Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de episode 2

Silent!!!!!!! I am the fearless leader, here me roar!

WEEEE post number 4. Of course given how long I went without posting that might not be something to brag about. But for now I still have things in the queue and I will worry about catching up when....well when I find time to catch up. Up now is Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de episode 2. Spoilers for misunderstandings and crazy names.

Yeah you pretty much suck at this task.

Episode Summary: Jurai has gathered all the club members together for something super important. Tomoyo is yelled at for showing her visible boredom. Jurai says that they all agreed to pick super hero names and Tomoyo needs to fall in line. Tomoyo points out that Jurai basically forced everyone’s hand into this insanity but Jurai is not deterred. All the girls set to work on picking a name that is perfect for them based on their abilities and personalities. Hatoko is rather boring with picking colors and putting them in front of her name. Jurai is like no go on those names. Sayumi is next to show off her skills in name picking and most of hers have the word Princess in them and have to do with fairy tales. Jurai is impressed and seems to think she put a lot of effort in her names. He does question why a mature woman like Sayumi would pick cute Princess names and not something along the lines like Queen. Sayumi gets embarrassed and/or mad and stomps away to the bathroom. Chifuyu is next in the name presenting procession. Her first name is something stupid, like Strawberry Strawberry or something. Her other names are things like Pineapple or words that imply something bad is happening in her home life. Tomoyo is last to show her name off and Jurai is moved to tears at how amazing her name is. He goes on and on and embarrasses her. They are interrupted when Mirei walks in to tell them to keep it down. Everyone knows she is using the noise as an excuse to come in for something else. Mirei is like I have business with Jurai today. Apparently he left a love letter in her locker and she is here to respond to said letter by confessing her love to the boy as well. Jurai is like whaaaaa while all the other girls have daggers in their eyes and anger in their hearts. Tomoyo is the first to voice her concerns and Mirei accuses her of being in love with Jurai as well. When Tomoyo blushes and denies it Mirei is like well then mind your business. Jurai tries denying all of this so Mirei pulls out the note and starts reading. She goes on and on for about 5 hours which is amazing since this is a 22 minute show. Jurai is like…I was trying to give her a name based on her power and she mistook the word Robber for Lover. Mirei is like I love you too so lets date. Tomoyo tries to rally the troops to take out Mirei but they are all so upset over this develop they have lost their minds. Mirei tells Tomoyo not to be jealous over her small boobie size verses Mirei’s breast size which causes Tomoyo to use her power against Mirei. Mirei of course steals them and Jurai has to sweet talk the girl into giving them back.

But but...it was in my shoe locker.....and a word that looks like Love.....how can this be?!?!

The next day Mirei waits for Jurai after class hoping to spend time with the boy. She ends up just walking him to his club room but is all happy and flowery about the situation. Jurai is like oh boy I need to stop this somehow, especially when he learns what her email is. All the girls were waiting for Jurai to arrive to the club room but when he walks in they all enter a state of ignoring him or being so pissed off at him he shouldn’t really talk to him anyway. Jurai asks Tomoyo if she is jealous which was the wrong thing to do. Eventually Sayumi becomes the mature one and points out that Jurai really isn’t doing anything wrong and that they should come up with a plan to help the boy let Mirei down. Jurai then has a mature moment and decides this is something he needs to do on his own as he created the problem. He finds Mirei after school and explains that it wasn’t a love letter but a letter giving her a name for her super power. Mirei gets embarrassed ad pretends that she never really liked Jurai anyway, she was just going along with him. Jurai sees the tears and keeps on apologizing because he really does feel bad. Mirei makes an excuse to leave and runs into walls because of her tears. Jurai feels super bad so Tomoyo walks up to make Jurai feel even worse about making a girl cry. But Tomoyo admits it really was Mirei who was going on and assuming things. Tomoyo asks why Jurai picked such a confusing name to begin with. It turns out Jurai had a reason for it. He wanted the character count and what to match, based on Japanese characters. He felt bad that Mirei must have felt so alone when she had powers and no one else while everyone else was together. Tomoyo smiles even though she still thinks Jurai is a chunni or whatever. They almost have a moment but decide to go home instead. Mirei texts Jurai that night with a different email signifying that things will probably be okay between the two of them. THE END!

