K-On!! Season Two Episode 5

We shall judge you!

Why hello my fellow K-On!! lovers. It is another day in the land of the Light Music Club. However instead of our usual girls bringing the antics we are going to see more of the younger girls today as Yui and her gang are off chasing monkeys. We shall see if these juniors are up to the challenge of carrying the show.

Once again there is a lack of music in this episode. Even though it lacks lyrics it doubles the amount of cute turtles with no charge! Also the amount of people cowering in the corner because of the word ghost is decreased by a hundred percent. These numbers are impressive people. Be impressed with me!

This post was brought to you by Harajuku Lovers totes. Harajuku Lovers totes. Because cute bags are more important than boring groceries.

Kicking the can means something really bad apparently.

Episode Summary: Ui starts off her day trying to text Yui to see if she made it to the bus on time. Poor Yui has left her camera at home. Ui arrives at school to see a sad little Azusa. Jun joins Ui and Azusa as they get silly text messages from Yui. Throughout the course of the episode Yui texts weird things to both Azusa and Ui. After Jun scores some rare bread (because all the seniors are gone thus can’t buy it up) the three girls have to go to Yui’s homeroom to retrieve he lunch bag. All three of the girls are goobers taking turns sitting in the “senior” seats. Ui then realizes that Yui is not coming home tonight and becomes super sad. Jun promises to spend the night if Azusa and Ui help her with the freshmen Jazz Club members. There is some random finger stretching exercises and what not. After that boring piece of nothingness Azusa and Jun go over to spend the night at Ui’s. Which consists of eating lots of food and Azusa being sad that she is not on the trip. Ui promises that they will have fun tomorrow. Also getting a random text message about skulls is random.

Bored Azusa is silly.

Tomorrow comes and there is rain. That ruins the plan to go to the zoo. Jun decides to be boring and read mangas. Azusa accuses manga of being the downfall of friendships. After breaking into Yui’s room they then go to a batting cage. Ui turns out to be a pro at batting which makes Jun and Azusa declare the world unfair. Then the girls realize that they forgot to feed the turtle so off to school they run. After making sure the little thing is alive the girls decide that they are going to jam out. The result is….not as bad as it could have been. On the way home Yui calls Azusa because her group is lost but she promptly hangs up on her. Amazing. Azusa pretends to not be excited when the girls return from their trip but she is. They bestow upon her souvenirs that spell out Light Music Club. Azusa is touched for like 5 seconds until she realizes none of the girls want to practice today. The end!

Well...a tiny bit of music anyway.

No new music again. *sigh* Well there was that….”song” the three girls played at the end but that doesn’t count. So we are going into episode 6 with no new music. In a show about music. Weirdos.

But let’s talk about what was in the episode. Which wasn’t the four main girls either. XO This episode felt very empty without Yui eating toast, Mio being freaked out, Ritsu freaking Mio out, and Mugi making the sweets for the group. I am not doing a good job talking about the aspects of this episode am I…

These are my seniors.......

Though in my defense the four main girls did have a tiny part to do with this episode. Many of the scenes involved Ui and Azusa receiving test messages from Yui. I think these scenes really capture the spirit of today’s youth. I mean….of today’s everyone really. My mother nearly threw a fit when we all went out to eat and of us “kids” were texting people. I can’t explain why we do it. The need to share everything with everyone is weird. But I did enjoy that Yui was spending pictures along with her bizarre comments. Almost like they are adding to episode 4 by doing so.

Don't leave me behind!

However this all made Azusa lonely. I am sure Yui had the best intentions and was trying to include Azusa in their little trip. But it had the opposite effect on our resident kitty. Even though Azusa was hanging out with her own friends she wanted to be a part of the senior trip. It is just one more thing that separates Azusa with the older girls. I think Azusa is well within her rights to feel left out. But if I was in Yui’s shoes I would be texting my friends left at home too. A very realistic scenario.

That was my reaction too...

