Kore wa Zombie desu ka episode 3

So like…if you are a government agency you should take your government’s money right? Like….if you didn’t that would be the stupidest thing ever right? So like….when I went today to get a passport and they wouldn’t accept cash it’s my right to think that is total bull right? Because apparently I was supposed to bring a money order or turn into a 75 year old lady who still has checks. REALLY PEOPLE. REALLY.

Someone obviously doesn’t want me to go to Japan. Screw them.

Photobucket

THEY'RE ALL GOING TO LAUGH AT YOU!!!

To keep up the theme of SPECIAL today let’s blog Kore wa Zombie desu ka episode 3. I am sure it will be amazing. Spoilers for panties and bowling balls.



Photobucket

We doubt the amazingness of this episode.

Episode Summary: Haruna is having a dream of being an awesome magical girl. But one of the monsters turns into her favorite pudding and she is heartbroken that she can’t eat it. When she fails to wake up the alarm morphs into an angry chicken thing and drills a hole into her head. Ayumu makes breakfast for his super great harem and goes to school. Haruna is still thinking about pudding and goes to snatch the last one in the fridge. Only Eucliwood is like BITCH that is my pudding snack. Or something like that. The girls decide to battle for the pudding cup. Only they are so awesome at everything in the world all the games end in a tie. They later decide to go out to eat on Ayumu’s dime.

Photobucket

Pay no attention to the man under the umbrella.

At school Ayumu is forced to live under an umbrella as it is a nice day outside. He watches every girl in class turn down his friend Orito who has free tickets to go bowling. Ayumu agrees to go with him even though doing so will alienate him from the girls. Orito continues to be stupid when they go to Mcdonalds when he doesn’t see the beauty in ugly masks. At the bowling alley Ayumu has a heart attack as his harem is there bowling away. Orito is like WHOA hot babes and has perverted fantasies about them. Ayumu tries to hide and cover up the fact that he knows the girls but they all trot over and blow his cover. Orito is obviously distraught over the fact his friend lives with hotties. After crying tears of sorrow Orito is like well then you got to visit my friend who is in love with you too as a way to make things up. But Ayumu wants to go anyway as he learns the girl (Kyoko) was a victim of the serial killer. They get to the room and the small talk is really dumb. Once Orito is out of the room Ayumu questions Kyoko on the killer and is all X___X to hear Kyoko describe Eucliwood. Eucliwood is busy eating her pudding cup as Haruna and Sera battle for it. THE END.

WELL THEN FOLKS!

No one got their head bitten off in this episode so I declare it….not as spectacular as other animes. And since Ayumu got cut in half in the first episode that might be more epic if it wasn’t Kore wa Zombie desu ka.

Photobucket

Also Eucliwood getting a different voice each week is special too.

This episode was “special” none the less. Such special moments included the girls fighting over a pudding cup. Now I am not sure why there was fighting when someone’s ( Eucliwood) name was written on the cup. Like rules are rules, even if you are a made up character in an anime. You don’t mess with people’s food, especially their dessert. But yeah there was fighting over a pudding cup. Instead of going out to BUY pudding cups for all. Because if they were going to spend money on take out and bowling why couldn’t they buy more pudding cups? WHY PEOPLE!

Photobucket

BRA PLEASE!

This episode was also special because Haruna now has clothes. Not sure why she didn’t have clothes last episode but now she does. Just POOF. Maybe now that she has clothes she can go to the store and buy a bra? JUST SAYING.

This episode was also super special because Orito takes Ayumu to meet a girl (Kyoko). Oh that was a whole sentence. Not Orito is this girl’s next door neighbor or was a childhood friend or something. No no, this girl is like a sister to Orito and she happens to be in love with Ayumu and Ayumu has no idea who she is. And neither do I. But the writers made sure I knew Kyoko had big boobies. BACK STORIES DO NOT MATTER.

Sera really hasn’t developed as an important character. Seems to me she is just there to be the girl with huge boobies. And hate Ayumu more than Haruna. But I guess she is necessary so Haruna has someone to talk to. Hmm people hmm.

Photobucket

The drink of losers.

