First of all Happy Holidays, and Merry Christmas. This week’s episode of Happiness Charge was a Christmas theme, where the girls along with Seiji hung around together for Christmas, until Red attacked Seiji and turned him into another one of his pawns thanks to the Red Star of Despair. This episode wounded up to serve merely as a teaser, which I am sure made many of us scream and pull our hair in frustration as we find ourselves forced to wait another week to see Dark!Seiji in action! DAMNIT!
After last week’s preview, I was hoping that Red was going to snatch Seiji early on, but much to my dismay it was left until the very last minute and ended up serving as the cliffhanger for this week’s episode. It is a bit frustrating because here I was sitting at the edge of my seat thinking to myself, “When is Red going to attack Seiji?!” only to have to wait an entire week all over again to see Seiji VS Happiness Charge.
And that really blows.
So as result of that disappointment I found this episode to be relatively dull, but the sweet and precious moments that Seiji and Megumi shared together were without a doubt the better moments.
Since we are forced to wait another week, I am crossing my fingers that Seiji won’t be saved within the next episode or two. It is too good of an event to wrap up in just one episode and would probably be difficult to continue building hype when this scenario has finally become a reality.
To be honest, I found this week’s episode to be clumsy. The animation, the effects… It was a complete mess (the trembling/shaking camera effect looked cheap and sloppy). Today’s animation of the fight was probably the most underwhelming and laziest I have seen out of all the fights- but, because it was more to merely serve as a simple device to allow the Red Terribad to serve its as a powerful decoy, I will certainly cut them some slack, especially since they have been consistently taking the animation quality up a notch.
Final Word: DARK!SEIJI IS HOT, RED IS NOT!
(LIKE REALLY RED, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING, YOU LOOK SO LAME IN THAT OUTFIT! PUT YOUR SWEATER BACK ON!)
Oh yeah and Blue, what the fuck is wrong with you. The girls asked you earlier if there were any other possible culprits and you’re like, “NOPE, CAN’T THINK OF ANYONE! GO OUT AND PLAY!” and gee, it turns out you DO KNOW OF SOMEONE. *MAJOR EYE ROLL*
