Winter 2010 – Week 8

Blogged by on Sunday February 28th, 2010 at 5:13 pm in Anime (spoilers), English | 1 Comment »

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 :


DESU NO~

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.
