Tsurune: Kazemai High School Japanese Archery Club - Dangerous Shoot

This is the equivalent to a gag episode. I don't think Tsurune has created a cast of characters that is quite unique and entertaining enough to hold up an episode that's entirely meant for being a senseless comedy episode. If you really love these characters, then you'll probably like this episode more than I did (I do love these characters, but I'm not obsessed with them or Tsurune--I just think this anime was fun and relaxing to watch); in truth, if characters have been created that are obsession-worthy, if you will, the viewer will watch them do anything. Tsurune doesn't have characters like that. Moreover,if I'm being honest, this isn't a particularly good gag episode regardless of how loveable the characters are. The plot itself is flat at the same time as it's ridiculous. Yes, it's fun to see these characters interacting outside of kyuudo competitions as that's the only significant way these two teams have interacted thus far, but the way this episode achieved that could have been done a million different ways, and this wasn't a good way. I commend the story for trying to place everyone in one spot to do kyuudo and staying that way because, in essence, Tsurune itself is actually that simple--but the contents of this episode just didn't have the same heart the first thirteen episodes did.
