Escaflowne Corner, Episode 19

Hmm okay, so now an entire country and its maniacal mad-scientist king are obsessed with whether a young lady will fall for a hotshot pilot.  That’s the premise here.

And it’s dumb as rocks.  Sorry, but this is the corny love-triangle zero-confidence Hitomi of the second episode, and it’s a serious letdown. Just one episode ago it looked like she had really changed.

Now the plot takes over, enabled by fantasy woo nonsense with vague rules dressed up in the clothing of B-movie sci-fi gizmos and lightning bolts. It’s the “fate alteration ceremony”, and it’s just as stupid as the name implies: Van’s pointlessly evil brother and one of his wack sexy catwomen perform a choreographed dance that somehow makes Hitomi and Allen do the same thing hundreds of miles away. That thing? They meet on a bridge and smooch. And since Hitomi has gone and done something physical with Allen – a peck on the lips, oh horrors – they are now supposed to be in love and the fate of the whole world will pivot to some different future where the evil empire is triumphant because Hitomi is going to abandon Van, who will die in the war.

I honestly didn’t even want to watch it, I was so exasperated.  Unbelievably stupid.  Like, “throw vegetables at the screen” stupid. I was yelling out loud, “Who wrote this crap? Who had the actual nerve, to write something this stupid?”