Not everything was doom and gloom in Azusa land though. She had her pals Ui and Jun. I wasn’t aware that the three girls were close but given the fact that we often see the 4 older girls it is completely possible. Dude. I want to be invited to a Ui sleepover. All that food. Makes what I had for dinner look really small and boring! XD

I do think that parts of the episode were a bit boring. Like when Ui had nothing planned but the food at the sleepover. Of course this is what happens in real life. Not everything is nonstop fun. But I am a hypocrite so none of that matters. The point is when Jun pulled out the manga and started rolling on the floor I was a bit snoozy.

Without this episode we wouldn't have seen the epic bread!

Not that I want to bash this episode or anything. On the contrary. I was actually expecting it to much more of a snooze fest. I thought these three girls weren’t going to be able to carry the show. I am not saying that I want to watch only Azusa, Ui, and Jun each and every week. But for this episode it was lovely.

I do curse the rain though. I wanted to see the trip to the zoo. I guess seeing the girls trying to jam was equally as amusing. And the batting cage had such potential. It is a shame that Ui had to show how awesome she is too early in the day. And while I thought the whole MOG I am sitting in a chair that someone one year older than me sits in was really corny it worked. Sometimes I enjoy corny.

Glad to see that they are confused too.

Skulls. That is all.

Everyone say AW.

The last scene was very cute. The girls come back from their trip and it is souvenir time (because if you go somewhere for a day and don’t buy everyone you know a little something YOU DIE). I thought they were going to break out the ugly monkey key chains but nopers. Our silly seniors prove they are reasonable and sweet at times. XD I am glad that the subbers told us what the symbols stood for. Of course I might have figured that out for myself but…you know. In any event it was cute. Especially the part when Azusa gets DENIED practice. It was glorious.

Next week looks a little all over the place. X_X I guess we will wait and see what happens but yeah. Confusing. We shall wait and see though.

Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru episode 4

Only one day late! XD Go me. Although it is the last minute it is still Tuesday. That's all that matters.

Come with me if you want to live. And sparkle.

But this week's episode was good so putting it aside for a day made me feel a little guilty. I wish they would pick up the pace with the plot but meh. Yuki seems to be very accepting with the very limited explanations so far so maybe I should be too? Hopefully those explanations will come sooner rather than later but for now I will enjoy the sparkle demon dogs and emo Yuki.

Spoilers for you. Enjoy.

This post was not brought to you by Modern Warfare 2. Modern Warfare 2. The game that is sucking the soul out of my husband.

Exactly. This makes sense.

Episode Summary: Kaname’s one and only scene of the episode is him muttering about how more people should be like Yuki. He then walks off the bridge with his book. Yuki makes it up to the roof of his school and finds Uzuki there being weird. Uzuki points out where the kids are and pulls a knife on Yuki. Excellent friendship skills there. Before Uzuki gets too sad about his friend being all evilfied it is revealed that a demon has taken over Uzuki’s body. Sort of anyway as the demon can switch his appearance back to Uzuki without any reason. But the demon says he was only able to take over Uzuki because of Uzuki’s cold heart and hatred for Yuki. Yuki decides what the demon is saying is true and stands there so Mr. Demon can kill him. Tsukumo arrives just in time to save Yuki from being a pound cake but is injuried in the process. The demon is all laughing and tries blowing up Yuki again. This time Zess arrives and saves the day. Touko also arrives but she is too busy comforting her dying brother. Zess states as soon as Mr. Demon dies the progression of the injury will stop and one of Yuki’s clansmen will be able to heal him.

Move next time!!!

Mr. Demon is slightly worried so he resorts to telling the group that if he dies Uzuki dies. Zess goes to strike but Yuki gets all sad face and begs him not to attack his friend. The result is Zess getting stabbed and oozing out like 6 pints of blood. Takashiro drives up to the scene to be useless. Yuki gets extremely sad face that everyone is getting injuried for his sake and starts glowing. Takashiro declares everything a success woohoo. Yuki’s sparkles make Uzuki’s personality come to the surface. He requests that Zess kills him before he hurts Yuki. Zess agrees and Yuki is like NOOOO! Tsukumo is slightly healed by Yuki’s sparkles and teams up with Zess to separate Uzuki from Mr. Demon and Mr. Demon is destroyed. Off in the shadows someone evil plots something evil.