Also this episode had a lot of words and terms that might have been easier to understand if I were Japanese.

Despite the fact that I have been going through a blogging slump I did enjoy watching this episode…like a million years ago. Just goofy kids having fun. Playing up certain aspects of magical animes that we all think are rather special while being slightly slice of life. Slightly. Because these kids are still crazy and not much outside of the club room is shown. No walking home and shopping at the corner store in this anime yet.

But I didn't even want to do this task in the first place! Why am I the best?!

No no, we got to focus on some of the more important aspects of being a super hero and having magical powers…..having a magical/superhero name. Now I might be incline to call BS on this whole scenario if I were in a more cynical mood. These kids have had their super powers for 6 months now and have named their attacks or at least their core powers but haven’t come up with a name for themselves individually? I can see still fighting over a group name but how can you name your attack and not yourself?! Just a scene that is cute to show the audience but it reality this should have happened a long time ago, in the 6 months they were waiting for something amazing to happen to them. Especially Jurai and his….8th grade crazy self. He seems to be the kind of crazy who would want to pick names the next day, especially if they are going through the effort of having power checkups and what not.

Chifuyu....is there a reason you are never at home? Do you have parent problems?

However based on what Tomoyo was saying and doing maybe Jurai has brought this name thing up before and each time everyone was like no go away and stop being so weird. Each time Jurai got smarter on how to approach the situation and this time went with Chifuyu who is easily manipulated. Um why is someone’s niece hanging out in a junior high club after school? Where are the parents? Where is the aunt? Chifuyu indeed. Out of everyone Tomoyo was the most against the names. I think as a general rule she hates anything Jurai suggests. If the other girls had suggested it she would have been like oh yeah we do need nicknames. All the other girls were like okay we shall do this. Maybe because going along with Jurai is easier than listening to him whine. And despite it all every girl has a crush on Jurai so they would probably go along with his nonsense anyway. I don’t think Hatoko deserves a lot of time in regards to talking about her nickname. I mean…I think I sorta have a friend like her. Sweet and nice, like a cuddly bunny that is missing part of their brain and sometimes you want to shake some sense into. But then they smile and you know they are actually doing their best and it’s an OHHH moment. So yeah Hatoko…colors. Go you. Also this episode would probably be easier for me to understand if I spoke and read Japanese. So since I don’t a lot of this was lost upon me so yeah.

How dare you say the word cute! Now I must run away in a super cute manner because I can't handle the word cute.

How did the other girls do in picking their super hero names? Turns out Sayumi the mature and quiet one is actually good at this task. She does as Jurai asks and thinks of something that matches her power and has the correct…letters or what not. Like way to go. If you are going to take part in this task you are going to do so seriously, I like that. Jurai made the mistake though of asking why Sayumi was making her name cute instead of mature, like the person she pretends to be. Of course all girls in Japan want to be cute so this embarrasses Sayumi. Like don’t point out that I am trying to be cute when it isn’t working due to how I look. Sorta like if someone asked why are you trying to look sexy Tenchi when clearly I have the body type of a 12 year old boy. So go Jurai for being special. Chifuyu is another one with the names that…I guess she tried but it came off a bit…off. She is right about Jurai’s power name but then the rest of her names were…special. At least the way they are read. Jurai was like okay crazy kid alert and moved onto the last member of the club. The one he thought was going to give him the most problems. I thought that too given how Tomoyo was all RARW about the task. But me and Jurai had to take back those negative thoughts as Tomoyo was the best at the task in Jurai’s eyes. I think even though she protests a lot Tomoyo is the most like Jurai and that is why she picks on him the most. But Jurai was singing her praises and probably was on his way to making her the captain when drama happened. Because this anime has no aliens or enemies yet it has to be real life drama but I guess that’s the best kind of drama.

Put the crazy back in the box, this is not a love letter missy!

