Pokemon Black and White 2: Kidnapping Tenchi from her blogging duties

So....yeah. I think it is obvious at this point I am totally behind on blogging. XD A bit of being sick, a lot of being out of town, and the fact that catching up will take forever play a part in why Tenchi is having a hard time catching up. I have every intention of catching up though folks! Slowly but surely!
Photobucket
What is this?!
It is hard though when you come home from work and this is what you see on the counter?! WHAT IS THIS?! I thought we agreed on after Christmas to get these games?! The husband spoils me far too much folks!
Photobucket
Oh snap how am I going to catch up now?
So yeah folks....yeah. Last time I checked today is Halloween. Are we giving out presents now on this day too. I was like noooooooooooo and ran to beat the elite 4 on Black before I started the new game. I have self imposed rules folks.
Photobucket
XO I still need you old game, don't despair!
Then something magical happened folks. I am not sure how many years I have been playing this game but all the Eevee forms are my favorite. And I usually can't build up my Eevee team until AFTER the Elite Four because of money issues or I just can't get them yet. But now folks...now...you can trade after the first badge! Probably because all the Pokemon are unlocked from the start. So you know what that means?!
Photobucket
Big pimpin already!
It means for the first time I can start off with all the Pokemon I want! At low levels of course. I would never trade over super high level Pokemon. That would be cheating. I am in the process of getting all the proteins and calciums for the other Eevees but look what I have so far?! I am super excited folks! And super broke on my original game. XD
Photobucket
Hair is cute..."skirt" is questionable.
So....yeah folks. I am going to do my best to catch up...or catch them all. Clearly this is all the husband's fault!

Little Busters! episode 4

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Kira and I are currently hiding under some blankets because it is cold. I think the weather is trying to make up for the lack of cold last year. I think it was cold two days in December….I hope Kira has enough fur. She is a Florida kitty, she might be dazed and confused at this sudden visit from Mr. Frost. I might be slightly exaggerating there.
Photobucket
Someone is ready for Halloween!!!!
Before I am kidnapped into the land of pizza let me get this one episode out at least. XD Little Busters! Episode 4 here we go. Spoilers for girls in big hats and how we don’t really care about them.
Photobucket
No new note today, sorry.
Episode Summary: Riki is doing…something when a girl in a huge hat is struggling to carry boxes. She of course falls and Riki comes to her defense. Her name is Noumi and she transferred to this school not too long ago. For some reason she tries to talk to Riki in English which fails miserably. Eventually she speaks in Japanese and Riki carries her boxes to her room. She bids him goodbye…and that is it for her part in the episode. Riki then runs back to Rin who was waiting for her soda. She is playing with the cats and is sad that there is not a note on them from the person promising them a mystery. Both are sad about that fact but notice a Band-Aid on one of the cats instead. In class the next day Masato is being tortured by Haruka and Rin learns that Komari is the one who patched up the cat. Rin is too embarrassed to thank Komari in person so she gives Riki some treats to give to Komari. Riki finds Komari on the roof and there is some mumbling in her sleep and drooling. Komari is woken up all embarrassed but happily accepts the candies. She says that she will invite Rin up to the roof as a thank you for this thank you. Komari sparkles a bit talking about her theory on making people happy and what not. Riki asks why she was talking about her older brother in her sleep and Komari gets a little sad. She says she has no older brother but remembers someone reading her a book when she was younger, something about chickens and eggs. If only she could remember….so cue Riki and Rin going to the library to find said kid book.
Photobucket
Because that egg book was so sad....
Spoiler Alert: Riki and Rin don’t find the book. Rin is super embarrassed and doesn’t want to go to the roof but Riki makes her. They find Komari all sad like holding a copy of this egg book. It is basically the stages of a chicken, with the chicken forgetting it was ever an egg. For some reason this makes all three kids really sad. What is even sadder is the name on the back of the book. A male adult in Komari’s family that she can’t remember? Komari knows something is up but the mom won’t spill the beans. It is a sad mood but Rin and her cat talking self tries to lighten the mood. As a result Komari invites Rin and Riki to go to a nursing home on Sunday. The other boys are sad to hear that Riki is not available for fun so they decide to go to. Yuiko decides to go as well because she thinks that Komari and Rin are cute. Komari leads the way to the nursing home and proves to be very popular with the residents. Despite everyone being nervous and special they fit in fast and help the old people out. Riki turns out to have the roughest approach with the roughest resident but ends up having a moment with the old dude. Komari finds out about this and thinks the older man has opened his heart. She goes to greet him too but he scares her off. Riki gets mad at that the man treated Komari in such a way and the old man grows quiet. Turns out the old man is the one who wrote the egg/chicken book thus being the relative Komari has forgotten about. THE END!!
