Fourze 38 was an absolutely awful episode. It tried to be all melodramatic but it just fell completely flat. Who the fuck cares if Elleen was defeated in battle? She was a selfish, shallow bitch until about one minute of screentime before she "died", I hate when shows assume that melodrama is a worthy substitute for actual depth and assume it means they don't actually have to spend the time making us care.

It was completely superfluous any way, as Gen did some ridiculous dramatic look at the sky while the rain poured on him you'd assume she died or something but all that happened is Virgo took away her memories of the event and sent her on her way. Why the last two haven't been sent to the Dark Nebula is any ones guess. The show felt like it had become a little tired and stuck in its way at times but now it's starting to feel like the show has just given up.

Gen is actually starting to annoy me as well, his sentimental attitude has become completely flat also. It used to be about something, it used to have actual depth, now he seems to be dissolving into another perfect protagonist unphased by anything good at everything and I just find that really boring. Especially as I'm watching this alongside OOO which gives the core trio (not including Ankh) lots of depth and interesting character turns and arcs.

I swear the two shows are forever destined to move in opposite directions, whenever OOO starts getting better Fourze goes downhill. If we're generalising I loved Fourze's first third but I haven't really enjoyed much since, apart from standalone bits on and off and I hated OOO's first half but have for the most part been loving it since Date was introduced.

Also what is Leo like in love with the chairman or something?