I do like that Orito is a loser freak. Usually it is the main character who is a loser freak and the best friend is either a loser freak with him or one who gives advice to help out mainy. But no, Orito is wrong about everything and I enjoy that in a man. Even if I agree those masks were ugly and girls wouldn’t like them. So him freaking out that Ayumu lives with all hot girls was enjoyable and he probably suffered brain damage from that bowling ball. In short Ayumu totally deserves Orito as a best friend.

Photobucket

Yes....actually no. Do not want.

I think that I enjoy Ayumu not keeping the girls a secret. Usually the main tries to keep the harem a secret and it turns into elaborate plot of hiding them when friends come over and how the harem keeps popping up spoiling the plan. I like how everything is out in the open now and Ayumu will have to suffer the consequences. Or Orito coming over every day and pretending the girls are more amazing than they really are.

Photobucket

Serial killers...not caring about the people they kill? NO WAY XO

The only important thing that happened in this episode was serial victim girl pointing the finger at Kyoko. Not that I would be in the right frame of mind to talk about the person who killed my parents and attacked me but the plot must go on. Kyoko is all like yeah someone with blue eyes stabbed me. Not a GIRL WEARING COSPLAY but a girl with blue eyes. But in any event Ayumu now is thinking OH SNAP by number one girl Eucliwood is a killer. Which probably is not the case but we need some drama okay!

Photobucket

The face of a serial killer.

And if it is Eucliwood maybe Ayumu will get his head bitten off people!! Never give up! That is my motto.

Photobucket

Too cute to eat XO

Oh and I think the pudding monster was the best thing about this episode. The end.

Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitte Iru manga chapters 13-21 screenie review

Okay maybe review is not the right word. More like...I tried to catch up on the manga today and was sad that I couldn't find anything beyond chapter 21 and decided to blog about it in the hopes that someone will link me to more chapters. But that would not fit in the little title section so I went with review instead.

XD Aren't I special?

Photobucket

Everyone loves bunnies woohoo!!!!!

So since the manga and the anime have closely related plots I thought it would be way too much to review each and every chapter. I went through instead and took screenies of important pictures. AKA pictures of Hotsuma looking hot. XD So while it is not content heavy it might be spoilery for people who have not watched the series or read up to chapter 21.

Thank you random anonymous for commenting on a older post that got me interested in catching up on Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitte Iru manga chapters. XD


Photobucket

Hotsuma running from his parents. Yuki and Hotsuma have a talk and Shuusei sees it. I thought Hotsuma looked positively vulenerable in this picture. He usually tries to talk a big game but he really just needs a HUG.


Photobucket

XO Hotsuma kissing away Yuki’s burn. Where is Luka to take down this delicious show of yaoi? XD


Photobucket

Ah there is Luka. Maybe Luka should be giving Yuki more wrist kisses or something. Hotsuma is getting all the hotties in this series. Also Luka looks a lot angrier in the manga than he did in the anime.


Photobucket

Tsukumo is pretty badass in the anime but I think the manga does a better job of showing how amazing he is. He is really quiet but effective. He eludes a calmness that is necessary in battle. Like hey strange man, things will be okay kind of attitude.


Photobucket

The anime got it right though leaving this girl out of Hotsuma and Shuusei’s relationship. No one needs whats her face helping the plot along. So yes anime two thumbs up for deleting her from the anime. TWO THUMBS UP.


Photobucket

This scene needs NO CONTEXT. Ignore the context people. It is just Luca explaining to Toko that no, he is never going to hook up with her and she needs to back up off him. That is what I read anyway.


Photobucket

One of the chapter art covers. It just reinforces how CLOSE the two are. As in CANNON people.


Photobucket

Hotsuma looks so devastated when Ashley that Shuusei killed himself. I like how dead Hotsuma’s eyes look, devoid of anything but sorrow. Clearly he needs a hug.


Photobucket

Shuusei isn’t dead folks. He is way too sexy to be dead. I like this picture because…Shuusei is half naked. I think that is all. XD


Photobucket

Just a little love between Hotsuma and Luka. In the middle of a battle they find the time to snip at each other. So beautiful.


Photobucket

Reiga/Kanata looks pretty damn hot in the manga. I think in the anime he had more emotions going on during the battle. The manga he does a better job of pretending he is an asshole. But a hot asshole.