Photobucket
Warm greetings to you too!
New anime this week? I know I am shocked! Why have I gotten so behind this season? It seems as if I will never catch up? For some reason I pick Little Busters to try and get caught up with first as it requires…well…less. Less sadness and less thought process. So far it is full of happiness and roses so it is an easy watch and an easy write up. Walking in the shallow end first. XD
Photobucket
A girl needs help? I'm on it!
I thought we were going to get a new girl of the week! I was tricked! We were all tricked folks. But really were they even trying this week? Oh look a tiny girl carrying huge boxes? Quick Riki help!!!! For the record homegirls name is Noumi because her other name is way too hard for me to type. Spelling is hard folks. And the boxes she was carrying was cute. I am not sure what is up with her trying to speak English though. Maybe because she is foreign? Clearly Riki is not though so why was she trying to speak English to him? We don’t learn that because Riki just drops her boxes off and gets out of the room as fast as possible.
Photobucket
BYE! I'll be important later!
I guess it would have been a little annoying had Noumi been a real girl of the week. Like okay Riki lets slow the train down. You have been at this school for a while and now that there is a baseball roster to fill you are now running into all these girls. Just so amazing how he is running into all these girls that need help at the right moment. Before I watched this series I thought that Noumi was going to be a main character. Perhaps she will be and this was just a warm up for things to come. Her and her special English speaking self.
Photobucket
Girls are hard work Riki!
Rin only sparkled a little in this episode. I think I would have been pissed if someone stuck a real Band-Aid on my cat but apparently Rin was touched. XD It is nice how she is being consistent with her afraid of girlness. It doesn’t seem forced as she grew up with all boys and no girlfriends. She at least seems more natural than Yuiko who is now hanging out with the Little Busters for the hot girls? Yeah hopefully the plot circles back to her at one point because she didn’t get much of anything did she?
Photobucket
Double tap!
No no folks the real plot focused on Komari. She is still way too happy for her own good and I feel like wearing sunscreen when I see her face. Just so much sparkling. But it appears underneath all that happiness and sugar she might have some sadness. Good thing that Kirito…I mean Riki is here to protect her!
Photobucket
But I don't remember him....
At first I was feeling for her sad little feelings. I am sure something tragic happened to cause her to forget the important person in her life. That is understandable. Parents lying about it not so much but in animes you are lucky to even have parents so don’t be picky if they are lying about everything okay?! How sad it must be for Komari to wake up all lonely and empty.
Photobucket
Saddest moment EVER!!!
But things got a little dramatic when the book appeared. Did Riki and Rin really think they were going to find a kid’s book in their high school library? Komari found it right away because when you are hiding a big secret it is best to hide it in a shed where anyone can find it. The homemade book was special at best. They do realize that they were reading about a chicken right? I understand it was supposed to parallel Komari forgetting something but it was about a chicken that forgot it was an egg. A chicken that doesn’t know it is a chicken. Which apparently it does because at the end of the book it remembers it used to be an egg. Remember where you came from folks. You have no future if you can’t remember your past. Unless you are a chicken going to KFC.
Photobucket
So much happiness!
After Komari got all sad…it was time for more sparkles and happiness! Turns out that Komari has a lot of time on her hand after buying snacks and goes to a nursing home all the time. I really have to give her props for that. I don’t think I could do that. Just being in those places makes me sad. So depressing. So my hats off to real life people like Komari who are able to do so. The rest of the Little Busters went along for the ride and did surprisingly well.
Photobucket
Should have taken lessons from Masato.
The one who did the poorest was Riki. That actually surprised me. Maybe he can only be nice to ladies. But if a kid came in my room and told me he was going to clean it whether I wanted him to or not I might have an attitude too. Like you best be bouncing punch. So while the old dude had an attitude Riki wasn’t helping.
Photobucket
Time to look dramatically at the window now.
After Riki thinks he has bonded with cranky face he learns that Komari is related to the old dude. Mr. Old Dude is the one who wrote the book. Now since he is super old I am thinking…he is not the brother Komari thought she had. He clearly doesn’t want to see her so something dramatic did happen. Maybe the parents got tired of taking care of their aging father and pawned him off in a nursing home. I hope it is more dramatic than that given how upset Komari is but who knows. Looks like next time it will be a Komari related episode too. I wish her voice wasn’t so annoying…..

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Or it would be if I didn't have to work today. XD Silly me! At least my house is not under water like half of New York so I should be grateful for that. Plus picking up an extra shift means more money in my pocket to go back to Orlando and visit theme parks.
Photobucket
Hello Kitty says give me all the candy and no one will get hurt!
But to everyone else....HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I celebrated my Halloween's earlier with Halloween Horror Nights and Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party. So now I will serve people all the pizza they can eat while they are busy stuffing their faces. Maybe people in cute costumes will come and I can enjoy the holiday that way.
