The episode's pacing feels a bit sluggish because there is too much political and military exposition being crammed into the 24-minute runtime. As a result, the fresh humor and absurdist meta-jokes that are usually the series' main strength and appeal feel bland and drowned out by a plot ambition that wants to look grand. For viewers who love this anime purely for its slapstick entertainment and cultural madness, this episode will feel a bit dry and boring.
