Why do they always feel the need to turn a perfectly good gag series into something with a plot? Can you give me an answer Excel?
What? Episode 24?
Hi, it was inevitable that I'd return, to spit some of my venomous phlegm and complain, despite my assurances to the contrary - true dorks never leave, after all.
So, Excel's sudden switch into gagless romantic romp was the crowning moment of ridiculousness in the show. I can't fathom how could it be ever considered a move aimed at, I don't know, "saving the show by introducing plot"? The whole lenght of ES is filled with constant parodying of everything Anime is, how could anyone not treat the "plot" as another, gloriously deadpan joke?
Each second of that episode(wasn't it two eps? I honestly don't remember) when they
did not crack any idiotic gag, was so ridiculously, jarringly in contrast with the rest of it, that I couldn't stop laughing and grinning - I couldn't believe that they were actually pulling this off.
I kept expecting a return to it's old self any minute now, and when it finally did, I was so positively exhausted from laughing that I had to put off watching the rest of the show.
And then, of course, with the inevitability of a swinging pendulum, they took the last episode to the opposite extreme, going totally overboard with terribly crude jokes.
How could anybody not notice the relevance? You just missed the best joke in the series.