Photobucket
Everyday is Halloween in The Walking Dead!
As I spend the next few hours before work trying to catch up on my LONG to do list...I wish everyone as safe and Happy Halloween. Not warm obvious at it is currently FREEZING where I am at. FREEZING FOLKS! Like in the 50's?! Whatever shall I do. Maybe the pizza oven will keep me warm? But in any event everyone have a great day full of sugar and heavy costumes and pumpkin fun. Because after today....it will Christmas for 55 days woohoo!!! Thanksgiving who?

Sword Art Online episode 16

Look at all these posts people! I am on a roll. I did lose a bit of momentum when it was confirmed this was a Daryl free episode of The Walking Dead. Then I spent like 35 minutes trying to find a Daryl chart online but came up short. See folks that is how I get sidetrack. XD So bad.
Photobucket
LOOK WHAT I FOUND WOOHOO!
But yes more anime episodes even though I am watching The Walking Dead for a third time pretending I will see Daryl. Up now is Sword Art Online episode 16. Spoilers for Daryl being way more awesome that Kirito.
Photobucket
Did I mention my little brother is moving to Japan and I go WHY NOT ME every single day?
Episode Summary: Kirito hurries over to Egil’s empty bar to ask him about the blurriest picture known to mankind. Egil pulls out a copy of ALfheim Online, a new game that came out after Sword Art Online went KA-Boom. It uses slightly different gear but the concept seems the same. Instead of swords there is making and since this is the world of faeries the characters have wings. Kirito gets a bit excited about the game but turns back his attention to Asuna. Egil says he is talking about this game as there is a section in ALfheim Online called World Tree. It is difficult to get there as characters can only fly for a certain amount of time thus no one can reach that far. On a failed attempt screenies were taken of the area and an Asuna like person was trapped in a bird cage at the top. Kirito sees the company behind the game is where Sugou works. He borrows the game from Egil and sets off to save Asuna. He briefly runs into his cousin Suguha who was busy thinking about him and chocking on muffins. He saves her from muffin death and thanks her for giving him a hug last night. He goes upstairs and after the briefest of pauses puts the NerveGear back on and logs on into ALfheim Online. He picks his character and names himself Kirito again.
Photobucket
Such a casual conversation....
Kirito starts to fall near a town but the game starts to look weird and he ends up on a forest. He falls but recovers quickly. He looks at his stats and notices that they are the same from Sword Art Online. He rushes to see his items and most of them say ?????? except one. He opens it up and out pops Yui. It is a dramatic reunion and the two hug. Yui then is able to tell Kirito all about the game because it is anime magic woohoo! She says that the reason she is there and Kirito has his stats is that this game is basically borrowed stuff from Sword Art Online. That this new company basically just stole the servers from Sword Art Online. As long as Kirito deletes the corrupt files and doesn’t run into a real life GM life will be fine. The system updates Yui as a Navigation Pixie and she turns into a travel size girl. Kirito tells Yui that Asuna is here and he needs to understand this game to save her. Yui teaches Kirito how to fly and they set off to the nearest town. Elsewhere two characters named Lyfa and Recon are trying to leave what appears to be enemy territory. They are outnumbered by fire welding enemies and Recon is killed and Lyfa falls to the ground. Lyfa continues to put up a fight but Kirito comes along all dazzed and confused from his crappy landing. The enemies tell the newbie Kirito to walk away but Kirito is like yo I got this random girl. After all I am the hero. Kirito makes quick work of one guy and smiles, asking for more. THE END!
Photobucket
Why does anything surprise Kirito anymore? Wasn't he STUCK in a game for 2 years?!
Elf ears and flying. I thought they were fairies. XD Where is Legalos? I want to see him fly!!!! Ah yes laughing all the way to my fridge…to eat more birthday cupcakes. So it looks like Egil is doing okay after this whole being trapped in a game deal for 2 years. Yeah his bar looked empty but they tend to look like that in the middle of the day. Stop judging Kirito. But yeah. Maybe I just thought that people would be acting all weird and such two months later. Maybe that is just me. I would be holed up in my house and jumping at every noise, thinking it was a monster coming to attack me. But all is well in Egil land.
Photobucket
Err...I borrowed it from a friend!
So….has Egil been playing this ALfheim Online game himself? Because how else did Egil know about this picture? I am sure it was posted on the ALfheim Online forum or something. So Egil is playing this game and he gave his copy of it to Kirito? If not that is some weird anime magic going on. I don’t remember seeing Egil in the special opening song but maybe you can make yourself look different in the game and Kirito is just too amazing to look any different.
Photobucket
Where they all die HAHAHAHA!
