Admittedly it’s all mid-tier comedy certainly (for all I’m getting a kick out of it) but much like before you can see the inklings of what’s coming down the track. Charms the wits off of the demon world’s best? Nothing a race cannot solve. Fighter extraordinaire? Get Helck to cook. Helck’s immediate narrative strategy of course is tied up in this: Vamirio and friends don’t trust Helck, they have no idea what he’s actually up to, yet outside of increasingly ludicrous (yet very funny) setups they have nothing through which to dispense with the guy. With last week’s opener largely dedicated to laying groundwork and introducing key characters, this episode was all about giving everyone involved a reason for the chaos – and what chaos it’s turning out to be. Helck of course is one of those, because while I expect it’ll fade behind more heavyweight adventures, it’s one fantasy tale certain to not be flying right off the cliff. For all that summer is turning into a very laidback season (unless you’re melting your face off in Europe, but I digress), it’s nice knowing some shows, if not absolutely amazing, are turning into fun weekly times.
