Today my husband asked me what I would do with 54 million dollars. Apparently my answers were all lame. XD But one of them was to get a blog with more features. And then pay a person to understand those features. I dream big folks. DREAM BIG XD So in the event that I win 54 million dollars I still intend on blogging. In between my summers in Japan and buying all the Legos in the world for my husband. The what if game is fun.
For a bunch of people not having fun we have Kamisama Dolls episode 10 up. WOOHOO yes? Okay maybe not. But we get a new character guys! Yay crazy girls. Spoilers for Shiba barely getting any screen time YAY!
And yet the only thing broken in the room is a laptop that was thrown and a pair of leggings. HMM. Yay god dolls.
Episode Summary: The random girl who showed up last week is named Maruhi and is apparently Kirio’s “big sister”. Despite being from the other family Maruhi loves her some Kyouhei which pisses off Shiba and Utao. Elsewhere Kuuko and her random dude friend bring Aki to another random dude’s office. He is a Diet Member Person Thingy and also from the same village. He is the one who freed Aki so Aki can turn the village upside down and free the god dolls for all humans to benefit from. Back in the park Maruhi is offended by Shiba’s huge and nasty boobies and starts using her god doll to do crazy things. Koushiro tries to be an adult and calm things down but clearly Maruhi is stronger. Moyako tries talking some sense into Maruhi but Maruhi seems to think she is the Queen and Kyouhei is her prince. With a quick head nod Kirio and Utao manage to team up and Maruhi leaves as she is at a number’s disadvantage. After listening to this random Diet Dude Aki is like um no this plan is not for me. At that moment Maruhi busts in. Turns out random Diet Dude wants Maruhi to help with his plan. Maruhi is insulted that trash like Aki was invited. This leads Aki losing a god doll fight and Kuuko getting tazed with her own gun.
At dinner that night Utao is thinking back to the end of the battle. Kirio does not want to acknowledge Utao is a big sister and she is a little miffed by that. The next day Koushiro and Kyouhei have a meeting. Koushiro saw episode 1 and wants to know what the big explosion was all about. Kyouhei puts on his story hat and tells us more about his drama filled childhood. When he was younger Aki and him were flying around when they spotted the newly Seki-zed Maruhi. She is tiny and inexperienced. Kyouhei treats her with kid gloves with Aki is a bit more abrasive. They all end up exploring a random cave that feels weird. They just a random god doll. Aki wants them to claim it for themselves but quickly changes his mind when the god doll comes alive and tries to eat his brain. Soon an all out battle breaks out as the three find themselves unable to win against this memory eater. Maruhi is quickly driven mad and Aki does his best to protect the group. Kyouhei tries to drag them to safety (thus Maruhi thinks Kyouhei is the hero) and apparently the adults come to save them. Maybe. THE END!
Well if anything I guess I am happy we know what the big EXPLOSION is all about. Only took 10 episodes but we got there.
Maruhi was special. I don’t know what I was expecting. I guess someone who only clings on Kyouhei. I guess I was not expecting her to be so powerful. Or so crazy. But again coming from a village like that I suppose all the kids are crazy right?
But yes. She was crazy. Are all these kids dumb with fighting in the open? This isn’t your tiny little village sweetheart. I thought her coming in between the meeting of Kirio and Utao was a waste. I thought she was there to do something but obviously she only wanted to cause problems.
The big reveal on who let Aki out was very disappointing. Kyouhei kept mentioning it so I thought it was going to be a mega reveal. I don’t even know this loser’s name. Don’t know how Kuuko knows him. Don’t know the other dude with Kuuko. Just…..some random dude that came to the village that wants to use the god dolls for “good”.
I truly believe that by the way. Obviously using Maruhi the crazy princess and releasing Aki the murderer is a sign that this Diet Member Dude wants to use the god dolls to protect and help the world. Not to take it over and get his way in life. Why would anyone want that?
So the reveal was stupid. It went nowhere. I doubt it means anything. Woe is me. But it was weird to see Aki look so panicked in battle. A little rusty are we?
