[FreshToku]

I've got a weird feeling I can't shake off about this show all of a sudden. For a long time since early on, I've really been enjoying the wild ride of Donbrothers, and on top of the whackiness, my favourite parts have always been seeing the characters' giant personalities bounce off one another.

But now three quarters of a year in, I think the shine of it has kinda been wearing off on me... Every time they actually confront the 'plot' itself, its been a little lackluster for me because it's been 50/50 on whether or not it'll actually matter in the long run. The amusing contrivances of the characters being so disconnected from one another's ongoing stories doesn't really tickle me anymore because I really want them to interact with one another in a meaningful way. Also I used to think it was really funny how utterly inconsequential and shoehorned in the Hitosuki and the fight/mecha scenes with them are, but now I'm just a little bitter at how they're blatant time-wasting distractions...

I guess in sum, I'm sadly at the stage where the rambunctiousness and whackiness of the show has gotten a bit stale for me? And I'm hoping the rest of the run provides at least a decent amount of like, pathos or character moments! (It's an Inoue show so I'm already accepting in advance that the resolutions of the ongoing plots will all be a whole lot of nothing)