Photobucket

Reiga/Kanata is trying to crush Yuki’s soul. Because Yuki hasn’t been through enough no no, he needs his bestest best friend ever to say he wants him dead. Luka is not having any of that. Luka spends most of his time in the manga and anime standing in front of Yuki doesn’t he….But yes I like this picture because Luka is trying to defend Yuki and say romantic things but Yuki is too out of it to really hear him.


Photobucket

Reiga/Kanata looks very Kanata like in this picture. He looks remorseful, like he is just a victim in all this too and he really doesn’t want to hurt Yuki. That he has regrets and hates hurting Yuki. AW…no hug for you though.


Photobucket

XO How cute is Hotsuma talking to human Sodom? I think the word VERY comes to mind. Because it is super cute.


Photobucket

Maybe I should have named this post the Hotsuma and Shuusei post? But yes Hotsuma looked so….so passionate when telling Shuusei he would never look away from him again. In mangas there are few pages to portray the necessary emotions of the scene. So images like this are powerful as they don’t have as much time to get to the point as they do in animes. Also Hotsuma is hot.


Photobucket

After Yuki has his sad little pity party about Reiga/Kanata, Luka’s questionable loyalty, and basically his whole life sucking…XO CANDY TIME! Because there have been one too many serious topics and conversations going on. We need some fun and nothing says fun better than friendship candy. I want a piece.


Photobucket

Yuki is super awesome at making first impressions! Kuroto is very happy to meet Yuki I can tell.


Photobucket

True love Yuki? BROTHER AND SISTERS?! XO What is wrong with you?! But yes about Hotsuma and Shuusei.


Photobucket

So I am guessing that the anime was already finished when these manga chapters came out because this did not happen in the anime. Everyone going out to get treats and showing Yuki around town. It was more Kuroto is a depressing person and not any happy fun times. But I do see another girl trying to get in the way of my yaoi pairings!



And that is about it. I was hoping to fill my Sunday sick in bed with more chapters but I could not find any more. Is that because the the manga got licensed here in America? If so...I guess I will just have to wait. But if not anyone want to point the way to more chapters for me? XD

Also in case it wasn't obvious team Hotsuma and Shuusei all the way! XD

To Aru Majutsu No Index episode 15

Look at me writing the first part of my blog AFTER the episode. I think I have learned my lesson folks. I have learned my lesson that drain plug things are dangerous. Over a week later folks and this cut is still driving me crazy. X__X

Photobucket

I think many of the guys are now paying attention crazy.

But despite all that and the fact I have used all the tissues in my house it is blogging time. Up today is To Aru Majutsu no Index episode 15. Otherwise known as Nuns with Guns part two.

Spoilers for young girls giving Touma peep shows and towels.



Photobucket

MOG is everyone in love with Touma?

Episode Summary: Agnese and her new outfit are a bit surprised to see Touma and Orsola. She decides to not turn them in and give them a basic rundown of what is going on. They are on some ships who guard the sea AND house prisoners who have been naughty. AKA Agnese and her troops. Agnese agrees to help Touma and Orsola escape. Lucia and Angelene had tried to escape before but had gotten captured. Agnese fears both girls might be permanently harmed so she wants Touma to save them. Agnese will create a diversion as she is concerned a more important inmate and Lucia and Angelene will do the escape spell again. Touma is like okay and when the two go to shake on it Touma accidentally undoes the spell on Agnese’s clothes. Aka makes her naked. After that amazing show of underage flesh Orsola and Touma make their way through the ship. Touma destroys one of the ice guards and Orsola pretends that Touma is stronger than he is to overcome the guards.

Photobucket

Index is never jealous. Never.

After Lucia and Angelene get done going UM why you here they explain what is really going on. Agnese apparently is going off to activate a spell that she thinks will distract people. But in fact it will destroy Venice and it’s history on Earth. X__X Oh okay. There is a brief scene about Agnese’s sad past and how she met Lucia and Angelene at a church orphanage. But before they can escape the main boat fires on them and they sink. But all is well because the Amakusa crew shows up with a wooden submarine. Oh okay. Towel girl is there to tend to Touma’s toweling needs. Saiji explains that he used Touma to get rid of Lucia and Angelene’s spells (and clothes) and now Index is mad. This leads to a big fight and Touma landing on Towel Girl’s boobies. Finally things are discussed and plans are made to rescue Agnese. The main boat tries to fight off the attack but they quickly find out everything was a decoy and everyone boarded another ship. Only Agnese’s former nuns have not gotten the notice that Touma was on their side and attack everyone. Angelene is injured trying to protect a fellow nun when the main ship then attacks them. THE END!

