Last night, Ai Yori Aoshi 5, Happy Lesson 6, Tokyo Underground 6, and .hack
//Sign 7 were all released. All my time was spent trying to get all of
them. I guess I'll review:
Ai Yori Aoshi 5 - Introduces two new characters. Minazuki Taeko and
Tina. Minazuki Taeko is an airhead, and Tina is a tomboy. Tina is very
much like Mitsune from Love Hina. Kaoru passes out after tasting some of
the liquor Tina brought. Tina finds where Kaoru is staying and decides to
sleep in his futon that night. In the morning, Aoi finds Kaoru and is a
little saddened that a girl is with him. Tina explains what happened to
Miyabi, and Aoi is relieved. Later, Miyabi drinks the same liquor and
passes out. Tina takes advantage and gets her to let her stay with them.
Shoju's Rating: 6/10 - They are still introducing characters, so nothing special
to take note of.
Happy Lesson 6 - This episode is centered around Kisaragi. ^_^
We find out that when Kisaragi was little, she had a childhood friend, Kanna.
Kisaragi and Kanna were going to take over the world, but then Kisaragi met
Chitose. At that point, Kisaragi wanted to do something that didn't need a
reason to do. According to her, "There is no reason needed to love
another person. That's what it means to be a mother." So, Kisaragi
became a mother to Chitose and gave up world domination.
Shoju's Rating: 9/10 - An episode centered around one of my two favorite
characters from Happy Lesson...of course it's biased. :P
Tokyo Underground 6 - A 'getting more powerful' episode where Rumina's
grandpa comes back and trains Rumina, Chelsea, and Ginnosuke. They train
for about a week. Rumina learns the Asagiryu secret technique.
Chelsea learns how to fight without her Gravity powers. Ginnosuke...runs.
In the end, they go grab a treasure Rumina's family have been protecting for
generations, the Kogarasu Maru.
Shoju's Rating: 7/10 - Grandpa's perverted ways of training Chelsea were very
entertaining for this pervert. The Kogarasu Maru looks like a very nice
sword. Though this anime reminds me very much of Flame of Recca, it looks
very promising. If they show killing, it would totally kick ass.
.hack //Sign 7 - This was a character development episode for Mimiru.
She meets a girl player named A-20. They go to some dungeon that's
supposed to very hard. Halfway in, A-20 pisses Mimiru and she
leaves. She has a small talk with BT and Subaru. Subaru seems
concerned about Tsukasa. Mimiru decides to go back to the Dungeon and
finds A-20 still there. They reach the treasure and Mimiru lets A-20 keep
it. At the end, Mimiru sends messages to BT and Bear telling them that she
wants to talk about Tsukasa.
Shoju's Rating: 8/10 - Not super exciting, but it's nice to know Mimiru and
Subaru care about Tsukasa. First appearance of a 'potion' type thing in
the dungeon. Fights with the monsters aren't that bad. There's still
one thing I'm worried about: WHERE'S THE MAGIC?!
Jericho lost... >.<
