Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan episode 10: Time for plot?

Is it Sunday yet? XD it needs to be Sunday as my peoples have decided that will be the day we will see Brave. A Sunday afternoon, a kids movie, opening weekend? What could go wrong? Of course now I realize that adults talking rudely in a movie is way more annoying than kids being AMAZED at a movie aimed at them. So I am sure it will be fine. And if not…we shall enjoy anyway. Because it will not be a day at work WOOHOO!!!

In the face of danger...play the harp!
Anime time! I decided to catch up on all the comments that had stacked up in my inbox before posting this episode. Or I got lazy. Either way….it is time for the amazing show that is Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan!!! So amazing! Episode 9 is a nonstop adventure of where is Rick woohoo!!!

The Prince and Princess are so shocked at all this information!
Episode Summary: Xiao-Mei and Hank are hanging out in the dungeon. Xiao-Mei seems to blame Hank but promises to get back all her stolen treasure. Hank is focusing on how his robot doll just FLEW out of the damn workshop. Rick, being the slave he is, is making bread at the shop. But even he knows it is not turning out great. Kaguya is at the beach letting her shoes get all wet when suddenly…she is not at the beach anymore! The next day Lorna is hanging out at the bakery and decides to tell Amil that it tastes like crap. Amil tastes it too and demands to see Rick. But the other girls don’t know where Rick is! Surely he must be lost. Kaguya wakes up in a cave and sees the robot girl walking towards her. So clearly the scene cuts to the girls still talking about Rick being missing. The doctor comes by and says that Kaguya is also missing. They talk about what to do about all the random missing people. Rick is actually…at his home, the ship. Good job looking girls.

Rick is the only sensible person in this show. X___X
Suddenly Dylan the pirate returns with a busted ship and hurt crew mates. Dylan is like that huge battleship is on the way…but lets talk about it later. The Prince and Princess are told of the battleship coming to their kingdom and they go…oh. As Xiao-Mei and Hank rot in jail the robot doll and Kaguya crash right in front of them. The doll introduces herself as Queen and that she is from a parallel dimension and so is the ship coming to get Kaguya. So Queen will hide in the castle using everyone as a meat shield until she can think of a better plan. Kaguya decides that she loves this place too much and tells Queen to take her to the battleship. Before they leave Queen gives Xiao-Mei Kaguya’s necklace and cuts the bars to their cells. Flora and Rick have gotten all the men to the clinic where Dylan wants booze. The bakery girls show up to yell at Rick but learn that real danger is on the way. What shall they do?! Hank and Xiao-Mei escape the palace for 5 seconds but are caught but Lorna and the Prince. Oppies. Troops arrive at the beach ready for battle as Rick and the girls look for Kaguya. But they are not going to find her as Queen is dodging explosions trying to bring Kaguya to the ships. THE END!

No this show has sucked way longer than this morning.
HAHAHAHA! This show is so bad it is hilarious. HILARIOUS folks. Or maybe I am laughing because 10 episodes into this hot mess I am still watching. I am laughing at myself apparently.
Photobucket
Well aren't you rude!
While I know this is a show about magical bread…seriously. Rick has other things on his mind and suddenly his food doesn’t taste the same. I might have bought this distraction deal if he forgot an ingredient or didn’t measure correctly. But his not so delicious/magical bread is because of his lack of feeling. Rick’s bread tastes good only because he puts LOVE into it. Like that random episode with the ice cream witch if you don’t think of your customers when you are cooking the food will NOT taste good. So say the Lord….of this crazy show.
Photobucket
This tastes like Rick wanting to know about his past!
Personally I think this is a load of crap. XD The food my husband makes taste the way it does because he follows recipes and uses the same ingredients all the time. It doesn’t taste any different because he LOVES ME and is trying to make me a lovely meal. Of course I live in reality and not Happy Go Lucky Kingdom. I just think it is hilarious how much focus they put on Rick’s cooking. Like what did the girls do before he washed ashore? How about you make some bread made of love if your new slave isn’t doing a good enough job. His few months of making bread making him the best baker EVER…until he thought about his nonexistent past.
Photobucket
Making dough is more important than the super plot points WEEEE!
But we got no talk about the past this week. Rick has been a little annoying about that (although maybe he was trying to make up for lost time). No instead we got…”action”. Weird random action that came out of nowhere and no real foreshadowing. Well except for me guessing stupid things.
Photobucket
And that was it! Three whole sentences folks!
So what WAS the real mystery, about why the battleships looked really advanced? Oh because they are from a parallel world. Psht you know, because it is obvious and known to everyone. And for some reason people from parallel can travel to other worlds. But seemingly as a price as most of the inhabitant of Happy Go Lucky Kingdom can’t remember the original world they came from. I am not sure whether or not Prince of Harps and his sister KNEW this parallel world nonsense. It could go either way, if that rule about not pulling stuff from the sea was made for that reason. In any event the Prince and Princess didn’t look THAT shocked so I am thinking they knew.
Photobucket
I think Xiao-Mei was asking just so she could steal it later.
But this VERY important plot point? Yes it got 5 seconds of conversation. Literally someone said a few lines about the issue and the characters involved in the conversation just went…oh and kept on talking. Okay maybe there was more of a conversation and I guess when your life is in danger your mind not process these things in a way that makes sense but COME ON! This is a huge plot point. And at episode 10 we are now just being told about this? Either make the entire show about bread or give important elements the time they deserve. I mean there might be time (especially if this steamin pile of crap gets a second season) to explain this all but more of a reaction next time please! And if there is a second season they should have waited until the last episode, as a cliffhanger to give the audience a reason to watch again. Not in episode 10. X__X

