Twin Angel 5 - I'd been underestimating this series! I've said it was bad... but yeah, that's being much too kind. This show is just stupid, boring and stupid. Much more like THIS tedious, dull episode and even I won't keep watching this thing...
(Warning - some minor spoilers, for the zero people who care. This show's plot is awful anyway.)
Um, as for the plot, about 90% of this episode is about the teacher. She gets pulled into being the new villain, since useless girl from eps 1-3 is apparently gone (she was dropped through a trapdoor in ep. 3, along with that guy who helps her and they haven't been seen since, though given that they are in the OP I imagine they might reappear sometime...). She needs money you see, so she applies for a part-time job as a secretary for a company with a really sketchy name (Black somethingorother) and job requirements, and a high salary too. It doesn't set off any warning bells for her apparently. So, most of this episode is about her dreaming about how the guy actually likes her and her delusions about what she thinks his motivations are (ie, not the surely evil ones they must be, though we haven't learned them yet). He convinces her to start working for him collecting the seven jewel whatevers with almost no difficulty, as she's blinded by how much she likes him apparently. Then there's a short fight scene at the end, the end.
I guess they were trying to have the episode be dramatic or something like that, but no, it doesn't work. TYhe first problem of course is that the main characters are barely in this episode, and instead a boring side character is the lead. Not a good start, for a show with main characters who are plenty enough lame on their own... this teacher though is just a moron, and the whole episode is really boring. Almost nothing happens and it's all dragged out with boring attempts at "drama". Whether they were trying to make it actually serious, or whether they were going for a comic style and were mocking shows actually like that, it doesn't matter; either way, it fails. This is probably my least favorite episode of this show yet.
Overall... I know it's repeating myself, but this show is awful. Don't watch it unless you like suffering.