I am not sure why ALfheim Online would be so popular after the whole Sword Art Online deal. It sounds like it was going on AFTER everyone got trapped. I would assume that the minute that went national everyone be afraid of games and gaming otakus would get a bad rap. Yes it has been two years but still. Using a device based on NerveGear after all that happened…just seems odd. Odd indeed.
Photobucket
Asuna never fear. Kirito the great is coming!
But I guess the game sounds interesting. After a while it is hard to make games sound different from every other game so it couldn’t totally be different that Sword Art Online. Well and the fact that is based on Sword Art Online servers….Egil made it sound like magic was more important than swords in this game and later it seems like both are used. Oh and flying. Can’t forget the flying. Maybe people put their fears aside because who the heck wouldn’t want to fly?! All and all Egil broke down the game and how Asuna might be in it pretty decently. I would have laughed too at the thought of 5 people on top of each other trying to reach the top.
Photobucket
Moment is over, Mortal Kombat time!
As interesting as this game sounds….I think I would have liked a little more hesitation from Kirito. He was like oh okay time to put the death helmet back on. I know he is a poor high school student but I might have looked into the newer gear. Maybe in the time I had been in a coma the technology had been improved upon and now people can’t get trapped in games. Oh and yes the coma thing. YOU JUST WOKE UP! I can appreciate the fact that Kirito wants to see if that is Asuna and get on to rescuing her but….I wouldn’t blame him if there was a freak out moment.
Photobucket
It is a real mystery on who is behind this hot mess.
Given WHO made the game and how creepy Mr. Face Licker was acting last episode….it really wasn’t surprising that Kirito got sent into a dangerous forest. Perhaps if Kirito had picked another name this wouldn’t have happened. But if someone went to the trouble to trap Asuna in a game I can see how they would make sure that the hero of Sword Art Online couldn’t arrive to save the day again. Now maybe the bigger question is why trap the other 299 people in the game too? Unless those 299 people are just in normal comas and this isn’t game related.
Photobucket
What the hell do you call winning the last game?!
Oh look…it is the return of Yui. I am so excited folks. But maybe now that she is pocket sized she won’t be as annoying. XD I kid I kid. Maybe not. I do find it odd that Kirito had all of his other items all ????? except Yui. Yay anime magic. Plus how helpful is it that this new game is based on Sword Art Online servers so Yui can actually be useful. That might have been annoying had she not be able to contribute. I thought Yui would have asked where Asuna was sooner but that might have led to more dramaticness and you know how sappy that can get.
Photobucket
Where is Tink when you need her?
Even without Yui and her new title as Navigation pixie I think that Kirito would have figured out how to fly in this game. Granted he wasn’t in a safe part of the game to make this beginner mistakes but would have crashed and got it…eventually. Might have been more difficult for him as beginner towns usually have the NPCs that help you…in the most basic way possible….in learning things. But Kirito is awesome remember. This game will be easy for him.
Photobucket
We could win if we had Daryl.
It appears that this game is going to focus a lot on PvP stuff. I think I like games where you run around and kill critters and baddies instead. But the husband likes to shoot people all the time in games so maybe this is more his speed. Lyfa and her man Recon were being a bit..special in my opinion. Almost like this was their first day or something. I know it was for the viewer’s benefit but they were acting way too new and way too offended that they were getting attacked. Getting some Accel World vibes here, with factions and such.
Photobucket
You have been in the game for 5 seconds and you are already the best player?
The episode ends with Kirito once again being the hero. Because if Kirito wasn’t saving or protecting a girl his little mind might explode into tiny pieces. Of course he was able to do so because all of his skills are still in place. So Kirito got knocked out of town but the person corrupting his file didn’t think to remove his skills. In any event….poor Asuna. Looks like Kirito has a new sidekick for now. XD Jealous?

Zetsuen no Tempest episode 3

LOOK! More anime episodes! You have not been forgotten my loyal readers. Kira has been keeping me company on the couch as I spend 3849384 hours on the internet. Ah the internets. Two days without it feel like a lifetime. That is probably a bad thing right? At least I didn’t spend the entire trip texting. Probably because my phone is a million years old. XD Those crazy kids, doing things on their phone that aren’t texting or calling.
Photobucket
Its hard to take her serious when she is wearing that outfit. XD
Keeping the train going up now is Zetsuen no Tempest episode 3. X__X Again I typed a lot of this almost a week ago. I am a slacker. Spoilers for Yoshino trying to be more amazing that Kirito. As if that is possible.
Photobucket
No. Fighting with metal rings and poles is better okay!
