This season is killing me.
Impressions:
I’m still baffled that this is a three episode arc, apparently going to the end, which is next week at an abbreviated 10 episodes. After all the casual street murders, chases in broad daylight, blowing random ax terrorists heads off in the street, and running tanks through downtown, assassinating some criminal rando on a yacht is the huge crisis that forces Kusanagi onto the lam… but not even that. First we must have meetings, and briefings, and court arguments… where she rants like a lunatic about being a garbage collector purging the unclean. Yeah, that’s reassuring.
Even the bombing in the episode started and ended with a long explanation of who they were going to meet and why, and then recapped that. Along the way, plenty of super silly faces were made, and the explosion itself was highlighted with a bird having all its feathers comically blown off. What tone are we going for here exactly? Anyway, time for more meetings. We haven’t run out of fat old men to dryly discuss the situation yet.
