Hello there my lovely readers. I do apologize for the lateness/randomness of all my posts lately. Work. That is all I need to say. Energy and positivity has been hard to come by lately. Maybe I will just ignore it all and focus on the fun that is blogging/snarking anime shows. Or shopping. Spending money on fun things is always positive right?
I wish my coworkers would only mess up twice a day.
Now that is everyone is all up to date in my crazy business (because that is why you come to this blog right?) it is time for more anime! I keep on blogging Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan because….it doesn’t require much brain power if you know what I’m saying. An easy show. Of course with all my crazy theories I am probably making it more complicated than it needs to be. In any event episode 8 of this show. Spoilers for every single person washing up on shore!!!!
Awkward? Never!
Episode Summary: Xiao-Mei comes to bakery de Rick like nothing has happened to eat her fish bread. She demonstrates some fast cat like moves when she saves three antiques plates from crashing on the ground. Neris is supposed to take the deliveries today but since there is actually more than three loaves in the basket Rick says he will help. At one point they split up and Rick goes alone to Flora’s bar. She answers the door dressed but not dressed enough. She invites Rick to make them coffee as she puts more clothes on. When Rick brings up the garlic toast Flora decides to bring up the fact Madera helped her get her (Flora’s) start in town after SHE washed up as well. Upon learning about another survivor Rick questions if she ever wonders about her forgotten past. She says she doesn’t and invites Rick to come back later. After work the three bakery girls talk about how work is SO HARD and how they need to make it easier. Rick isn’t listening and asks if he can pawn off cleaning the store on them. He decides to go to the bar to talk to Flora because….well she is just like the bakery girls, not caring about their past. Rick is pushed aside a bit by the pirate Dylan but Flora says he is harmless. The next day Kaguya actually wakes up and the doctor thinks she is going to get better.
So indecent!
Rick is still thinking how weird it is no one has their memories yet they are all happy on this island. He goes back to the bar to talk about his feelings but Flora is like I really don’t mind. Dylan offers a few words of encouragement to Rick and then starts talking about the big ship he saw before getting to the island. Rick leaves the bar and encounters Kaguya on the way back home. She is creepy and wants to see the moon. Rick helps her find the moon in the GIANT sky and asks her how she feels about having no memories. She is okay with it since strangers were at her side when she woke up. After Rick leaves Dylan makes the point to talk about the battleship again and how the island will probably be in danger. He asks Flora to come with him but she says she has something to do here and can’t leave. Dylan looks upset but understands. He sets sail despite the danger at sea. Rick makes a great show of making baking garlic bread. He then goes to Flora’s house to give it to her for free. She is touched and asks why. Rick says that his talks with Flora has helped him with his past and he also wants to thank Dylan. Well it turns out that Dylan has already left and Rick is sad. The random kid that has been picking up bread alone shows up in front of the bar. Turns out he is Flora’s kid and she woke up early just to make him lunch. AW AFFECTION! The episode ends with Xiao-Mei greeting Hank as he finally has come to her for help. THE END!!!
No. No one does. NOT ONE CARES!
I don’t know if I was half kidding when I was talking about everyone on the island being washed up on shore. I have lots of theories in my head, probably way too many for such a simple show that is based around bread. BUT MOG?! Is everyone really from somewhere else and ends up on the beach with no memories? Because hot damn folks.
Actually the first thing is Neris needed help carrying ALL OF THIS!!!!
First things first though. Kaguya has finally woken up. Well it looked like she was awake at other points but maybe she was just sleep eating. In any event despite the fact that Rick’s doubt has taken a little magic out of his bread this is still a marvelous day. We should celebrate by eating bread. Although now that I have learned that the three bakery girls have also washed ashore it makes more sense why they were so gunho about helping Kaguya. Before it felt weird but now it has a purpose so it is okay now.
And you are creepy. X__X
Kaguya was acting a little though right, especially at the end of the episode. Maybe I am just hater because her baby/sleepy voice got annoying at times. But she is still weird despite the whisper voice. I would think waking up in an unfamiliar place with strangers would be upsetting. Factor in you have no idea who YOU are and Kaguya should have been a crying mess on the ground. That maybe this calm whatever behavior the bakery girls and others have about their forgotten past comes later. After accepting they can’t change it and what not.
Kaguya is not on your team Rick.
