Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitte Iru Episode 15

Today has been a good day despite it being bathe the cats day. XO Blood loss was at a minimum which is a miracle! Now my cats smell like clean fluffy animals and only slightly hate me. Yay for me.

But today is also Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru day. I am having problems finding translated manga chapters but an anime episode is the next best thing. Sadly there is no action in this episode but next week looks like we are going to get some serious truth. Hopefully Yuki can handle the truth.

Oh and slight Hotsuma bashing scenes.

Beware of drawn out breakfast scenarios and Takashiro being naked. You have been warned.

How much stuff is he packing for this trip?!

Episode Summary: Yuki is getting ready for his journey to the main house. Tachibana, the random girl who works there, and the cook are all worried about keeping this from the other high school kids as they love Yuki and would want to come. Tachibana tries to hurry the kids off to school but they are all like WHERE IS YUKI. When Yuki comes to tell everyone that he is going Tachibana tries to go HAHAHA everyone, Yuki is tried from his injuries so he is staying home to rest. But that just turns into all the kids wanting to stay home. Eventually after a lot of craziness Tachibana is used at and Shuusei asks Yuki what the heck is going on. Yuki tells them where he is going and everyone wants to come too. The high school kids are like find don’t take us with you we will just follow you later. Hotsuma, being the simple one, is tricked into going to school to help Yuki out (to take notes) and the rest of the kids follow. Yuki, Luka, baby dragon Sodom, and Tachibana are picked up by Zweilt Guardian in training Senshirou. Luka seems to know him and Tachibana goes on and on about how special Senshirou is. Yuki is all like YAY a new friend for me to love and make necklaces for. Senshirou doesn’t give much personality wise but according to Tachibana Senshirou is awesome.

I will allow your crush on Yuki but you belong to me.

They stop to pick up Senshirou’s partner Kuroto who just quit being a shoji pro. It is all dramatic as Senshirou fetches Kuroto from the evil old men. Poor Yuki is sad when it is not all rainbow and kisses when Kuroto gets in the car. Kuroto instead tells Yuki how he just gave up his life’s dream for this war and Yuki must prepare too. At the main house Takashiro is taking a spiritual bath when his butler comes in. He dries Takashiro off but Takashiro almost falls down due to come sickness. The butler and him then have a moment about him being sick and them sharing the secret. Takashiro then has an emo attack about keeping things from Yuki and how he is going to tell him the truth blah blah. The school kids are off thinking about Yuki and how this time the war is different because Yuki has a penis. The car gets to the main house and everyone files in except Luka. He is not allowed in as he is demon child. Luka and Yuki have a touchy feely moment where Yuki says he wants to find out more about this war but he is really thinking about finding our more about Luka. Luka has a memory about girl Yuki and generally looks like he is going to throw up. Yuki is taken into the house and meets with a robe wearing Takashiro. THE END!

Oh and Hotsuma is totally reasonable in this episode too.

After last week’s emo fest I thought we were going to get more of back story on what is going on. But no, Takashiro was all like NO I need to have my emo moment don’t leave me behind! Also the writers are really stretching out this season/plot for some reason as not much happens at all.

Photobucket

Tsukumo kinda looks like a stalker in this pic.

Almost half the episode was devoted to the high school kids fawning over Yuki. We get it, they love him. But really, half the episode was devoted to the breakfast scene and them talking about skipping school? That was a bit too much for me to handle. Speed things along please.

Photobucket

Because telling the truth is way too simple.

Also I don’t get why it had to be a secret anyway. Tachibana was being way too dramatic in this episode. Him not telling the kids made them want to know even more. Why not just say HEY Yuki is going to the main house, you’re not, eat your corn flakes. Or Froot Loops. Froot Loops are better. But if he had done that then the episode would have only been 12 minutes long.

Photobucket

ME?! Yuki can only count on me?!

But even though it went on for way too long Hotsuma was still pretty entertaining. I keep being told that Hotsuma has a crush on Yuki in the manga and finally the anime shows that side of him. Yes last week Hotsuma had that blushy scene when he denied that he loved Yuki. But now people are using Hotsuma’s crush on Yuki against him. But deep down Hotsuma really loves Shuusei and Shuusei is comfortable enough in their relationship to joke around with Hotsuma. So yes, I enjoyed Hotsuma getting played into going to school because he hearts Yuki.