See in Jurai attempt to make everyone pick out super hero names he decided to include Mirei in on it too despite the fact she isn’t in the club and tried to steal all of her powers. Of course she was tricked by hanging upside down from a tree dude but she really didn’t start off on the right foot with these people so it is nice that Jurai was trying to include her in this name picking insanity. Now this is where Japanese anime and English Speaking Tenchi have to stop and think about what is going on and meet together in the middle. I am going to assume that Jurai used the English word ROBBER which would be hard to pronounce in Japanese which is what lead to the confusion on Mirei’s part. Like Lover? Jurai leaves a note in my locker which is love letter rule number one and he uses the word Lover as my super hero name. Clearly he is asking me out so I will bust into the club room and declare my love for him as well with no explanation whatsoever as she thought everything was cut and dry.

Well if I have to give that mean girl back her powers I will...for you love!

This obviously did not go over well with anyone. Mirei just coming in and saying she loves him back in front of all the girls is a bold move let alone in a place like Japan. Given that all the other girls like Jurai and he is the only guy in this club I am surprised that Mirei was alive by the end of the episode. The obvious pairing for Jurai is with Tomoyo what with her blushes and hating on him the most. So when she has the biggest protests and anger problems Mirei was ready for this as I think she knows the girl is her biggest competition. Mirei started off okay with decent ammo. Like um if you don’t like Jurai then you have no reason to be commenting on this situation. But then Mirei was all talking about busts sizes and what not and I was giving her side eye. I would have gone Tomoyo on her too and tried using my powers because some of us can’t help but look like 12 year old boys okay! The others were upset with this confession as well but the person who was the quietest about it was Jurai who probably should have been the loudest about it. Instead he just stood there and allowed the insanity to happen. I guess him explaining the names to the other girls IN FRONT of Mirei does count as an explanation but since Mirei didn’t hear any of it due to the fact that she is a permanent citizen of LALAland I think Jurai could have done a bit more.

Your love is just so....overwhelming...

Since Jurai is in shock that this life is turning into a harem anime instead of a super natural one he gets to deal with the consequences of it the next day. Mirei has morphed into a level headed Student Council President or whatever she is into a love sick puppy and the entire school sees it. But I guess people can have different sides to them and if that makes her happy who cares who sees. Of course it would be best if the other person in the lovely dovey relationship wanted to be in it as well. Also Mirei….for next time….just….settle down with the eagerness. She might have thought that Jurai had taken the major step with the L word so she was free to express her feelings that she might have had for a while but the email was just a lot at once. Just dial it about a few notches..or a million. A million notches would be good. Jurai just sorta smiled and laughed nervously for all of this while mouthing help to the viewers. Gotta tell the girl who you feel or this is going to go on forever. Girl might be crazy but you not saying anything isn’t really helpful.

Be nice to me or the plushie gets it!

Jurai arrives at the club room either expecting to find help for his situation or at least a temporary reprieve from the insanity. But the club girls are like um no we invented insanity so you better just walk outside now if you want to be left alone in peace. Because we are all in love with you because we are girls. Girls and guys cannot be friends because the world as we know it would shatter into pieces. So everyone must be upset that Jurai accidentally wrote a love letter to someone that isn’t them. Tomoyo was pretty upset as she has the most feelings for the boy. Hatoko probably couldn’t really be upset at someone to save her life as she had to keep telling the kid she was ignoring him. Sayumi was…..probably pretty immature given her usual standards but not too bad in the grand scheme of things. And Chifuyu is a child so expecting much from her would be silly. But she did give it a good go. Like let me make my plushie to the mean Jurai instead. Doesn’t really work though when Jurai takes said plushie away. FOILED! But did try.

A little help here guys?

Sayumi was the first one to stop being mad and to see the situation for what it was…Jurai is dumb. And that he was just trying to give the girl a nickname and she took it way too far. So now they need to work together and figure out how to get Jurai out of this mess. Which is where I thought the episode was going. But then Jurai surprised me. Like legit surprised me. I thought was going to ask the girls for help and it was going to turn into this comic battle for the boy and backfire in his face. Instead Jurai had a super mature moment, which is amazing considering how the girls usually comment on how immature he is. He realizes that he accidentally created this problem so he needs to be the one to finish it. He has accidentally led on a girl and he needs to just tell her point blank the truth. No games or silliness…just the truth. Wow Jurai. How quickly boys can change. X___X Are we sure he is male? I kid I kid…maybe.

