Winter 2010 – Week 8
So, this is that day of the week again.
I had a hard time making this week’s ranking, because there was lot of nice moments in every shows… and mizugi everywhere !
Obligatory reminder : that’s not overall ranking, just my ‘personal’ appreciation of the lastest episode of each shows.
#1 〓 Hanamaru Youchien (7)
Same as last week : Mizugi feast in the first half (including Satsuki-chan this time), and Satsuki special in the second half. Add light lulz and cute flashback scenes to that, and you get Love & Piece win. Ah~ Satsuki-chan… I wonder if she will appear again in the show… :/
Again, the ED was a piece of epic greatness.
At least, to me who’s into this kind of “Film Noir” mood, parisian jazz and “Hotel Dusk”-like animation.
And it’s sung by Satsuki-chan (with her onii-chan). Awesome.
#2 ↑↑ Chu-Bra!! (8)
Got everything that makes an otaku happy : Mizugi, onsen, yuri raep, ice-cream bukkake, flying fake breast… But it was also some lovely Mizuno-sensei episode. Still, it was Kiyono who caught my interest the most, I really luv her more and more. Seeing her participating so seriously in the shitagibu’s activities is cute, and her gentle smile (during the scene when she puts some make-up on Mizuno-sensei’s face) is a killer. <3
#3 ↑↑ Ladies vs Butlers! (8)
Moar mizugi ! As expected, the show is getting a bit better now that it stops adding new characters again. Very enjoyable Flameheart-san episode, though I regret that they had to use the old ‘Main guy gets accidentally drunk’ trick for deepening their relationship. Also, since Tomomi knows Daichi’s secret and invited her home, I was really hoping for some yuri raep to happen (like, Tomomi trying to forcibly dress her as a girl and… you know what happen next). But it’s the last scene that made me rank it high. It’s nice to finally see one of the shows taking a step further in the story. Next episode will be Tomomi episode, I seriously hope that Daichi will also get her change at deepening her relationship with Hino. DAICHI ENDING KIBONNU !
#4 ↓↓ So-Ra-No-Wo-To (8)
For a change, SoraWoto was rather servicey. It was mostly Kanata watching over a phone, restraining herself from going to the bathroom (offering lot of ///// faces), and eventually wearing some mahou shoujo-ish dress. Maa, doesn’t mean that this episode was bad. The characters’ quality makes up for the lack of content (especially Noel-chan <3 <3 <3), and I found the part with the priest pretty funny. Still, I can’t help but think that ‘something’ was missing (compared to the early episodes), and at the same time I’m feeling like I was a bit severe with this episode. At the end, we got again a hint that they will most likely enter war (“I want you to save this country”, lol >_> )… orz
On a side note, I wish Miyuki-san (Lucky Star) was a bit more like Filicia-san…
#5 ↑↑ Omamori Himari (8)
For making it short : I really, really loved all the second half of the episode with Kuesu. KUESU IS LOVE. I’d have surely ranked it higher if I didn’t hate the main guy so much. Also, I like how Rinko thinks that the fact that she’s ‘ordinary’ is her weapon of seduction. XD
#6 ↓↓ Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (8)
The shoukanjuus are back… But well it was still rather funny, mostly thanks to all the references throughout the episode.
I’d buy a set of these pictures…
#7 ↑↑ Dance in the Vampire Bund (7)
Cool. I found nice how they made us think that Mina was the ‘guy buy’ while it actually wasn’t the case. Led to some touching Akira x Mina moments again. That wouldn’t bother me much if the show ended here, lol.
#8 ↓↓ Kaidan Restaurant (11)
Nothing to say here, was the usual Kaidan Restaurant. Not so scary, not so moving this time.
#9 〓 Kimi ni Todoke (20)
Chizu-chan’s arc continues…
Also, I’ve finished to watch To aru Majutsu no Index recently, which was really a nice show. And finally started to watch To aru Kagaku no Railgun, which is even better, for obvious reason :
It seems pretty obvious to anybody that the pairings go ‘Mikoto x Kuroko’ and ‘Saten-san x Uiharu’. So far, I’ve only seen fanarts and doujins featuring these pairings, and indeed when watching the OP/ED and the show you can’t help seeing things that way.
But I beg to differ : Saten-san is the one for Mikoto. That’s what I thought when watching the first episode. Really, the development of this episode looked like the perfect start to a cute and deep lililicious love story.
Saten-san luvs Uiharu. Or rather, she luvs Uiharu’s pantsu. XD
But Uiharu luvs Mikoto, she keeps talking about her and how meeting her is her dream, making Saten-san a bit jealous.
So out of jealousy, Saten-san starts bad-mouthing Mikoto, saying how she must be some kind of arrogant ojou-sama.
When alone together with Mikoto, Saten-san feels uneasy because she still have that ‘arrogant ojou-sama’ image in mind.
But Mikoto shows her that she’s actually a nice girl, and Saten-san starts seeing her differently.
Mikoto goes berseck when she sees Saten-san being kicked in the face.
Saten-san is deeply impressed by Mikoto’s power.
… AND LOVE WAS BORN AT THIS VERY MOMENT !!!
Another point is how Mikoto and Saten-san are so different from each others (Mikoto is the strongest ESPer around, Saten-san is a Level 0), it always makes a pairing even better. MIKOTO x SATEN : TOGETHER FOREVER ! *added to the yuri pairings wishing list*
Episode 5 : ^ the most adorable little thing EVAR
A Kuroko x Uiharu is fine too.
As for my Top 5 Waifu of the week, it’s something like : #1 Saten-san, #2 Satsuki, #3 Kiyono, #4 Daichi-kun, #5 Kuesu.
