Senyu Episode 23
What They Say:
Long ago, there lived an evil being who reigned over the world through fear, called Satan Rchimedes. He invaded the human world with his many demon underlings, spreading madness and chaos everywhere. One thousand years ago, this menace was sealed by the hero Creation, and peace returned to the world.
The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
Bringing everyone back together for the most part is definitely a requirement at this point sa the gang, when like this, is just hilarious to see. Of course, coming together means a whole lot of chaos and that’s not something Dezember can use to his advantage, especially now that Ros is back and fully geared up. Of course, poor Alba hasn’t a clue what’s going on and Ros gets to mess with him about his being a criminal now and the whole clothes stripping of little girls things too. Still, Dezember is intent on winning here even in the midst of various comedy routines and he does his best to play the straight man in all of the chaos. And he does get pretty serious, leading to one of those cliffhanger moments that really does make you laugh, if you’re properly twisted, because you know there’s a gimmick coming.
In Summary:
Having the gang back together after quite a few episodes apart, which even the narrator notes, is definitely for the best here. Just the banter between Ros and Alba is something that works beautifully since there are so many little quirky moments that get to be called out between them. There’s a lot going on here, and very little as well, but the end result is that we have the big part of the season coming to a head with a fair bit of drama, a healthy dose of silliness and a whole lot of fun in general.