Episode Summary: Mahiro continues to fight against Natsumura despite Hakaze telling him that is a bad idea. Mahiro is like HAHA no I want to fight. So onward they fight until Mahiro is forced to flee. Natsumura and his spear start looking for Mahiro but Yoshino and his candy bar finds him first. While Mahiro is appreciative of the nom Yoshino gives their position away and they are forced to run again. Mahiro gets them to the top of a parking garage structure but starts losing talismans as he has used lots of magic. Hakaze starts yelling that Mahiro needs to just leave while Yoshino explains he is there because his girlfriend would yell at him if he left a friend behind. Mahiro leaves the Hakaze’s talking device with Yoshino as he jumps down to battle Natsumura. He instructs Hakaze to teach Yoshino magic in three minutes which both people are left saying WHAT?! Hakaze explains that this Tree of Genesis her brother Samon is trying to resurrect is actually the source of all their magic. The tree helps stabilize the logic in the world and as a gift for using its magic mages must offer it up a piece of technology from their civilization. Being that this is a logic magic tree one cannot use fireballs and what not. Yoshino questions if someone can be brought back to life with magic and Hakaze was like stupid were you just listening? Hakaze is curious though and wonders if Yoshino wants to bring back Aika too.
Photobucket
What is with the dramatic pause there?
As Mahiro and Natsumura fight Hakaze explains that Natsumura is actually using high level defensive spells on his spear which turns into a destructive force. The magic itself is not destructive as their magic is more on the healing/fixing/speed/defensive side. Yoshino makes his way to where he thinks Mahiro is but the two have battled somewhere else. Mahiro started to act in a crazy manner, disregarding his own body to attack. But Natsumura manages to deal some real damage which leaves Yoshino running. Bleeding Yoshino thinks back to a time where Aika took care of him while he was sick. Aika told Yoshino he can’t die that easily back then so Yoshino decides that applies now. He finds a gun off a body but leaves behind his phone in the process. Yoshino is running all over the damn city looking for Mahiro while Hakaze talks to him. He thinks to himself how weird it is that this magic tree needs a civilization in exchange for magic and how living things are turning into metal. He locates Mahiro’s cellphone and immediately thinks of a plan on how to find his friend. He also takes note that military helicopters are bombing all the roads out of town.
Photobucket
Um you can't blow the town up when I am in it!
Evangeline is seen getting the hell out of dodge while she is told about how the area is going to get quarantined. Mahiro isn’t doing so hot and has been chased into a tunnel. He resorts to trying to shot/explode Natsumura but that doesn’t work. Yoshino appears out of nowhere and saves Mahiro just in time. He used healing magic to track Mahiro. He then leads Mahiro out of the tunnel just before the helicopters explode it. Mahiro pretends to be mad that Yoshino didn’t warn him but they laugh together. Natsumura explains to Samon that these two kids escaped and wonder how the princess even got in contact with them. Samon thinks to himself how the Genesis Tree has picked Hakaze after all. Yoshino and Mahiro take a train to…somewhere as they see a report about how the military is covering up the disaster in town. Hakaze says that the two boys should focus on stopping the resurrection of the tree, something that can be done without their asses getting kicked by mages. Yoshino is on board with not getting their asses kicked plan. Mahiro smirks and it is explained that Aika’s killer is in the Kusaribe clan. So obviously he is all for mage ass kicking and tree stopping. Elsewhere some kids are singing a weird song about the tree while an older couple talks about how all the young people got off their yard and went to summon said tree. THE END!
Photobucket
Because her words actually make sense!
Oh look. A show that I don’t know exactly what is going on and maybe contain some MOG moments but I don’t want to tear my eyes and hair out while watching it. And that show promises me some yaoi where as in this one I am just dreaming. But since the internets has declared that show magical and the best thing ever and this one for dummies…well long live the dummies? XD
Photobucket
This was super dumb Mahiro. Super dumb indeed.
Mahiro going up against Natsumura was dumb. It makes sense later in the episode when Hakaze and Mahiro explain that someone within the Kusaribe clan killed Aika. So in Mahiro’s mind he will eventually have to go up against Natsumura unless they determine the actual killer. Maybe Mahiro should have gone in with a plan…some more training…a better weapon. Anything other than what he did.
Photobucket
Town full of dead people...but here is a candy bar.
Yoshino and his candy bar self was cute in this episode. Like oh hi I see that you are in a fight with a powerful mage but I brought you a Snicker’s bar. Because we are best friends. Yoshino and his little why aren’t you using fireballs?! Adorable. And then when Mahiro wanted Yoshino to learn magic in 3 minutes…it’s almost like the entire world is in danger but Yoshino finds time to point out the obvious. Which is tons better than the entire world being in danger and finding time to sleep with every one of your friends and they are sleeping with each other in a giant pile of fivesome. See cute?
Photobucket
Magic is logical! Duh folks.