Please bear (bare? I always get that confused) with me. I think I understood about half of what was going on in this episode. Way too many churches and people for me to keep track of. X__X Roman Catholic, Angelica Catholic, Catholics who make paper into wood. Where are my Mexican Catholics at in all of this though?! XO

Photobucket

Although she could have punched him back since she had the edge....

I am glad there was reasoning behind Agnese talking to Touma and Touma not running from the crazy nun. Because last time I checked the two were not friends. Something about punching the other and what not. Touma sure does love punching people doesn’t he? XD

But yeah, glad that makes sense. I mean Agnese is using Touma to get her friends off the ship and Touma is…well helping girls out. Because that is what Touma does. But I guess Touma was in a tougher spot than Agnese. He had to trust her friends weren’t going to bit off his head or something. Enough biting this week okay. Even though Agnese is still a crazy little nun of evil I am glad she was able to put aside possible revenge to save her friends. WOOHOO for maturing yes.

Photobucket

Of course people. OF COURSE!!!!

Oh and the naked scene. Right folks. It can’t be a To Aru Majutsu no Index episode without some girl losing her clothes in front of Touma. Naked for all folks. At least it works with the plot, Agnese has magic in her clothes to stop her from using magic. MAKES SENSE. Only why is she going to be wearing the same outfit next week when she uses the spell? HMM FOLKS.

Photobucket

Who the hell comes up with these random and crazy spells?

I am not sure about the whole Queen of the Adriatic Sea fleet business. Like having a floating ship of criminals might not be the smartest idea ever. Even if most of the noncriminals aren’t real (AKA part of the ship) I am not sure how safe that is. Or fair really to the criminals. I do think the nuns with guns should be punished but floating on some ice ship in the middle of nowhere doing…well we don’t know yet do we? Still not really feeling that idea. Too much could go wrong.

Photobucket

Magical plans people. With paper airplanes! XO

Also I thought that the Amakusa clan showing up just in time to save Touma and everyone from drowning was a bit special. A little TOO convenient if you ask me. And why doesn’t anyone ever ask me?! But yeah, getting a special boat to the exact location just in time? Oh yes call me a believer. I only believe in magic and espers okay!

Photobucket

Such an amazing impression she is making on Touma.

Towel girl needs to hurry up and make her move on Touma. First of all…he is a boy. And boys really don’t care about “toweling off”. So he is not looking at what you are doing as some massively awesome favor. B….even if he did care he has a load of other hotties waiting in the wing who are way more helpful and don’t only offer towels to people. STEP UP YO GAME. Also why are the boys allowing her to pursue Touma? Okay allow is a terrible word. But if I was one of those boys and one of the group WITH LIMITED GIRLS was trying to flirt with someone else…I probably step my own game up and hand out some towels. NOTICE ME!!!!

Photobucket

Every spell ever is too complicated for words.

Not really surprised that the spell of too many words has a horrible twist to it. Agnese thinks….well I don’t know what she thought was going to happen? I assume she thought it was going to do something to save the rest of her crew? Take down the ships? Okay now I am even more confused about this. XD So…..yeah. A simple spell is really something massive that will cause massive destruction. TOUMA TO THE RESCUE!!!

Photobucket

Most important part of Agnese's past in my opinion.

Not sure what to think about Agnese’s past. Like why she would be loyal to a church that treated her and the other orphans kids all rotten like. But I guess since she learned to do magic through them that is why she is loyal? Just…I don’t know. She has a messed up life and I guess that is why she is a messed up person.

Photobucket

You all have recovered well from the ear stabbings...

I also don’t know why Agnese’s other nuns are so quick to attack Touma and the gang. Well okay I know why they didn’t trust Touma. XD Obviously. But when they saw Lucia and Angelene they should have stopped their destructive ways and said HEY what is going on here? Asking questions is too hard I guess.

