The only word to describe the first half of this episode is “interesting”. Aria-shachou ends up in a parallel universe where everyone’s gender is the opposite. I personally didn’t think this was one of the series’ better episodes, but I still had fun watching it nonetheless. This is one of the rare chances we get to hear the seiyuu’s try to change the gender of their characters. That in itself makes it worthwhile regardless of how good the episode is. My biggest issue with this episode was the subpar quality of the art. They weren’t able to maintain the series’ usual high standard. As for the second half of this episode, I felt it was better than the first half. We get another look into Akatsuki’s silly childhood. Although Akatsuki’s mother wasn’t in it much, I thought she had potential to be a pretty good character. At this point in the series I kind of doubt we’ll get to see her again though.
