Cheerleaders, dungeon and freelance


Potato-kun’s Dungeon Chibis, episode 4

I think it’s important to note that when Our Exhausted Potato tripped and fell onto Our Hot Naginata Gal and friends, he did not touch boob. Not with his head or his hands. It doesn’t even qualify as a meet-cute, because when they get teamed up for the dungeon-crawl event, he doesn’t even remember them. Now, how he’ll handle bringing out the chibis in front of strangers, with other parties all exploring the same floor, is a question for next week.

Meanwhile, he’s lied himself into a corner with Our Gullible Crush-chan, committing himself to what he fails to realize is a date.

Verdict: honestly, the worst thing about this show is believing that Crush-chan is actually falling for the stories he makes up to convince her that he’s not visiting the dungeon. It would be refreshing if she were to reveal that she’s not completely fooled.

Pom-Pom Girls, episode 3

Apart from Parkour-chan’s casual relationship with gravity, the least-believable thing about this show is that Our Smoochy Brazilian Blonde Bombshell’s youtube channel wasn’t getting any views. She must have had the camera pointed the wrong way.

Speaking of Parkour-chan, we learn that her emotionless face hides a social-anxiety complex that differs from Komi only in that when she does speak in complete sentences, it always comes out brutally honest.

Her awkward relationship with Our Fairy Princess turns out to be composed of mutually embarrassing mutual admiration, in an I-can’t-believe-it’s-not-yuri way. In other news, Our Genki Gal’s worrying and untreatable PTSD was basically cheered away, and the episode ends with the gals practicing their new routine to a new song. By the way, they hired a professional cheer school for the show, and it shows.

Verdict: they’re doing a good job of developing the girls, but the only real setbacks were just demolished this week. PTSD? Gone! Bad singing? Gone! Parkour Gal’s reluctance? Gone! Hell, at this rate, Wheels will be back on her feet and join the squad in time for the last episode.