Photobucket

Everyone is so willing to get splatted for someone else in this series.

Next week we will see that all adults in this series suck and the teenagers are the innocent victims. Also if you look really old you are probably evil. Your smile will give it away. XD Hurry Touma and save Venice, my friend wants to go there someday!!!

The Ongoing Adventures of Officer Asshole Part Trowa

So many customer rant stories in January. X__X What a way to start off the year! I promise next month to tone down how many posts I have about EVIL PEOPLE WHO COME TO MY STORE. XD I just wanted to get all this off my chest while it is still relevant and fresh in my mind.

Sadly this will be the last part of this ongoing series. Unless Officer Asshole returns. Then Part Quatre will be AMAZING. Well if I am present it will be amazing. But yes I am almost wishing for a Part Quatre because I want closure. And revenge. As long as I don’t get hit by a car or something.

In any event spoilers for Tenchi accidentally ruining someone’s life?

Also here are Part One and Part Duo in case someone is unfamiliar with what I am talking about or need a refresher since I have a lot of jerk customers. XD

So after being told the exciting events of The Ongoing Adventures of Officer Asshole Part Duo I was waiting. Waiting for Officer Asshole to come in and ask for his discount again. And hoping I would be the person who he asked. BECAUSE I WAS READY.

One morning a bunch of regular police officers came in. In uniform. And didn’t ask for a discount. Because they aren’t assholes. I was in and out doing deliveries but after a few I had a tiny break to ask them a question. A question that would probably explain why Officer Asshole doesn’t come in uniform to get his discount.

I asked one of the officers if one keeps their badge after they retire from the force. Because if so that would explain why Officer Asshole comes in with plain clothes on. Because he doesn’t HAVE a uniform anymore. Momager after the fact says he is too young to be retired. Well in my mind he might not be able to perform the duties of a police officer anymore due to the fact that he looks really out of shape. Or maybe he was injured on the job. In any event there was really no underlining reason for me asking. No malice intent, not evil thoughts. I really just wanted to know if someone could have a police badge and not be an active police officer.

The police officers explain to me that one can buy their badge after leaving the force but they wouldn’t have the corresponding paper thingy number stuff. Obviously not what they said but basically when a police officer shows his badge he has to show you his number too. I go oh okay and try to walk away. Police officers then want to know why I asked. So I tried to be brief (me brief HAHAHAHAH) and say there is a police officer who comes in and demands discounts and I was just wondering if he was retired.

Well then the police officers wanted to know his name. I went and got the piece of paper hanging near the register to warn all the employees about Officer Asshole. I meant to get the paper because I didn’t know how to pronounce the dude’s last name. But on the paper it had the entire story of what happened and Officer Asshole’s phone number.

Well the police officer writes down both his number and Officer Asshole’s name. Another one goes out to the car to do something. And another one tells me that the next time Officer Asshole comes in to ask to see his badge number and to write down his car tag. The police officer says that no one on the force expects a discount let alone will ask for one. That they appreciate businesses that do offer a discount but one does not demand it and it reflects badly on the entire force. And I was also told to throw out Officer Asshole if he does return. All amazing stuff.

By this time momager is drilling holes in my head. Like I really did this on purpose. I was just asking a question. But I had another delivery to take and I had to go. BOOOOOOOO. On I go thinking AHA maybe victory is within my grasp. Mog people. You have no idea.

I get back to the store and the amount of police officers has double. Some are talking outside and some are talking inside. X__X Wtf did they all go on break together? Well I get back in the store and I am told right away that Officer Asshole is not a police officer in this state and in fact the name on the paper belongs to a child in another city.

Well then folks. WELL THEN.

Officer Asshole….isn’t even a police officer? I mean I guess he COULD HAVE BEEN in another state and he still has his badge. But the REAL police officers are thinking no, this is not the case. And at the very least he is impersonating a police officer now. And the cops really want to find out who he is. X___X

So in conclusion readers…do not demand a discount from a store while pretending to be a police officer. Because if you act enough like an asshole I will accidentally put the real police on alert and your ass could be grass.

XD See why I want him to come in again?