So while Mahiro went to go fight Natsumura again because apparently the results were going to be different this time around…stories! Explanations! And this time it wasn’t with an Eevee Fail. Yoshino’s very good question of why the heck they weren’t using fireballs or summoning dragons. Because this type of magic is made of logic. Because as we all know magic is logical (eyeroll here). So obviously there is something up with this tree. Maybe you use my power and in return I will turn your emotions into energy and save the universe by killing a few humans. XD So while this seems like BORING magic….it does make sense. Defensive, how Natsumura made his spear into a weapon o mass destruction without breaking the magic rules, and how basically Yoshino and Mahiro are playing with sparklers and everyone else gots the big fireworks. Why is Microsoft word underlining my sentences?! Are they not logical?!
Photobucket
Me thinks that Yoshino has the same questions too.
Now I do have one question folks. Or maybe a series of questions. We learned this week that I was indeed wrong and Hakaze does not need people use magic. No blood sacrifices here. Woe is me. But maybe she still killed Aika so there is hope for that…although Yoshino has basically been ruled out a suspect. Back on point though. One actually needs a part of civilization to use magic. The bigger the better. That I understand although Natsumura wasn’t poofing cars every minute. Maybe he cast one spell on his spear and it stays forever. Hmm.
Photobucket
Would the tree reject my sad little cellphone?
My real question would be does this tree KNOW how civilization is now? Meaning that it knows we got computers and cars and airplanes. Because this tree has been around for a while and I am assuming so has this family. Surely they used this tree back in the day where the printing press was the best thing ever and guns were AMAZING. So does the tree want stuff from the current civilization? Because couldn’t Hakaze build something that is a part of our civilization…just in the way past. LOOK THE WHEEL! Or has the tree gotten so greedy it needs all the newest and shiniest objects because it doesn’t want to wait in line on release day? Maybe I am on to something along with Yoshino. Perhaps this tree is gathering something up, something that Samon isn’t aware of and Hakaze is. I must think about this and how I might be right or blowing things out of the water. Must think.
Photobucket
Good thing magic can heal. No fireballs but healing is okay.
Putting aside those questions and how the tree might not have much of a civilization to eat if it turns everyone into stone…Mahiro did a great job of getting his butt kicked. Clearly he is lucky to have made it this far in life. Aika I am sure that Yoshino saved Mahiro’s butt in those fights because Mahiro is not a very logical person. Okay maybe I am being a bit too harsh. I am sure he was thinking some steps ahead but it did look like a lot of swinging and beating. It was like watching The Walking Dead that aired this Sunday. Some newbies to the Apocalypse rushed in to kill the walkers and the veterans were looking on like….noobs. I think that is what Natsumura was thinking watching Mahiro flop around with a few magical items.
Photobucket
All Mahiro has left now is anger. But then he shows us these happy memories and we know he is still human.
The magical Aika flashback of the day came when Mahiro was injured and hiding. I mean obviously he got injured. Lucky he didn’t get killed. But during that moment Mahiro thought to how his sister would tend to his wounds after getting into a fight. During a dramatic moment Mahiro joked about dying and Aika said that Mahiro won’t die that easily. That means now Mahiro and his bleeding self found the power to get up and keep on fighting. Yay for dead sisters.
Photobucket
Also while all of this is going on Samon is sitting down acting like he is running a company instead of doing something....weird to the world.
While this is going on Yoshino got his magic lesson right? Both Hakaze and Evangeline think something is up with Yoshino and I tend to agree. We didn’t see how fast it took Mahiro to learn this magic business but it seems that Yoshino is a super quick learn. Jumping all around and tracking Mahiro with healing magic. In the midst of all this chaos Yoshino noticed the helicopters and was able to plan out an escape route. The way he is hiding his feelings about Aika and how everyone he knows is dead but keeps on trucking makes me think he might not just be the cute best friend. He might be a little crazy. But a cute crazy. He seems to be keeping it together long enough to do great in battle.
Photobucket
Well...Yoshino might be less logical after learning this.
I say all of this because Mahiro and Yoshino will probably make a good pair from now on. Mahiro is like oh time to fight LETS DO THIS! Yoshino is like no no lets not fight..but if we are this is how its going to go down. This is probably more beneficial for Mahiro though. By some anime magic both boys are able to escape the town. Which means it is time to laugh and reminisce about being friends. Oh I see. Yes it is time for laughing.

The old people don't seem very concerned....
The episode ends with Samon being informed that the boys have escaped and Yoshino being told the truth about Aika's truth. Samon is taking this as a sign that the tree is really on Hakaze’s side. HMM what does that mean? Maybe Samon wants to use fireball magic and is pissed at the tree for making magic “logical”. But then there were some young people and old people walking around all peacefully talking about what Samon has planned. If Samon was so evil why would these people be supporting him? Now I am doubting that he is trying to destroy the world. Well of course unless he plans on sacrificing all of the technology for his grand plan. That would just be too evil for words!!

