Episode 8: Waiting Date Times

The comedy in this episode was top notch.

Turns out that Rookie literally punched the memory out of I-DOLL, thus resulting in her new look.

Thus our heroes come up a brilliant plan: Everyone should go out with her on dates! It's just to help her get her memory back and totally not for any personal gain! It's just some fun!

And what fun it is, because the dates take up 96% of the episode and every single hero's' idea of what constitutes an ideal date is absolutely hilarious. KitaQman sitting back and doing social media, El Brave wanting rocks thrown at him, Yamashiron giving a company tour; All the character humor was on point!

While it's not explicitly stated outright as to the exact nature of it, it's also made clear that I-DOLL IS connected to both Yuki and Jiro somehow. And while I could see the slight delay on direct answers annoying some, I think it's overall fine here since the plot is still moving forward, and this episode's' fantastic comedic beats really help to make it a nice breather episode.

So yeah, I rather liked this one. Can't wait to see where this is all headed!
