And her opponent is just a “People of the Land,” whom the series has been putting down as “will never measure up to adventurers” since the first episode of Season One. I mean, it’s just sad that the Captain of a Brigade is taken down in one second without even putting a fight. It’d be awesome if they were a bunch of kickass girls, but for all their high levels in the game, it seems only Soujirou can pull off the moves in this guild. For being a sizable combat guild, West Wind Brigade doesn’t seem to have any substance beyond being Soujirou’s harem. Frankly, I’m not impressed by either the West Wind Brigade or this villain. Katana-thieving Villain Finally Strikes with a bang as he one-hit kills Miss Captain of the Second Brigade. This almost made me feel sorry for Akatsuki, being the target of the “you poor dear” Grandma-style pity (*cough* Henrietta *cough*). Good god, people, you live in a video game!!! Can your lives get any more dull? Also, why is the stereotype “the man go to war while the women mind the home” still true here?! The women are either longing after Shiroe (raiding) or Krusty (massacring goblins) and everyone, since they have nothing better to do with their lives, develops their own pet theory on why Akatsuki has become such a sourpuss. A group of women dropping by for tea, gossip, and girl-talk…. But since she didn’t come to Akihabara until the Apocalypse happened in Elder Tale, was Watermaple House built by the adventurers and became a game zone or was it already there but simply repurposed to become the Princess’ residence? Just something I’m curious about, let me know if you have an answer… Watermaple House. So apparently, Lenessia lives in Watermaple House in Akihabara. The Party Never Stops in Akihabara should be the new motto of the town, just like “The Sun Never Sets on the British Empire.” The Brits have their navy and the adventurers have their parties! And fan service! (Never forget the fan service.) What do chicken and cake have to do with Christmas, you ask? Well, dun dun dun …. I supposed I should be excited that Shiroe has some deep plot to take over the world through flavor text or that stereotypical big bad wolf villain finally did something other than appear dramatically for two seconds…buuut, I think watching Akatsuki has eroded my own self-esteem and I need a few seconds. I am not sure how I feel about this episode because there are just too many mixed messages flung around, and the only thing flowing continuously through Episode 3 seems to be Akatsuki’s depression, which is just sad.

Overall. While Episode 3 was about getting stuff done, Episode 4 was an exhibit of horrors: the horrors of what can happen when too many girls are together for too long, the horrors of too many characters musing about romance, the horrors of Studio Deen’s truly atrocious art, etc. Episode 4 is a couple days late due to weekend traveling, sorry folks…
