I can understand people saying this for the first two episodes, though the lightning was not overused at all in the third episode. It could have been as we seen in the second episode, though it wasn't at all.

So, I made the mistake of watching the OVA. Now, it's pretty obvious the TV show is the OVA spread out over many episodes with much filler in-between his fights as he searches for the "strongest one".
It was an entertaining OVA, but as a tv show, the crying-as-a-joke stops being funny really, really fast. |

The lightning wasn't exactly overused in the third episode, but coming off the tail of episode 2 it should been intentionally underused to balance it out until it's funny again. It's not even really a joke anymore, it's just something that happens in between jokes. And that's a bad thing. I know seeing it happen twice early on in the episode was enough to ruin my mood.

Basically its a very lazy form of humor (slapstick) that isn't even being used in varying ways. They're telling the same simple joke over and over again with no twists just to fill up time. It doesn't give me a very good impression of the skill of the writers. While the series is very capable of being clever and funny, filling in all the other moments with pointless timekilling just drags the whole thing down.

Episode 3 really din't have that much elements with it then the previous one. But it came out in the end Especially with what klare said about the big guy and Furuichi the house scene similar to Tatsumi's scene with Hildegarde.