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica episode 3

So sometimes when I am blogging I will write the first section before I even watch the episode. I have no idea why since one’s mood will change after watching said episode but I do. The spoilers however are always AFTER the episode for obvious reason.

Photobucket

This week I had to erase what I had already written because…just wow folks. For the record I had something along the lines of “I was having a pretty crappy day and this anime is so awesome and it really cheered me up”. Because at the time I thought that this WOULD cheer me up. The anime is interesting and going in weird directions so I thought that would be a truthful paragraph.

In light of what happened in the episode I felt as if that would be…..wrong to say. Just no. This is not a cheer up episode folks. And given the fact I have been an emotional wreck for two days let me say the tears are flowing on this one. You have been warned.

But Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica is still a kick ass show. Just in a shit got real way.



Photobucket

Me thinks you should rethink this magical girl gig...

Episode Summary: The episode starts off with Sayaka going to visit some boy in the hospital. His name is Kamijo and something seems to be wrong with his arm. Sayaka brings him some classic music CD’s and Kamijo cries as he listens to the music. Sayaka thinks back to when she first met the boy and he was playing the violin. Sayaka and Madoka join Mami on another witch hunt but this one is easy as it was not a real witch yet. Sayaka explains that she thinks she has thought of a wish (helping out that boy) but Mami warns her against using her wish for someone else as it might not turn out how she plans. When asked Mami reveals she never had a wish. She was in a car accident (that probably killed her family) and Kyubey offered her a magical girl spot to save her life. OH OKAY. Later that night Madoka reveals that her real wish is to be like Mami. Probably not a good idea. Madoka’s mom then comes home drunk and there are some weird scenes involving that. Mami and Homura then have a bit of a showdown at the park. Homura doesn’t want the girls to become magical girls and Mami is like shut the eff up.

Photobucket

No so epic epic showdown?

Madoka and Sayaka go to visit the boy in the hospital but they are unable to see him that day. While leaving the hospital the girls spot a grief seed. Madoka runs off to get Mami while Kyubey and Sayaka guard the seed. Mami and Madoka return and it is creepy maze time. Homura shows up and is like mog the witch is going to be hard let me do this. Mami is like no and ties her up. Mami then leads Madoka through the maze of mazes. Madoka then says her wish is to be a person like Mami, one who fights to protect people. She wants to be useful and Mami is her dream. Mami is touched but pretends not to be. She jokes off the situation by talking about cake and such. But she is happy she doesn’t have to through this alone. She leads Madoka to the witch and is like watch this. She battles the witch rather quickly but it revealed that the witch had a second, more dangerous form. It morphs and bites Mami’s head off. Sayaka and Madoka are horrified AS THEY SHOULD BE while Kyubey is like tell me your wishes so you can morph. Homura shows up as Mami’s powers disappeared when her head got bitten off and she kills the witch. While Sayaka and Madoka are crying on the ground Homura is like see, this is why you don’t become a magical girl. THE END!

Photobucket

Um this is a magical girl show?

Yes folks you are reading this right. In a show that many people regarded as just another magical girl show one of the main characters, perhaps the strongest girl thus far, just got her head bitten off in the third episode.

Photobucket

.........So yeah....

Bitten off people. Not on a little stabbed and went gently into that sweet night. Her head was bitten off and then the rest of her was eaten by some crazy jack in the box creature.

BITTEN OFF.

Photobucket

I would be crying too if I were you. I didn't see you in that dream with Madoka thinking about helping Homura.

So one can see now why I had to remove the YAY this show really cheered me up aspect of my opening right? Because cheering on the fact that someone just got their head bitten off would be slightly rude.

Photobucket

Um....so what happened to them?

But before Mami got her head bitten off this show was already going down a dark path. Sayaka thought she had thought of a good and what I thought was reasonable wish. Some person in the hospital (relation was not given at this time but Madoka knows the boy and he seems not to be related to Sayaka) is sick, probably dying. Or maybe Kamijo really can’t play the violin ever again the hospital stay is just all dramatic. Whatever. Sayaka wants to wish him better. This makes sense yes?

Photobucket

The truth usually hurts.

According to Mami this might not be a good wish to be making. Her line of thinking though is not something of horror movies though, when you think you are making a good wish but it gets interpreted into something negative and not what you want. No it really has to do with the reasoning behind the wish. Do you really want that person to be happy or do you want them to thank you, be the hero of the day and treated as such.

