There is so much wrong with this episode that I don't know where to start. This series has drifted so far from the source material that it's becoming parody. This episode was a particular low light, safe to say it was absolute tripe.

HAD to because of one line...

Sometimes I really wonder who writes these things and who hires the people that do the writing? is there soo much writing to be done that simple dumbness slips through the cracks? or is it that they really don't know? or don't care?
ok so the one line...and mind you an Asian guy says the line (whether he was actually Japanese I do not know). so the main characters make some comment which wasn't even memorable and the Asian guy responds with the line "you READ too much anime"......uh really? that'd be manga dude/dudet if it was being read unless it's anime that is subbed which assumes the reader is English (which they are according to who he was responding to), can't speak Japanese, and actually watched a subbed version. way too many assumptions for a simple line which again if going with simplicity and assumptions if you use the term reading that implies manga NOT anime. anime is WATCHED in simplistic terms. something most kids would know yet the writer (or writers) were clueless about. BTW, that made the Asian guy sound dumb. he didn't comment snidely and most importantly, correctly, on his own supposed culture. SMH part of me wonders if he tried to correct anyone and was told it didn't matter.
it DID. I for one noticed it and it's the main thing I remember about the episode. the Flash dance actress secondly. didn't even bother me I couldn't place the other main actress where I've seen her before (which usually would).