I was expecting something more than fireflies...but this works too.

Yuki and his new found powers are able to fully heal Tsukumo but that causes him pain instead. Uzuki starts crying because he was unworthy of saving. He then realizes that all the times when Yuki was crying for him…he actually liked him. It is a wonderful sparkly moment. Then the two kids wake up and freak out when Yuki tries to comfort them. Yuki then starts boo hooing about no one wanting/needing him. Zess takes his sparkly hand and tells him all will be okay. Yuki decides to leave the orphanage (but on good terms as the two girls have forgotten the incident). Yuki tries to contact Kaname but is unable to since Kaname has skipped town. Yuki joins up with the Giou Clan who are having a playful day. Zess tells Yuki to call him Luka from now on and it is magical. Yuki is happy he has a place to call home now. The end!

Long summary is super long. I apologize. :( I tried to be brief. But I am never very good at being brief. XD

Um no Master business! That ruins the yaoi vibes. Or makes them stronger. Not sure yet.

Pick a name people! Zess Luka Zess Luka! Stop trying to confuse me people. I should have stuck with my instincts. But I should be glad that they are doing a name change on me early on and not during episode 10 or something, when things are set in stone for me. I am not sure which name I prefer but part of me wants Yuki to call Luka Zess because girl Yuki called Zess Luka. I want Yuki to have a different relationship with Luka. But on the other hand….that means Luka wants to have a closer relationship with Yuki. Nothing makes me happy so moving on.

Totally didn't see that one coming. Not at all.

BOOO Uzuki living BOOO! Of course it makes total sense and I saw it coming a mile away but BOOO all the same. People cannot learn from their mistakes, all must be punished. Okay maybe not but I am not down with Uzuki getting off scot-free. You made a pact with a Psycho Demon and you thinking crying is going to make it better? And whining that you don’t deserve to live? I get that he is upset that someone knows that his mother abuses him and hates him. I wouldn’t be happy if someone knew my personal business because of a simple touch. But then I would be a reasonable person and understand that it wasn’t Yuki’s fault. Or run away in fear because Yuki has a weird power. But I would certainly not pretend to be his friends while sending him awful letters and letting a demon taking over his body.

Consider yourself lucky punk.

But Uzuki living wasn’t really for Uzuki. It was for Yuki. So I shall forgive him and his way too gentle heart. I am not really a fan of people who are super duper forgiving no matter what. It is okay to be mad people. It is not a really endearing quality to be so forgiving you put your own well being at risk. But…you really can’t be hating on people who want to see the best in people can you? That just sounds too evil. All you can do is hope the surrounding characters like Luka can protect the innocent people from themselves.

I was eating...

X_X Luka was a bleeding machine in this episode. On a side note I really like that when the blood on Yuki’s face got all smeared. Made it more realistic. But the amount of blood oozing out of Luka made me want to barf. And it reminded me of X/1999 again. But Luka is fine people. He can lose a gallon of blood and push through the pain. Yay super demons.

Can't say no to those eyes...

I wish that Luka was a little more willing to be “the bad guy” and take out the person trying to take Yuki. I know that Luka wants to make Yuki happy and their relationship is in that new stage so Luka can’t go around slicing up Yuki’s friends. That might put a strain on things. But on the other hand Luka needs to be able to make those hard decisions for Yuki. Or at the very least not stab Uzuki/Mr. Demon and not get stabbed himself. X_X Move out of way or do that fling the other sword away deal. I know he seemed gunho about fulfilling Uzuki’s wish to kill him but Luka was counting on Tsukumo to help him out. Uzuki was never in any real danger. So meh. I want Luka to be a bad ass. But maybe his time with girl Yuki took a little of his demon bad ass way and now Luka is compassionate or something like that. Maybe in the future when Yuki is truly in danger with no way out Luka will show us his more dangerous side. For now let’s hold hands and sparkle!

I'm being so badass.

