Just ripe for anime

Seen a few minutes ago what "Too Old For Anime" has for HSoTD and Mitsudomoe. It opens with a mature movieblogger's prose, the kind you'd expect from Kaedrin:

[..] When Takashi does the sensible thing and bludgeons Hisashi, she turns on him with hate. Takashi, who is in love with her, is equally hateful. Excellent moment, and an honest way of showing what can happen when you see someone you love turn into a zombie, like we all have. // It’s directed well, full of quick cuts and swaying cameras to convey the chaos.

But the Mitsudomoe half is weak sauce, starting with the inability to count to three ("without Komoe" [1]).

It’s hard to figure out what to be appalled by the most: the girls’ behavior or the fact that Satoshi has absolutely no control over them. None. They even chase him into the teachers lounge. The other teachers either don’t care or are relieved that it’s not them the girls are after. I know he’s new at this but if he can’t bring any sort of discipline to the class what good is he?

Never read Gaijin Smash, apparently.

I expected someone to miss the point of Mitsudomoe, which is completely legitimate, as far as opinions go, but this really is a fine specimen.

[1] An alternative interpretation would be that he can count, but wants to subtract the spirit of Komoe from Hanamaru. It works just as poorly, since Anzu and Hiiragi are also no match for the Marui trio.
