Last night we had Indian take-out of butter chicken, and sitting down to eat it I discovered that it was once more time to watch some Absolute Duo as the two appear to be inextricably entwined. We finished episode 9 and are now into episode 10 and I am both delighted and impressed with the show's utter determination to just do whatever it feels like doing without worrying about such details as 'there are only a few episodes left, perhaps we should be wrapping up our existing plot threads rather than introducing a whole new set of them?' NONSENSE says Absolute Duo, why not add a new antagonist group? And have one of the supporting characters make a sudden sharp swerve in her seeming character arc into perhaps joining said group? And oh, by the way, we are running out of animation budget, so our teaser for the next episode will have the characters sketchily drawn and standing almost still as they deliver their doom-laden dialogue. Don't ever change, Absolute Duo! Please continue delivering utter nonsense with a thread of fascinating ideas that would make for perfect fanfic right through to the very end!
(Well, all right, it could change, it could get rid of the fanservice and fill those extra minutes with more of the guy with glasses who I know nothing about and the various Duo relationships, but at this point I am just here for the ride to the end.)
I predict we will finish sometime in July, if the butter chicken schedule does not change, and then what will we watch? Our resident teenage boy likes .hack//SIGN fairly well (as do I), but it is a much more reasonable show, slowly paced and with time to develop its ideas, rather than the over-the-top madhouse of AD, so perhaps it will not fit into the same slot? And meanwhile there are eighty other things people wish to be watching, but the butter chicken timeslot is clearly spoken for, so I am curious to see what he will pick next.