Err I can see that you are handling this news well.....

Jurai wastes no time in breaking the news to Mirei which is good because any further leading on would just be cruel to the girl you know? I think Jurai might be a boy he isn’t stupid and realized how upset and embarrassed this would make Mirei. So he was super apologetic and did some deep bowing to the girl where he explained SLOWLY so she could hear him…it was a misunderstanding involving his superhero nickname for her. Of course Mirei tried to play it all off like a joke, that she only was trying to save him from embarrassment and going along with the love letterness. Both knew this was a lie so Jurai apologized more which made Mirei more upset. I think they were both handling it as expected and all Mirei really could do at that point is go home and cry. Jurai did the right thing but no matter what it was going to hurt. Poor Jurai, being the mature one is hard.

Well....as long as you weren't being a brat about it or anything....

Tomoyo rounds the stairwell to give Jurai some crap. Well to encourage him a bit but also to give him some crap because she has an image to uphold after all. Yes he made Mirei cry but she is the one who really read the letter wrong. Tomoyo then asks why Jurai picked such a hard name for Japanese people anyway when many other words could have done the trick. This is where Japanese characters and meanings came in, Jurai wanting them all to match so the previously loner Mirei could feel a part of the group. So while Tomoyo might be shaking her head at Jurai all the time…she knows he is a nice guy. Even if he is a bit crazy. Mirei seems to be doing okay by the end of the episode so I think this will all blow over. Including the names. I doubt they will use them at all. XD I am sure something else will happened next episode and the names will be long gone. At least they had 15 minutes of fun yes?

New Anime Series: Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de episode 1

This anime might be a little short of common sense but Jurai brings a whole lot of...drama I see. XD

Post number 4 of the night. Not that it matters because the computer will post it wherever it wants to. Stupid technology always getting the best of me. I was hoping to have the Molestation of Ange or you know Cross Ange up tonight but I got too distracted on how amazing it was to have the jerk voted off Survivor or one of the other things I was doing tonight. Tomorrow for sure...I hope anyway. But for now you get another new show called Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de. Episode one did not contact anyone being molested or treated like garbage so yay! Instead we got super powers and super over the top acting drama. XD Have fun.

And then no one really cared.

Episode Summary: After school Tomoyo promises to meet her friend Hakoto in the club room after Hakoto is done with cleaning duties. Tomoyo walks on alone, her future self telling us that this day started off as a normal day but little did everyone know things were about to dramatically change. Tomoyo reaches the Literature Club and finds fellow club member Jurai writhing on the floor, holding his arm. He says he is struggling to remain himself before the evil takes over and she needs to run. Tomoyo calmly sits down and ignores him which hurts Jurai’s feelings. He thinks that others in the club like his antics but Tomoyo says no one is impressed with his chunnibyou (2nd year middle school) behavior. Jurai vows to prove her wrong by doing the antics in front of the other club members. Hakoto is the first victim and she believes his story and calls an ambulance. Jurai tries a different approach but ends up scaring the crap out of a little girl (Chifuyu) and he feels bad about it. Another club member Sayumi shows Jurai just how much she doesn’t appreciate his show. Tomoyo tries to point out that no one likes when Jurai acts like this and she doesn’t know how he can do this every single day. She ends up using the phrase common sense that seems to trigger something in Jurai, something that is triggered all the time. He goes on and on about how she doesn’t know for a shadow of a doubt it isn’t possible and blah blah blah. There was actually a lot of blah blah and the rest of the club seems used to it. While he questions whether or not it is possible for an evil force to take over his arm…..his arm starts to glow. Everyone is like X_____X as the room fills with bright light and….it’s 6 months later. Tomoyo leaves Hakoto to take care of cleaning duties as she goes to the club room. She arrives to find Jurai on the ground talking about his evil arm and telling her to run again. She tells him to be quiet as other clubs have been complaining about the loud noises coming from their club room thanks to him. Plus since they are part of that world (PART OF YOUR WOOOOOOOORLD) it is no longer funny. Hakoto is Jurai’s next victim but she panics at the idea he is suffering and uses magic to trap him in a water bubble. Before he can drown Tomoyo freezes time and removes him from the bubble. Chifuyu uses some sort of magic and poofs into the room. She tells Jurai he needs to stop causing people problems. Sayumi comes in and does some sort of magic to Jurai, telling him to keep it down because of noise complaints. Then she explains it is time for their monthly checkup on their magic powers.