This doesn't look shady at all.....
Episode Summary: Shizuku is shocked she said these words out loud and thinks to herself that she got caught up in the moment. Shizuku immediately tells Haru she wasn’t serious. Haru is like yeah right you meant it. Shizuku keeps on saying that she did mean it and Haru smiles and says he is glad then. Which then makes Shizuku very upset and confused. Doesn’t he want me to like him?! They go back to the classroom where Souhei says that he can’t watch the chicken because he forgot that they own a cat. Asako joins in the conversation and they decide they should build a chicken coop. Their teacher makes a X___X face but she does go to the office and obtains permission to have a chicken coop on campus. They have a chicken coop meeting after school where it is decided that they will buy supplies and build it this weekend. Both Haru and Asako are over the moon with the thought of spending the weekend with friends. Shizuku notices this but is still wondering about why Haru doesn’t want her to like him. The day of chicken coop is upon us and Asako and Souhei make it to the batting cage first. They see a shady person looking getting a chunk of money from Misawa. Asako is very confused on what just happened but Souhei greets Misawa warmly as he comes to the batting cage often. Souhei tries to teach Asako how to play ball. Haru shows up and Shizuku is the last to show up in granny clothes. They all travel to the store where Asako and Haru argue over buying a premade dog house for the chicken. Souhei and Shizuku go inside to actually buy supplies.

A couple in the making?
While looking at supplies Shizuku runs to Haru’s old “friends”. They decide that they need to speak to her. Both Souhei and Shizuku decide that they want to cause trouble. They try to run away but Shizuku moves at the speed of slow. Souhei gets Haru’s attention and he manhandles the guys and they run away. They make Asako buy the supplies alone and Souhei will join her to help carry the supplies. That leaves Haru and Shizuku alone. Shizuku wants to talk about why Haru is happy that she took back her confession but he wants to talk about why Shizuku agreed to do this chicken coop thing without a fight. She has no good answer and onward they go to build the coop. They soon realize they suck at manual labor. Haru goes to borrow Misawa’s chainsaw and the “friends” show up again. Despite being beat up they STILL want to try to talk to Shizuku. Apparently all they wanted to talk about was making up with Haru. They realized they were bad friends and want to apologize. Shizuku is like…well it is nice you want to apologize but he might not accept it. Still the boys try when Haru comes back. Shizuku even adds the boys are so sorry they are going to build the coop. Haru is overwhelmed by sparkles and friendship and soon there is a military like chicken coop.

That is exactly the participating I would have contributed.
The chicken likes his house and everything is a success. Haru walks Shizuku home and is still happy about all this friendship. He is sparkling and Shizuku confesses that she loves him again. She wants to know why he wasn’t happy with her confession and he says it is because he doesn’t think he loves her the way she loves him and he doesn’t want her to leave because of that. Shizuku decides she understands that and promises she won’t confess again until Haru confesses first. Haru is touched…until he gets a text from Misawa saying that a person named Yuuzan is arriving home. Haru then tells Shizuku they need to spend the night somewhere. Shizuku thinks naughty things but Haru really just doesn’t want to go home. She takes him to her house where her father almost loses his mind. There is eating dinner and bathing antics but generally Shizuku is all blushy face. At the batting cage Misawa greets Yuuzan. Yuuzan comments that Haru is a coward for not being there and it is revealed that Yuuzan looks just like Haru. THE END!

Oh that is so harsh. :(
It feels like forever since I saw this nutty show. How long has it been? Oh the antics of a young girl and boy falling in love and raising a chicken. Add in some new friends and we got ourselves a happy little romance/slice of life show. Ain’t no one stuck in a computer or surrounded by lying adults with crazy powers. Refreshing yes?
Photobucket
Ah yes. So much lying on your face right now!
Shizuku…is sorta special. I did joke that this show should have ended last episode. We already had both people confessing their feelings to each other. But now there is a reason for the show to continue. Shizuku was like HAHA just kidding. No really I was kidding right? She really did seem caught up on the moment with her smiles and carefree attitude. Maybe she had a moment of insanity and was trying to backpedal. Or she was just embarrassed and was blaming it on that. Either way Shizuku was taking back her confession. The plot can continue folks!
Photobucket
You are very lucky you didn't get stabbed.
I think it really surprised her the way Haru acted after the fact. She shouldn’t be given how random Haru has been up until this point but still. She was assuming Haru would be overjoyed at that news as were the viewers. So for him to say oh I am glad and to smile about it…I am surprised Shizuku didn’t throw him off the roof. Granted she just said something that had the potential to hurt his feelings too. Just…he confessed so one would think he would react positively to the confession and sad to the taking back of the confession. Him just smiling and acting like it was okay was confusing and given how silly and crazy Haru makes Shizuku…I am surprised he survived.

