"Mr. President, WATCH OUT!"

The comedy in this episode was superb. It also had perfect English, and not Engrish, and that was a pleasant surprise.


That being said, it had some elements I didn't like. The brief Shouma/Ringo conversation seemed really weird to me. It gave me the feeling of...

MPD Penguin Exec 1: "Guys, what the heck are we going to do with Shouma and Ringo in this episode? We can't have them not show up at all, they're major protagonists!"

MPD Penguin Exec 2: "Let's make them have a brief conversation where they clearly state to the audience what their role in the anime will be here on out."

MPD Penguin Exec 3: "Brilliant! It's so electrifying!"


So instead of feeling like a believable conversation between two people, it rather came across as both breaking the fourth wall to inform the audience what their roles in the anime will be from now on. I almost would rather they simply gave the two characters the week off.


Still, a very fun episode. 8/10 overall.