Speaking of panicked…my man Koushiro. :( What happened? This god doll thing does not seem very balanced. Even when Kyouhei was a Seki his doll didn’t seem as awesome. Maruhi shows up and she has a leg up on everyone else. I call foul folks. Unfair. Koushiro is supposed to be awesome.
There was very little Shiba this episode. Which was surprising as I thought she was going to be all :( about Kyouhei having more girls fawning all over him.
There is also very little of Utao. She might sad that she is not the “official” big brother of Kirio. But I call it a success that they didn’t kill each other. Baby steps right? That and she did get to do a tag team battle with her brother. That should make her happy. They just had to share a look and they were battling together. People who are close can do that. Say yay Kirio.
A good part of the episode was devoted to the FIRE and the drama that happened years ago. I was pretty wrong on what was going on. It was hard to tell the size of the Kyouhei dragging along the Aki. But it was not Utao being the crying mess. Woe is me.
I suppose Maruhi’s hero worship of Kyouhei makes sense. I SUPPOSE. I was wondering why she was hanging all over him despite the fact he is no longer a Seki. Then I remembered that Maruhi has a vagina so those rules don’t apply. If someone saves your life in an anime you either get really resentful or you hero worship them. I guess Maruhi is putting aside the fact that Aki was doing his fair share of protecting and only gave out a few minutes before Kyouhei.
I guess Aki was always crazy. Or had crazy tendencies. Maybe the abuse had already started. He was a Seki and that crazy bully wasn’t. Maybe that is just how kids work, they find cool things and don’t want to share with adults. Factor in that the adults in question were not the nicest to Aki and I can see him lighting up in WOOHOO time for secrets.
And all the adults were stupid. A god doll is moving on its own and three very talented Seki uses can’t take it down. Oh and apparently it eats minds. So what do they do? Lock it up, steal a twin, and wait to see who can gain control over a killing machine. Because that went well in Aki’s case yes?
At least we know why Aki, Maruhi, and Kyouhei are crazy. Well at least the first two. Maybe Kyouhei should cut Aki a little more slack. He has been through all this and also had a mind meld with a monster? Give him a break Kyouhei. Another sign that the adults in this village are horrible at raising kids. Maruhi isn’t locked up and clearly she has issues. CLEARLY.
I am going to ignore the fact that Maruhi had some magical serum that stops Seki users from using their god dolls. In a series that has barely explained what a god doll is/where it comes from I don’t want to touch on making a potion against controlling a god doll.
In conclusion I am glad that the FIREY BLAST in the past was explained but Aki’s “escape” was a letdown. Not sure how I feel about a new character being introduced so late in the game. Are they all going to go home and do their part to make the world a better place? Be it talking to the elders or blowing the elders up? I am hoping for the blow up part myself.

Considering this anime is only 13 episodes long (unless they want to make 2nd season, which is unlikely)
I can only imagine that Amaterasu gets out and starts eating the villagers, and our heroes save the day.
In that case, I hope the abusive old man with cane, and Kyouhei's useless father got eaten first.
:-)
And of course, Kuuko's dad is useless.
Eternia- It needs to pick up the pace then. It has a whole lotta eating to do. Might need to take a nap in between courses. XD Might as well eat the other god dolls too because they only lead to crazy kids. XD
I love Kuuko but her part in this show is getting weird. Like how did she find this random Diet Member? Just strange.

Random comment -- where did you watch Sekaiichi Hatsukoi 12.5/OVA?
Um...X__X I sorta forgot about it. So my answer would be I haven't watched it anywhere yet. According to the internets it will be released late September. So it is not out yet. Gotta keep our eyes peeled.
Oh, bad people always flock together, christina.
:-)
But it's probably the other way around. It's the diet member who found her, since she's digging information on Karakami village.
Eternia- If I was the Diet Member I would have killed Kuuko (and that random dude that was just there). I mean...the less people that know the better right? But since it has already been established everyone from this village is crazy he is probably like WOOHOO a party. A party where I invite unstable youths with killer dolls YAY!