Hello new main character.
I am guessing that Souhei is a main character now? He says hi to Shizuku in the library and offers to adopt a chicken and he is a part of the crew? I don’t know about you people but I have a hard time making friends. XD Maybe it is just me though….but yeah I don’t think I could be all woohoo time to play baseball and raise chickens after such a brief time. Everyone in animes must be so lonely. Seems as if Souhei is going to get his wish and learn more about the weird person that is Haru.
Photobucket
Time to start drinking!
I do feel bad for the teacher. Why do I think now that this misfits have made friends her life is going to get much harder? She had someone who barely came to school and now she has a gang of 4 who wants to build a chicken coop on school property? Why did they say yes anyway, the people in charge of the school? Because at this school there are adults in charge at the school, not crazy teenagers running people over with cars. Are they going to get one chicken because that sounds awfully lonely.
Photobucket
Doing things as friends?! Sign me up!
So anyway it is decided that these 4 nutbags are going to build a coop. Haru and Asako were practically losing their little minds at the thought of going out on the weekend with friends. It was sad and fun to watch at the same time. So happy yet they should have had that excitement all their lives. :( Poor friendless kids. I think that Souhei has other friends and just is along for the ride. And Haru was right, Shizuku not protesting about the chicken coop thing was weird.
Photobucket
Yep that's the house folks! Buy it!
The trip to the store was interesting. I see that Asako and Haru are bonding over being weird. Or maybe not. I am slightly lazy myself when it comes to manual labor. But I would have bought a dog house or doll house and called it a day too. Because I am awesome. I was actually wondering why Shizuku was in the spray paint section. Like why don’t you build this coop first before you paint it.
Photobucket
Everyone is misunderstanding things!
The store trip got even more interesting as Haru’s old “friends” were hanging out there. I think that things were a bit overdramatic between Shizuku and that group. She really misunderstood the situation. Granted last time they did get a bit..rough with her but this time they said they wanted to talk and it turned into run and throw spray pain and throwing people. I wanted to laugh at Shizuku for running to slow and then I remembered I can’t climb stairs without getting winded.
Photobucket
I would have been like um hell no!
I guess the point I was trying to make was that after the rough treatment the boys got in the store I don’t understand why they were so forgiving later when they saw Shizuku by the not coop. I would have been like PAYBACK! But putting all that mess aside it was nice that they realized they really hurt Haru and needed to apologize. And it was nice that the main guy in this group (Kenji) realizes how Shizuku feels. The gentle teasing was necessary I think. Not sure why I think it was necessary but hey…look there Haru is sparkling because he has friends!
Photobucket
Um...I think this makes sense...I think.
After the coop was made it was time to walk home. Haru’s previous sparkling got to Shizuku and once again she needed to confess. Like I love you I give up. Your smile is too much for me to handle. I am not sure if I buy what Haru is trying to sell me. He was happy Shizuku took back her confession at the beginning of the episode because he is worried that he doesn’t love her in the same way? I mean…that almost makes sense. Haru really doesn’t know what love is and Shizuku said that much to him when he confessed. But to smile that she took it back? Like shouldn’t he be trying to find out what love really is so he can actual love her and now whatever he is going through right now. In a twisted way it did make sense and I think Shizuku understood that. So as long as she is okay I guess it is okay? They do deserve each other at the very least. XD
Photobucket
Is Haru desperate for friends because his brother is cruel to him?
So right after this conversation takes place Haru gets a text message from the guy who runs the game center (whose name is so long we will be using the Misawa portion of it). Apparently someone named Yuuzan was on his way home and that meant Haru didn’t want to be there. At the end of the episode it turns out that this Yuuzan person is Haru’s twin. Or a brother that looks just like him. HMMM why doesn’t Haru want to spend time with his brother? Is this the reason for all the hurt? Me thinks yes.
Photobucket
Your little is all grown up and bringing boys home. Life is over.
So since Haru can’t go home it is slumber party at Shizuku’s house time! I thought Shizuku’s dad was going to lose his mind. Like no my daughter can’t be discovering boys! Haru was special with the dinner being served to him and Shizuku was special with the aspect of a naked guy being in her house. So overall everyone was special. WOOHOO FOR HAPPY!
Photobucket
Run Shizuku Run!
I guess there is still room in the romance department. I do think it is a bit backtracking for Haru to claim he doesn’t really know what love is. But I guess I can honor the fact that he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings. Well or hurt himself if she ends up leaving because of her hurt feelings. Are we sure Haru isn’t a robot? Oh well…at least the chicken is happy. Or not homeless.