Either way it causes Sayaka to rethink her wish. Sayaka I got your back. If someone I loved was sick and dying I wish them healthy again. And while I think thanking the person who saves your life is a natural response to that type of situation I wouldn’t expect it. I probably be too happy I saved their life.

Photobucket

What a fabulous life she has had...

Then we get a little back story on Mami. Which at this point might be the only back story we are given since her head was bitten off. Turns out Mami never got to make a wish. At all. What it looks like happen her family got in a car accident and died. Mami was moments away from going splat herself and TADA Kyubey is there to save the day. So obviously her wish was to stay alive. Which is probably not very fair since her wish could only be granted by risking her life on a daily basis.

Photobucket

Okay people, you are pulling at my heart strings now.


Photobucket

Baw!! Everything is making me bawwwwwww in this episode.

So given all this information I think that Mami should be the one telling Madoka and Sayaka not to be magical girls. Like maybe Homura has the right idea here folks and we don’t even know her reasoning yet. But later it is revealed that Mami was super lonely in this life style and while knowing the risks she is happy to have (well WOULD HAVE HAD) two people to fight alongside her. So it is slightly selfish of her not wanting to be alone I don’t blame Mami. If these girls are going to fight witches Mami might as well be a part of a group while doing so yes?

Photobucket

Thanks dad, hot chocolate will make everything better.

Oh and then we got Madoka’s mom coming home drunk. And her dad makes Madoka help put mommy drunkie to bed. Like wtf is that? Be the adult and put your wife to bed yourself. I mean I would go on that one should not come home plastered like that but it is given in Japan to work up in a business one has to go to the bars and drink with co-workers. I don’t understand it and I don’t think it is healthy but I can see how a woman would feel more pressure to drink and show the guys she is just as…worthy I guess. But that is something that should be kept away from children. However since Madoka saw her friend get her head bitten off this is the least of Madoka’s problems.

The amount of symbolism leading up the head bitting was lost on me until I went to a few forums and saw the pictures. I guess the creepy world is a bit much for me and some of the scenes go by too fast for me. But yeah a bunch of headless cross people. HMM PEOPLE HMMM.

Photobucket

Behold Homura, the new leader?

For the record I do think that Mami was right to tie Homura up. I don’t see that as arrogance to hold her back. Homura really can’t be trusted at this point and they got beef so yeah. That part I am okay with. And I really don’t know how Homura knew this witch was different from the rest. So I don’t think Mami was too full of herself or whatever. Maybe her smile was a bit premature after she defeated the witch’s level one form but I don’t think she did anything wrong.

Photobucket

But I was going to be happy!!!

And then Mami got her head bitten off. Really I should have known. Mami was so excited about not being alone in life anymore. Home girl lost her family, nearly died, and was only alive by risking her life fighting disgusting witches. Things were looking up for her, as up as things could get and she got her head bitten off by a monster that I couldn’t think of in my worst nightmare.

I don’t know how much more I can say about Mami’s death. It was horrible, unexpected, and probably traumatizing to Madoka and Sayaka. I do think that deep down Homura is upset and is just putting on a cold act to protect Madoka and Sayaka. I think that Homura is equally as sad and perhaps lost a partner in a similar way.

And I do think the death was real. Well really important. If it was unexpected it did fit into the theme of this show. Which is dark and bloody and magical girls are expendable. So while I am DEEPLY UPSET that Mami got her head bitten off well….Mami did say that this was dangerous and the decision to be a magical girl shouldn’t be made lightly. I don’t know how much more “real” things could have gotten.

Right. Because I totally want to be a magical girl after witnessing my teacher GET HER HEAD BITTEN OFF!

And despite Kyubey being cute and adorable I think I hate him. I mean…maybe his face is suck in a smile but if the next words out of his mouth aren’t WISH MAMI BACK TO LIFE I hate him. That little creature is creepy and something is up with him. Maybe Homura wasn’t so far off trying to kill him. And given the fact that this show is not following any typical magical girl track I wouldn’t be surprised If Kyubey was really a witch and the only way to regain his power is to get magical girls killed or something.

I’m just saying people.
