Episode 22: The Illusionary Buried Treasure!

Incredibly unfunny.

Do I really gotta say any more than that? It's an episode whose entire premise is built upon two running gags that I never found funny, resulting in more unfunny.

If you want the actual plot, it's that Rui's' tiresome running gag of spending way too much money(seriously, she should've long since learned her lesson by now), puts Akira in debt and under threat of being sued by the bank.

However, lucky for him, his next case involves the buried treasure of some rich old guy. So the plan is to go undercover and try to get the dying old man to tell them where the treasure is buried. What results is very unfunny Entitled Old Man jokes and a wild goose chase of fake buried treasures.

It'd be one thing if the ridiculousness of the scenario were on par with previous episodes, or if the character humor were executed really well, but I'll be honest, I only ever got one decent laugh out of the whole thing(and it's thanks to Akira's' on point selfishness), and that's really bad for what is very blatantly meant to be a comedy focused episode.

Changerion has really been losing steam with these last few episodes, and I'm really hoping that Inoue either amps up the crazy or the character development sometime soon, given how much I'd been enjoying things up until the most recent string of episodes.