Tomoyo might not be totally cool, calm, and collected, like she pretends to be.

Hakoto and Chifuyu are up first with this magical power exam. Chifuyu can create matter and space, including the area they are in now separate from the club room. Hakoto can control the 5 elements. They battle for a while and it includes LAVA. Tomoyo freezes time when the battle gets too much and separates the two. They thank her for the effort until they realize she is being a bit chunnibyou herself as she is a bit flashy with her powers. Sayumi uses her powers next, which are to brings people/things back to their previous state AKA heal them. They then conclude the 6th powers test and Jurai is like hello what about me?! All the girls exchange glances as they don’t think his power is all that great. He insists on having a turn when there is a knock on the club room door. They scramble to make things look normal as Mirei the student council president walks in. She is here to tell everyone about the noise complaints because apparently Jurai hasn’t heard this enough. Instead of apologizing Jurai accuses Mirei of being…well a baddie, using the noise complaint as an excuse to spy on them. He demands to know her true purpose. Tomoyo and the others smack Jurai and apologize for him being stupid. Mirei is shocked and demands to know how Jurai figured it out. All the girls are like….how the heck was Jurai right as Mirei goes on about how she has been spying on them and their magical powers. Jurai pretends to roll with this as if he knew she had powers too. Mirei refuses to reveal more unless they battle together. Jurai gets cocky and says he will battle her first and the rest of the club is like…oh but your lame powers…Still Jurai gets all pumped up and Mirei readies herself, even when Jurai messes up his attack summon. He continues to talk up his power and how he has to go through great lengths to protect others when he summons this blue flame thing in his hand. Mirei is like haha you showed me and uses her power to steal his. Jurai cries about his stolen powers as Mirei analyzes and realizes the other club members are right…this is totally useless in battle. Tomoyo tells the other girls not to use their powers as Mirei can only steal it once she has seen it. Sayumi threatens to kick Mirei’s butt the old fashion way. Mirei gives in easily and leaves, giving back Jurai’s power. The rest of the club talks about how Mirei confesses she received her power stealing power about a month ago and freaked out, fearing she was different and people would find out about her. Then a week ago she got a text saying the Literature Club was full of people who had powers so Mirei was curious and afraid. So the club knows that Mirei didn’t give them their powers but who did? Who sent Mirei that text message? Outside hanging from a tree is a dude looking and acting suspicious so I would go with him. THE END!

We can break the mold without being in your face about it.

Despite this show sounding like a bunch of craziness…it was funny craziness. This anime isn’t going to change the world and it knows it. This anime knows what it is without being over the top about it. Like look at us we are going to completely going to go against the grain and break the 4th wall and make banners making fun of our own genre. It doesn’t go that far. It is somewhere in between I think. Tongue and cheek without being so obvious? A nice little fluffy show for my fluffy eyes.

Do I look stoic enough? Hit my marks?

This show starts off like any other show in this genre. Two friends talking to each other, hammering home the fact that in Japan kids are responsible for cleaning the schools because subliminal messaging. One girl promises to catch up later as the other goes to the club room. A happy and simple school life this girl Tomoyo reports in as she looks stoically at the tree in the distance. Quick let me pause as this scene is a must in all slice of life/magical shows as a life changing moment. There is no going back, the past is in the past THROW THE CROWN. This is the moment where everything changes. Kiss your normal life goodbye Tomoyo, your carefree days are over.

This word was used 1,967 times in this episode and I had no clue what it meant.