I bet they won't shoot at us!
So who exactly was in charge of explaining this major piece o information? Hank’s random robot he had strung up in his work office. She had lines this week! After Hank activated her she flew away and took a stolen Kaguya to a random cave. Oh and her name is Queen. QUEEN! I am sure it stands for something. It was just odd folks.
Photobucket
Hank....a smart one that man...
How odd did things get? Well Queen took Kaguya to a random cave and waited for her to wake up. THEN Queen decided that she was then going to take Kaguya to the safest spot on the island. Because obviously important plot conversations can’t take place if Kaguya is unconscious. And I thought that cave was pretty safe. I mean wouldn’t people looking for other people go to populated areas? So unless Kaguya has a tracking beacon on her (and if so..super smart for giving it to Xiao-Mei if that was the item…) these invaders were still going to go towards the castle and town first. No need to move Kaguya to power up or what not. The meat shields were going to be used!
Photobucket
Is this a gesture of good will or a way to protect Kaguya?
But for some reason Queen needed to take Kaguya away to have this plot conversation. Because if only Kaguya knew that would be silly and no one would know what was going on. So Queen had to fly to the part of the dungeon where Hank and Xiao-Mei (two mainish characters) were to explain to Kaguya that the invaders from a parallel dimensions were after her. Only like I said before no one really cared about the parallel world part and just focused on the invaders. Kaguya quickly makes the right choice to save everyone and go towards the ships. But not before Xiao-Mei is handed the all important necklace. A weapon or homing device?

Stealing from the castle means you go to jail? I am shocked.
Xiao-Mei and Hank broke out of jail for about 15 minutes. Which is pretty stupid considering war ships are coming to attack the castle. Wouldn’t they bring a lot of their troops to the beach and keep the remaining ones guarding the walls and a few to guard the important people DEEP in the palace? Not have the royal Prince roaming around with a big chunk of the guards waiting for Hank and Xiao-Mei to escape. A few PRESSING matters were at hand. Let those small potatoes go. Also don’t bring Hank’s scooter with him when you put him in jail.

This is Rick....hiding.
Oh did I forget to follow up about Rick and his bad tasting bread? Well our bakery girls were busy looking for him most of the episode. Seems that he made his bad batch of bread and left the store. And the girls spent most of the afternoon looking for Rick. He was hiding from them! He was at his ship. Clearly the last place these girls were going to look! That sneaky boy.
Photobucket
Yes lets talk about the invaders later....
Rick was hanging out at the beach thinking about his awful bread and how no one else cares about their forgotten memories. Very good hiding spot. And good thing he was hanging out there too as Dylan and his pirate ship returned at that precise moment. Thus the whole kingdom knowing about the invaders and what not. The invaders they are going to stop with soldiers holdings swords on the beach.


So there we have it. Rick and the bakery girls can’t find Kaguya because her guardian Queen is flying her TOWARDS the war ships. Said war ships that are looking for Kaguya are firing upon them but maybe they just can’t see who it is…flying in the air. And while Hank and his weapons are locked up by the suspicious Prince and Princess Rick and his girls look on at the battleship. Wondering what they should do. XO Run?! THE END!