Photobucket

Everyone really likes wearing jackets all the time.

Newbie number one: Senshirou. Slightly Klutzy. He is looks sorta normal. I am not sure why Tachibana is so WOOHOO Senshirou is so awesome. Maybe because Senshirou isn’t a reincarnated person? Maybe him and his partner are actually new Guardians and people choosing to be a part of this crazy war are truly amazing? I don’t know. But he can drive a car people, he must be amazing. Hopefully there will be more details to come on Senshirou. Not next week as we better learn about this SAD SAD PAST.

Photobucket

I didn't need to see anyway.

Newbie number two: Kuroto. He needs a haircut. How do people see where they are going in real life? This girl at the pizza place was purposely fixing her hair in front of her eyes. Like have fun running into walls. But back to Kuroto. Boy does he know how to make an entrance. He had to quit his shoji proness the day Yuki was coming by. I am sure that Kuroto has known about being a Guardian before Yuki was coming to town. He was probably told beforehand what being a Guardian was all about. So him quitting was just a show to put on before Yuki. Now Yuki is going to be all emo about people giving up their dreams for him and MOG someone is not happy. Senshirou keep this boy in line.

Photobucket

BEHOLD THE TOUCHING!

I think it is cute that Yuki is being brave and wants to find out about his past so he can learn more about Luka. The direct approach probably won’t work with those two as they have trust issues to work out. But Luka seems awfully worried about what Yuki is going to find out. I guess it could boggle the mind (Yuki’s mind) that Luka had the hots for his girl version self. Luka has no problem with what body Yuki is in (and this blogger pretends that Luka enjoys the boy version better) but he is worried about how emotional Yuki will handle the news. So he will wait outside in the trees. Good thing he came on this trip.

Photobucket

Yes. Please be wearing clothes. Thanks.

Takashiro. I do remember asking for more bath scenes. I just didn’t want…yours. But you and your butler were a surprise pairing. Like OH HI let’s have a naked conversation. Random indeed.

Photobucket

Are you trying to seduce the butler or something?

Takashiro is dying from something. Or super sick. I am sure it will have something to do with Reiga. Him keeping it a secret is probably not the best idea as someone needs to be trained in his place. Or maybe he is hoping the war will be over by then. But yeah, stop keeping secrets.

Photobucket

Well thank God the lies are going to stop soon.

I really hope that we get the truth next week. I am tired of Takashiro being SO DRAMATIC about the lying and drama and what not. We get it. Everyone knows the truth about what happened in their past lives except Yuki and everyone is super guilty about not telling Yuki. But feel free not to tell the boy the truth for 15 episodes. So I am wondering why they are keeping it from him if they really love him. It looks like girl Yuki committed suicide which isn’t….the worse thing ever. Like girl Yuki actually being the enemy or something. In any event I will be happy when the truth is revealed and everyone stop being a drama queen.

Photobucket

Someone fails at being sneaky.

And then the episode ends before we get any answers. RARW! But we are one step closer which is always a good thing. Now if you’ll excuse me I need to watch Quarantine for the 867th time. I will see you next week Yuki although I suspect you probably won’t be that happy. But when things get too tough go outside and get yourself a Luka hug.

this episode was a sort of letdown for me. Since last week, I was expecting that Takashiro will finally tell the truth about the last war in this episode but unfortunately it didn't happen. Although I found some parts of this episode funny like what happen to Hotsuma and Sen-kun, I hope that the next one will be better. I really wanted to know what happen in their past lives that everyone didn't want Yuki to know about it..The series also has a new opening and ending songs. In the last part of opening, you can see Yuki letting out his power so I think he's going to end up sacrifice himself to stop the war after he gains the memories of his previous life when he was a girl.
I really hope that this series won't turn out to be a tragedy with the main character dying in the end...Btw, Takashiro starred in the new ending song. I liked the first better.

The is the first episode that really tested my patience. Save for a few moments it was totally pointless :\

Also I'm not digging the new OP and EP songs and sequences.

I did like how they kept that interaction at the end with Luka very similar to the manga, even down to the dialogue. However Luka touches Yuki's face not once, but twice, and the second time he kind of plays with his hair (something that a flashback reveals he used to do to girl-Yuki): http://i.imgur.com/hv8fe.jpg

To make up for the slowness of the past two episodes, there will be an exciting two-parter battle and then a big boss battle coming up -- though I don't see the climax happening for at least another three episodes.

