Why are we in a quarry?
Impressions:
Oh, thank you. We’re finally doing the plan that we should have done five minutes ago… last episode. No, don’t then announce it and explain it. Why are we recapping it a second time with an even longer explanation!? Stop! Stop this now, you imbeciles! Other thing I also enjoyed about this episode was how many times characters announced that if the baddies did one more thing, then they’d punish them for it, like the baddies hadn’t just unconvincingly claimed to have killed five kids, or were threatening to do so literally moment before. That’s not enough of a reason? You’re gonna let them go if they say “Oh, man, sorry. My bad.” You know, if you had, you might’ve actually killed them, or at least had some hostages instead of the nothing you ended up with. I guess we’re also just skipping over how she said she’d explain it all to them later, or even checking in with them at all to make sure they’re okay? Or that they know she’s okay? Everyone evaporated into thin air.
And then we switch gears entirely and go on a field trip with the principal to blow up some ugly-ass CGI rock dogs. This segment lasts about five minutes, and is to get her a special little ribbon. Why did they even drag her along in the first place? Also, why was this a problem at all if this super precious magic metal was so valuable and it was so quick and effortless for them to resolve? They were all too busy at the training camp? The training camp where they were getting drunk and going in hot springs? Your magic school needs to reasses its priorities. And yet, for all this, apparently the last episode of the season next week is a flashback episode about Claude and the evil girl. Sure. Why not.
