Antagonists this season are having some issues. Impressions: I had to look up these idiots because I have zero memory of them whatsoever. Turns out they’re the protagonists from the actual game, and were bit players way back in episode 9 where they did a similar thing of plugging Noir into a gizmo for …
High Card #17 — Rich People Problems
Oh boy. This jerk. Impressions: Welp, it’s an episode focused on the rich dude, and it doesn’t develop or redeem him in any way at all, and definitely doesn’t advance the story at all. Rich brat is generically sort of sullen over daddy and haunted by nightmares of him, befriends poor kid at Rich Kid U, …
Kaiba – Episode 12

Kyuujitsu no Warumono-san – 05
I’ve come to the unsettling conclusion that apart from the panda fetish (and the world domination gig) Warumono-san and I are basically the same guy. Seriously – he has all my hangups, all my obsessions. He sentimentalizes everything, even trash. He loves cats and tries to communicate with them. He obsesses over the small pleasures …
