What was the imp dude’s plan exactly?
Impressions:
The terrible writing will continue, I guess. The first third of the episode seemed to be dedicated to reminding you that Eve exists, through a series of what would scream AI generated scam tik toks, then out of nowhere, they go to a dream circus, because that’s a thing that they do, apparently, where Eve’s backstory is dumped out in essentially a one minute flashback which is the same as every one of these; that she used to be unattractive and bullied. But he tells her to do her best, and so she gets a hammer and blows up the circus, which is a thing you do with hammers. The funniest part of all this is that he sees his crush in the flashback show, reacts because he recognizes them, and then is shocked when it turns out to be the person he expected it to be. Well, and also that the evil imp dude would go out of his way to grab a bunch of do-gooders who do nothing but fight nightmare people to his nightmare circus. Put a lot of thought into this plan, did you?
So you’d expect the rest of the episode to be focused on introducing her to the dream world or something, right? Nah. That all gets off-screened and then they go to another party, get drunk, and within thirty seconds of being shoved onto a porch together, he and his crush are trading spit. We just spent three weeks doing dumb contrived nonsense to will-they won’t-they, just to jump straight to what in anime is normally reserved for the third year of marriage. I mean, good? But also, what was the point of all the dumb crap before then?
