Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate episode 6

X___X The rain is scary! My sidewalk to my car was flooded earlier yet people wanted me to deliver pizzas in that weather. Excuse me while I go build a boat. While I gather up the supplies enjoy my post for Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate episode 6. Spoilers for....blood noses and forgotten love letters.

Everyone do the wave!

Maybe you should have started that running thing right away....
Episode Summary: Mifuyu panics as it is announced that Yuuki will be presenting his speech next. She runs to give him the proper copy of the script but she either passes out or has an ill moment because she hits the ground. Turns out that Yuuki wasn’t next as it was Moheiji’s turn. Moheiji goes up and makes his grand speech…which is mainly to point out that they are trying to overthrow the current administration and to do that they can’t vote in Satsuki as she should have had better control of the budget. As Moheiji exits the stage he tries to talk to Yuuki but he is too pissed to listen. Satsuki takes the stage to give her speech as Mifuyu wakes up and dramatically runs to give Yuuki his correct speech. Satsuki basically says there is more than meets the eye and that she is going to plan for the long term. Yuuki takes the time to read the first lines of his speech and he realizes it is a love letter from Mifuyu. But still he leaves to walk on stage with said papers as Mifuyu barely misses him. Yuuki takes the stage…and nearly breaks his nose as he falls. The papers scatter and Yuuki bleeds all over the place. People watch in shock…as Yuuki is like LAUGH PEOPLE!!! He smears around the blood and gives a random speech how he is fighting to protect his club and if other people are going through that too vote for him! WOOHOO!!!
Photobucket
At least he got the outcast votes?
Afterwards Yuuki passes out and doesn’t remember what he said. Mifuyu is able to recover her love story and all is well in the world. As Yuuki comes to the random reporter from the other day comes on in the club room and says HE (previously a SHE) will be broadcasting from their room. Everyone on campus watches as the main reporter for the school broadcasts all the updates and what not of the votes. Isara is there to cheer on Yuuki and everyone else takes turns being nervous and very knowledge on how many votes Yuuki will need to move on in the real election. There is also a concern that is a 4th candidate receives enough votes Yuuki won’t have a chance as there will be two Independents. It is a lot of nail biting and silly reporting going on as everyone watches all the updates and crunches numbers. Soon the final results are in! Yuuki has enough votes to move on and the 4th candidate barely lost. WOOHOO! Rejoice the masses. Capture the magical moments on camera. The weird friends of Chisato make the moment special giving her some of the money they made from selling mangas and figurines. Elsewhere in the school Yakumo slightly worries as someone made sure the 4th candidate got a lot of votes. What is going on here?! THE END!