Tomoyo arrives at the club room to find fellow club member Jurai acting like a weird kid. Because that is what boys do. I didn’t feel as if his behavior was that annoying…but if he does this every single day (as we see the same scene 6 months later) I can see Tomoyo just walking to her spot and ignoring him. He was pretty funny though. Apparently there is a confusing term for what he was doing though folks. And I thought that maybe I could find out what this term means if I kept watching the episode. Note to all folks…the term is never explained. Because this show is made for Japanese people. So the word that Jurai was being was called chunnibyou. According to urban dictionary this is a real term for a phase in a teenagers life. Because calling kids douchebags is still. Mainly it is the phrase when people think they are invincible or their lives are so boring they need to make up crazy stores to make the time go by. I am not sure why this term needed to be used a million times or why this is the first time I have ever heard it. If this is the case than many of the protagonist in animes are this word. This seems to be Jurai’s thing though so you know…..Also these kids are apparently junior high kids, not high school kids like I thought. Maybe Jurai being this word would be more important if he was in 11th grade and still acting like an 8th grader?

No matter what this kid does he is rather...special about it.

Jurai attempting to show Tomoyo that everyone loves his antics is how we are introduced to the rest of the Literature Club. By the way in all the animes I have watched in my life I don’t think I have ever seen the Literature Club actually do Literature Club things. I am beginning to think that this is a fake club entirely, that it is sanctioned by the school for a catch all for insane people who are contained in one club instead of being spread out through the school. Like um you are best suited for…a club that is supposed to sit around and read books. Yeah BOOKS. So Jurai and his evil self taking over himself. The cleaning girl Hakoto is the first to suffer his wrath. Despite the fact that Jurai has done this a million times before Hakoto still believes him and attempts to call for help. It would have been funnier if she knew he was going to freak out over her call and she made a fake one instead. That was not the case so I guess she is just a ditz. The next victim is some random shortie from the local elementary school that is allowed to show up at this middle school? Chifuyu freaks out with the addition of the blood to the routine and the last girl Sayumi seems rather protective of this random member of their club. Like back up off her.

Wait this wasn't part of my schtick!

So everyone suffers from Jurai’s joke and he still holds out hope that people like him making things interesting. Tomoyo is like see, all of us are telling you this behavior is not acceptable and you need to accept reason, common sense. I would argue that maybe Jurai is acting this way because he is the only boy in this club and he needs attention from all the ladies. Look at me I am cute and dateable. And if you don’t want to date me I will tease you forever. Anyway common sense and reason…them be fighting words. How dare someone bring up to Jurai that there is no possible way an evil force will take over his arm one day. This speech also sounds like something the rest of the club has heard a million times before as their eyes started to glaze over. This might be how they open their club meetings everyday. Like okay Jurai has had his moment, time to…read. Only this time something actually started to happen. As Jurai went on and on about magical powers…something magical started to happen to his hand. I am not sure what the girls thought was going on. Maybe that Jurai increased his prank budget or something. Whatever the case may be the room is slowly filling with something….something and it is going to affect everyone and….

See, life hasn't changed much at all.

6 months later. Because seeing all the details is silly folks. And it appears not much has changed. Tomoyo still goes to the club room alone while Hakoto stays behind to do her classroom cleaning duty. Jurai is still being annoying when anyone opens the club room door. No one seems to care about his antics or overreacts to them. The word chunnibyou is still used a lot. The only thing that has changed is….everyone has magical powers. Instead of calling for an ambulance Hakoto tries to save Jurai with her magic. Tomoyo stops time to rescue Jurai from said magic. Instead of climbing through windows elementary school student Chifuyu uses some magic to poof into the room. And while adding to the dogpile of Jurai is so loud we get complaints mantra Sayumi…does something. I don’t know what.

Usually check ups means a bad thing but everyone seems rather chipper about it. XD

But yes folks life hasn’t really changed despite the fact something life changing DID happen. When Jurai started to glow it didn’t just affect him. It affected everyone in the room. 6 months ago all of them developed magical powers with different degrees of amazingness. But it has been 6 months and…nothing really has happened. Unlike every other anime on the face of the planet. Usually people get magical powers right before, during, or right after something very dramatic happening. Like oh snap aliens are here. Invaders from another dimension. Killer robots. Something happens and a person with powers gives the previous normal person powers and they are thrust into a whole new world of chaos and uncertainly. Not so much this show. They got magical powers and…they still go to school and hang out in the liar Literature Club. I feel as if many of their feelings and expectations could be summed up in a Disney song but they didn’t go that far.