But nope. Kaguya is calm as can be. But maybe this is not Kaguya being weird but the island actually being the place where LOST happened. You wash ashore and can’t remember who you are? Well that is just the island calming you down, removing the part of your brain that should be panicking about what has happened. Like oh who am I? never mind people like me and are giving me a job somewhere so all is okay YAY! That is just how it seems to me in any event.
Rick is desperate to talk to someone!
Rick however has not been taking his brainwashing pill or his conversation with the more enlighten Xiao-Mei has helped him see the light. Or at least opened up the curtains a bit. Like yes Rick why haven’t you thought about your past more? You were wearing armor when you were found and can wield a sword. Why haven’t you questioned what you used to do and focused instead on the magical bread? So while it is eye rolling it took Rick this long to realize all of this stuff…at least he has some clue now?
Just so silly thinking about things like that.
He actually spent most of the episode talking about his past. A dog with a bone if you will. Like hi random bar owner Flora. You are washed up too? Haha I kid. But no seriously lets talk about our feelings and how we miss our past. Wait you don’t care? I’ll talk to Kaguya about it then. Surly since it just happened to her she will…oh no she doesn’t care. Too bad Dylan, the pirate who loves garlic toast, didn’t wash up. We could talk for hours and hours……
But what about the bread?!?!?!
Do you see where I am going with this? Rick just spend most of his dialogue acting really, REALLY concerned about his lost memories. And I can’t blame him for acting insane since no one else seems to mind. Like helllllllllllllo doesn’t anyone care?! Instead people are just happy to be given jobs in the Happy Go Lucky kingdom. I am sure once Kaguya leaves the hospital official she will be given an occupation out of the Job Hat. Poor Rick finally getting things way after the fact and when he does no one else cares.
Pointless to worry about why this island makes everyone forget their past!
Lets talk about Flora for a bit. A bit forced into the plot, especially with her belonging to the EXCLUSIVE club that is washed ashore victims. I understand that she has something to do on this island, to be the neglectful mother of a bread fetching son. But that doesn’t mean one can’t wonder about their past. I mean I know you aren’t supposed to live in the past but KNOWING it is very important. She was just way too laid back for my opinion. Just there, listening to Rick but not really caring if anything was accomplished.
As he says it in passing.
I might like Dylan more if he didn’t totally ruin my battleship theory. See it is hard to be a trapped island in the middle of now where when Dylan can come and go as he pleases. Clearly he would have knowledge of an outside world with amazing technology yes? So…his exist makes me sad. :( Because Dylan can’t be only stealing from only equally as backwards as Happy Go Lucky kingdom. No no…my theory must be wrong. But something else is crazy as the palace wants to keep something from their citizens IE stuff from the bottom of the ocean. But not people apparently. People are accepted as the Island makes them forget everything.
So brave buying bread for your sleeping momma!!!
Dylan and Flora seem to have a very interesting relationship. He wants her to join him, to protect her from harm, but he didn’t offer to take her kid. Which could be her kid, their kid together, or just some random kid she adopted from the poor sad church. I just find it odd that Dylan wouldn’t mention that kid in his rescue plan. Yes the kid was supposed to be a secret as a SURPRISE at the end but come on. ___- Laziness.
Shouldn't he know that reason?
But if I were to put that aside how do I feel about Dylan and Flora? I don’t know. They seem to understand each other well. I do wonder what he protected her from before. Was he the one who originally found her? Probably not but if she knew him in her “past” life…well she wouldn’t remember. Interesting interesting. We probably could have learned more if there was less garlic bread talk.
So deep this pirate man.
What else what else. I feel like it has been forever since I watched this episode. All the bakery girls not caring about their past was rather…upsetting. Don’t you care?! I am not sure what Dylan was supposed to do other than sorta inform Rick that there was something scary on the way. Rick is making friends with all sorta of criminals isn’t he? I also like that even the bar in Happy Go Lucky kingdom is nice and friendly. Serves milk too! XD
Yes Rick. Garlic bread!!
So next week….more bread? Amazing new menus? 15 more people washing up on shore? WHO KNOWS! Oh wait Hank and Xaoi-Mei are breaking into the palace to steal back the key that activates Hank’s scary doll? I see. Well…maybe someone will wash up on shore anyway. One can hope right? Oh and I really hope Rick spends half the episode wishing to know more about his past and no one caring. XD
