Put me in the "Amused, but let's see if they can sustain their level of random humor through another four episodes" category.
I mean, I've had plenty of experience with this sort of stuff in the Western (and some Eastern) sense, and it's probably gone about 50/50 love/hate. |

After having seen episode 1, I knew better what to expect for episode 2. The "what the?" factor was gone, but other than that, everything else was just as zany fun. I liked the second story slightly better than the first. The mother and daughter were more fun than the rival detective with the Inaba obsession who annoyed me a little.
Normally this doesn't happen, but I have trouble keeping up with the pace of the subtitles at times. The dialogue is very rapid fire. The print comes and goes so quickly, I didn't have time to see what was happening on screen because I was always focused on the text. I probably missed some of the sight gags as a result. I had this problem with episode 1, but it seemed worse with episode 2.

I didn't like the first half very much, probably because none of the mini-gags from the "historical game" were all that funny on their own. The second half was a lot of fun though, and I finally have some context for the "toddler with a chainsaw" picture that I saw in the show's promotional material.
Azusa is like an entire show's premise in herself. |

I also felt a deep sympathy toward Ogata, I mean he's pretty much acting out what is on my mind every time I see a dog or a cat. Last edited by kuromitsu; 2013-01-13 at 17:40. |