Maybe a little too prepared?

Instead they are trying to make the best of it. Or at least be prepared when the moment does come that their lives will change forever. They will train and practice with their new powers so they will be ready for anything that may come their way. Chifuyu seems to have the best power out of any of these kids and the one that is the least define. She can create anything including another dimension so that this practice can happen. Seems pretty much a given she is the strongest magic user they have now. Hakoto ain’t no slouch either with being able to control all 5 elements. Plus she is able to combine the elements together as if they are recipe ingredients. Instant magma. Tomoyo has the ability to control time going forward. No going back in time for her but she makes up for that in terms of showmanship. Gotta make things interesting you know. Sayumi is another that is a bit questionable. I am sure if anyone was actually injured or if something was actually broken it would have been more interesting to watch. But all in all these 4 girls seem to have pretty cool powers and if something does come their way they would be able to kick some serious butt. But when it comes to Jurai and him practicing his powers the girls are like…meh why bother? Yeah I am sure the person most hyped about getting powers is going to take that lying down. Prepare to be amazed!

I'm Batman!

Or interrupted by student council president Mirei because I don’t think Jurai has been yelled at enough about being loud and annoying. No no he needs to be yelled at some more. It is a good thing that Mirei ends up being magical too as the club wasn’t that smooth on come back from this other dimension. Like err everyone just saw that. But instead of taking this new yelling at lying down Jurai keeps on going with his crazy self. He didn’t get to practice his powers yet so he went full chunnibyou on Mirei, claiming she was spying on them and was really out to get them. HAHA I shall make a scene because I am a crazy boy and that is what I do. And if this was a real fantasy anime it would be true, you would be the enemy.

Foiled already? Jurai is way too smart!

As Jurai’s club members beat him for being so off with his insanity….Mirei pales and demands to know how Jurai knows she has magical powers. Say what? Jurai and his insane self was…right? By accident of course but Jurai has an image to keep up so he kept rolling with the situation despite not having anything besides the initial accusation. Mirei keeps on talking and talking getting herself in more trouble and revealing things that no one really knew. She has been spying on the Literature Club and probably made up the complaints as an excuse to investigate them. They have powers and she wants to see them. And she is not giving up any more info until they agree to battle. Sounds suspicious so why not? Since Jurai didn’t get a chance to use his powers earlier he decided he will take on Mirei which makes everyone groan. Next time I think the girls need to veto Jurai and his man pride just in case there is some real danger. I know they aren’t used to the massive amounts of evil or magical things in their life so far but that should be their next test. Picking up on iffy situations and sending out the right person for the problem.

And when we find out who sent the messages...Jurai you are not going to handle it.

For now Jurai wants to use his powers. And since everything else is going their way it is for the best that the weakest member of the group was sent out as Mirai’s ability is to steal the ability of others. It looks like Jurai either has a weak power or no one knows how to use it properly because for now it is all flash and no substance. It doesn’t stop Jurai from having a cry over the loss of his power but never fear, there are other girls with powers. Well Tomoyo advises no one to use said powers as Mirei is a power stealer so it is up to Sayumi to lay down the pain the old natural way. From there Mirei breaks like a fortune cookie, that she randomly got powers a month ago and she was scared out of her mind. A mysterious text message told her the Literature Club was full of power people so…that is why she was there. Given that she is in the opening and closing I am going to guess Mirei is going to be easily forgiven. She did give Jurai back his power but then again…maybe it wasn’t worth stealing. Instead the club (once Jurai dries his eyes) focuses on who sent Mirei this text message and why people are spontaneously given powers. Well they might not have to wonder too much longer as some dude hanging upside down in a tree apparently sent Mirei on purpose to the crew. A power user too but does he give out powers? Did he give it to the Literature Club? Are things actually going to become interesting for the crew and they needed to wait one more day before complaining that life hasn’t really changed? That would make the synopsis for this show a lie but I guess we will have to stick around to find out if that is the case. Until next time! XD
