nice1’s arc. They also assume that you’ve seen the original TBH:X PV because they reference it and instead of, you know, getting to enjoy it again with full context, skip over and past it, which is a profoundly bizarre decision. I assume it’ll be ‘fixed’ in the DVD version, but come on. We’re mostly streaming here. Just make the episode run five minutes longer for the streams.
The dog’s story itself was fairly good as a generic origin story, certainly better than most, but there was a lot of dissonance between the level of violence and the silly music and animation style. That it was all just leading up to Nice1 getting some Fear splashed on him as what drove him to kill himself also made no sense since he’s been around the stuff nonstop and pretty sure he even had it vomited all over him as well, in addition to all the other problems with him in general for this entire arc. The dog deserved better than to be this dude’s footnote.