Err pay no attention to the papers on the floor!
Oh this show. So dramatic. So very, very dramatic. I am sure though…that is a good quality. Maybe. Embrace the insanity. Or fear the super rich/future of the world. XD
Photobucket
Oppies time to pass out!
When we last saw our…main characters Mifuyu was like OH NO my love story that I wrote to Yuuki?! I actually gave it to him and not the speech I slaved away on. Which is still Yuuki’s fault. Granted he was kinda busy making all the rolls while barely anyone else lifted a finger to help. But the speech, the one that will get the entire school to notice you since you aren’t the most popular guy ever, yeah…you should remember that speech. Mifuyu was still pretty special though.
Photobucket
Run sick girl run!
Especially when Mifuyu passes out and misses her chance to give Yuuki the correct set of papers. I mean…she was/is a rather sick person and no one can fault people for being tired/fainting/tripping. But maybe when she came to she could have told Chisato to take Yuuki the correct speech. She does have some health problems and that run was rather long for someone who just passed out. X__X Maybe she was embarrassed and didn’t want anyone else to see what she had written but come on! Better to tell one person the truth than the entire club to be disbanded and the entire school to hear the speech.
Photobucket
Look at me accepted in the group right away!
Also it is never pointed out that Isara was accepted as one of the gang even though…she wasn’t really introduced. Like oh hi here is our slave have at it! Okay maybe I am focusing way too much on Isara…which is weird because her voice takes some getting used to…but still! Is this group made up of the cotton candy and rainbow jellybeans they are constantly shoving down their throats?! It just seemed….sad to me. I know the Food Club is made of good people who would probably would have been friends with the girl anyway but still. STILL FOLKS! I need to mention that this school sucks every single episode to remind myself what an awful concept this entire thing is. Hope the other slaves are being treated well…..
Photobucket
Is he really saying anything untrue?
So Moheiji….yes he was a jerk. And Yuuki probably had a right to be surprised by this tactics. Because you know he lives in jellybean and cotton candy type places. And perhaps Satsuki should have been thrown off her game slightly. Not enough to stop her from making her speech since she does present her self as a strong person but enough to look slightly upset for a bit. However…if this crazy school of running over kids and serious elections is to be taken to a new level…well what does it matter if Moheiji acted like a real politician? Annoying? Yes. But over the top…not really. Actually…maybe what he said made sense? Aren’t there different departments to keep people checked and balanced? Oh Lord now I am remembering high school government class.
Photobucket
Oh and I want to free the slaves!
Satsuki….well we didn’t get to hear all of her speech what with Mifuyu and her dramatic yelling. Why not telling the people ….guarding the candidates what you are trying to do instead of pushing them aside? But yes we didn’t get to hear all of Satsuki’s speech as we had to hear Mifuyu huff and puff up some stairs. But to me…I really didn’t think her speech was all that strong. Not strong enough to combat was just said about her. Perhaps that was her approach, to not even justify all that with a response but still…maybe next time.
Photobucket
Slightly terrifying speech.
Yuuki and his speech….well…you know…at least he didn’t read Mifuyu’s speech. I mean was he stupid enough to do that though? I hope not. I do like that he tried to pass everything off as normal or part of his routine when he tripped. Like and what that is part of my act! However it was hard to concentrate as his face was smeared with blood. X___X Looks like he got through to the crowds though. Yay Yuuki!!!!!
Photobucket
And Yuki remembers nothing. Excellent.
So you know that whole story that Mifuyu wrote about Yuuki, confessing her feelings for the boy? How she was running to save her secret from Yuuki? DIDN’T MATTER! The subject was just thrown under the rug. What speech?! Yuuki clearly lost his mind and can’t remember anything he did or said before and after the speech. So he doesn’t remember the words I Love You. WOOHOO!!!! Now we can focus on more important things…like numbers.
Photobucket
That was a pretty good voter turnout though....
Yes folks so many numbers! This is where everyone magically gains 40 IQ points and it is all serious business. Although so many updates for the poll results? Was that really necessary? This school seems really high tech. No need to be like Florida and our stupid voting method. Just count them all and make sure there was no cheating. Do it all at once. XD Silly suspense.
Photobucket
Apparently having three candidates is the norm.....4 would just be silly!
Something that I thought was weird…was how many candidates moved on the real election. And that this is usually the results. So did everyone else just run to earn money for themselves? What does happen with all that extra money? If that is the case…well maybe some more investigation needs to take place. I just thought a lot of effort went into this event when usually the outcome is the three major parties have candidates that that is it. Why waste so much time and energy when people knew they were going to win? Also I just think it is weird how the percentages were determined. I do think that people shouldn’t run if they don’t have a chance, like a joke. But when the two major parties have such an advantage over everyone else maybe the top 5 contenders should be allowed to run? I don’t know I don’t know.
Photobucket
Ah yes a boy. Look Yume a boy for you!
I also don’t know what to make of this shape shifting reporter. Did I just say shape shifting? FIRED FROM LIFE TENCHI! Gender confused maybe? I thought she was going to be a passing character from last episode, around to make Yuuki’s life special and to hammer home the fact that Yuuki’s name is the hardest thing in the world. But nope apparently this reporter is having a gender crises. Don’t know what will come from this. Probably nothing. What a special school.
Photobucket
Well thank goodness for all those pity votes.
In the end Yuuki got enough votes to move on and there are only three candidates. Because had there been anyone else Yuuki would not have had a chance. Because people can see into the future. Or Chisato is really, really smart. I think it would have made the show more interesting with more candidates but…I guess he is going to have a hard time getting 34 or 49 percent of the votes. 34 being the bare minimum he needs to win and all he has right now is 10 percent. Still I wonder if that mystery girl that was running against Yuuki is the same girl that appears to be his friend….
Photobucket
We need a decoy limo too!
Either way the current President is like OH SNAP people are against us. I am shocked as they went to great lengths to get HIM out of office IE running people over. So this show is insane with nose bleeding candidates and cosplaying freaks. But then it becomes all about crunching numbers and serious business. X__X This show is slightly insane yes?

This high school election is just overblown. My high school election didn't have those fancy TVs with statistics on who's who. We just used the school speaker!! And it wasn't a serious life or death business with drive-bys. On the contrary, everyone was just chilling and not stressing about polls/votes.

I don't know how it is in Japanese high schools, but I think they should just relax. Is being student council president really that lucrative? I personally think it's a lot of work and politics just to make your college application look good.

This episode reminds me too much of the presidential election coming in November. Only with anime comedy.

Here's some trivia that you might find interesting. In the visual novel:
-Sumiyoshi Chisato cosplayed as Hatsune Miku, instead of Madoka
-Sarue Ai cosplayed as Kagamine Rin
-Monzennaka Kii cosplayed as Kagamine Len
-Yume cosplayed as Kaito

Anonymous- The upcoming election in the United States makes me sad. I just want more people to run so more voices are heard and people aren't so obviously divided.

That being said this show is super serious business with the election is scary. In every show though that involves school like and the mention of student council the president is treated with such importance. Like how much power does a student REALLY have?! NO NEW CLASSES! Just silly. XD More yaoi sticks.

Eternia- X___X So instead of Madoka they were vocaloids. Which is odd because I thought they were still insanely popular in Japan. Move over because Madoka is taking over! Thanks for the fun fact!