While they don't explore the past life that Luka keeps having flashbacks from, they do explore one of Yuki's earlier incarnations, which explains a lot of the Reiga and Takashiro's back story, including the story behind Takashiro's scar.

There are also new characters on the way! Depending on how far the anime goes into the story, there are new side characters, one family member of Luka's, and two new Zweilts (one of whom I think will be the biggest threat to Luka's growing love affair with Yuki thus far.)

Chapter 40 won't be published until OCTOBER so I'm going to be going through bad uraboku withdrawals soon :(

ps someone is translating the german version of vol 4 right now on mangafox. if you want translations of other scenes just post them and i will send you a quick a dirty translation.

Angeli- After last week's emo cryathon this episode did seem to drag on quite a bit. A lot could have been hacked down such as the breakfast scene and the Takashiro talking while naked scene. But I did enjoy Hotsuma getting played.

But I missed the new opening and ending as I usually zip past those after the first episode. Next week I will be sure to resist faster forwarding. But Yuki better not die XO

Anonymous- In the manga Luka's fingernails look less scary XD But that scene looks so cute. Yuki looks much more in love with Luka instead of confused anime Yuki.

XO But I want to meet a Luka family member. Not sure how I feel about the new Guardians but seriously how many people are going to come between Yuki and Luka?!

Bleh to long hiatus in between manga chapters. October is insanely too long to wait.

Anonymous said...

The whole Luka's (spoiler omitted) relative is straight out of a daytime TV soap, but I find it amusing. The Zweilt that's perving on Yuki pervs on poor Toko-chan too. He's just an "anything that moves" kinda fella XD

Luka touching Yuki is actually the second of two similar scenes, one in vol 4 and one in 5 (the anime took the one from vol 5).

It's cute because in the first scene he ruffles Yuki's hair like a kid brother, and tells him not to stress out in a playful manner. This is juxtaposed with that second scene, where he caresses him as he once did to his lover, and says "daijyobu, daijyobu na" which is a tender way of saying "everything will be okay."

The first scene is meant to show Luka trying to take Yuki's current incarnation in stride, respect what he believes is girl-Yuki's wish to end their relationship, by treating Yuki in a "you're my cute little brother" way. The second was him slipping up and letting his real feelings through. I really liked that. Not sure why they left that subtext out.

Hotsuma was pretty cute in this episode. I like stalker-Tsukumo too, he's a cute stalker.

Takashiro's bath scene was ridiculous. He kept changing positions and posing for the camera. LOL. He wasn't even talking or having an internal monologue. Just..flaunting his wet self. XO

I am intrigued! I can't wait to see what these new guardians are about. And of course, the TRUTH -- if we ever get to that.

Christina said...

Anonymous- :( Poor Luka misunderstanding what girl Yuki wanted. Or maybe that is what she wanted but who cares if this Yuki wants to be with Luka. Lots of misunderstandings going on with these two but Luka eventually allowing himself to express how he really feels is cute.

Macy- There are no words for Takashiro's bath scene. Okay there are a lot of words. XD It looked like a scene out of a porno only he wasn't hot.

The truth better come soon. X_X There are only so many episodes left! We have to have Yuki being depressed over the truth, then accepting the truth, these two new Guardians, and some more Kanata betrayed me crap XO

Jan Suzukawa said...

"Hotsuma, being the simple one..." LOL - that's why we love him...

I was okay with Takashiro being in the buff. Though obviously Luka, Hotsuma or Shuusei would have been better. ;)

I like Kuroto for the mere fact that any character that resembles Ryoma from Prince of Tennis is automatically a cutie in my eyes. We'll see what happens from here!

Jan Suzukawa said...

BTW, Yen Press just announced at Comic Con that they've licensed the UraBoku manga.

Christina said...

Jan- Our dear silly Hotsuma. He acts like a tough guy but is so easily swayed.

I think Takashiro's naked scene was a waste as it didn't further any pairing. Nakedness should only exist when it's making Luka and Yuki a stronger couple or....for Shuusei and Hotsuma so we die hard fans have something to swoon over. XD

I hope that it being licensed doesn't stop the scanlations. But that is exciting news. I enjoy owning hard copies of my mangas so WOOHOO more for my collection.

Also anime/manga news should be announced at anime conventions. X_X Why does everything major seem to be announced at Comic Con now? :(