I wish Tsukumo had more of a speaking role. He seems to have a just there role. His sister does the talking and he does the fighting. I do like that he risked his life for Yuki though. I just hope that both siblings learn to love boy Yuki and not continue to harbor feelings for girl Yuki. I am sure they will but when Yuki learns the truth I hope he doesn’t fall apart.

You two suck. The end.

The two orphanage kids can fall off a bridge. What the hell did Yuki do to frighten them? They were both asleep when he was sparkling and even if they were awake how was that scary? I understand that dude with the sword and the dude all demon like were acting scary but Yuki? Just a bit over the top for me. The moment existed to cement Yuki’s decision to leave and run off to Tokyo. I think it could have been handled differently.

I want to know more about Kaname! Please don’t be the baddie in the shadows. :( And answer the next time Yuki calls you!

Yuki can laugh! It's amazing! XD

I do like how Yuki was happy at the end. Sure things are going to be tough and he is leaving his old life behind. But now he is going to on a new adventure with people who won’t judge him for his powers. Hopefully he will drop the emo act soon. XD But…more plot please!

Wait I'm not done being badass!

Harajuku Lovers Loot: I have an addiction!

Okay. So I promised that I wasn't going to buy any more Harajuku Lovers perfume. I have 8 bottles and a tester all full of the lovely stuff. I can't even begin to think how long it will take me to use all of those perfumes up so buying any more would just be ridiculous at this point.

Behold: I like to go shopping!

But I never said anything about not buying any more Harajuku Lovers products! Perfume is only one part of the brand! There are tons of other ways I can make myself poor with Harajuku Lovers. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing yet. In any event yes, these are my lovelies!

Oh yeah. Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru. Tomorrow. I promise. Hopefully.

Today's post was brought to you by money. Money. The stuff you need to buy stuff you don't need.

It's almost like high school but now I can afford cute stuff.

Let's start with the folder. Complete compulsive buy at Claire's. I saw the section with new Harajuku Lovers stationary stuff and I had to have it. Not sure what I am going to use it for but I own it now. Go me.

Close up view of the useless but pretty folder.

To be honest the folder is on the flimsy side. I don't think it would be very useful in a school setting unless you were carrying around one report and we all know reports have to be in boring folders. But I think it was cute. I rather spend $3.50 on that and not buy the milkshake I was going to later. Harajuku Lovers is helping me not eat junk food XO

Aw too bad I don't keep a journal anymore.

Moving onto to more items I don't need but must own. This (expensive) journal was calling my name. It was like Tenshi you can eat a can of soup tonight. You don't need a ten piece meal at McDonalds. Then everyone else in the shop freaked out because a notebook was talking to me.

Too pretty to write one.

Since it costs a bit more than an average notebook the pages are actually detailed. Which I would expect but makes me not want to write on the pretty paper. XD Curse you Harajuku Lovers!

My favorite girl front and center.

Too cute for words!!

This purchase was a no brainer. I was also going to get the Love notebook but I was informed by my friend that Santa already got that notebook for me. XD My friends sure do have my tastes down pat.

The inside is even cuter than the front!

Again with the cute paper. How am I supposed to write on this cute paper? I do think it would be better if it came with a magnet though but I will find space in my house for this lovely. Almost makes me wish I had a desk.

Because I need another tote. I do.

And this is my favorite purchase of all. When I went to AWA last year I saw a few girls with Harajuku Lovers totes and was instantly jealous. I researched them online and cringed a bit at the prices. I do love spending money but I like getting a lot of little things as well. What to do what to do?!

Would have preferred it to be Love but that's fine too. XD

Since I am not willing to pay the 78 bucks that the average Harajuku Lovers tite costs I went online to search where I could get deals. I learned that sometimes Ross gets Harajuku purses that are considered last season. There are several Ross's within driving distance of where I live so I go ever so often. But I only saw one tote and it had none of the girls on it. Sad Tenshi was sad.

Normally I hate tags but this one I approve of.

But last week my friend and I hit pay dirt. Three different styles of totes and they were all different and had the girls on them. She ended up getting the girls dressed in cats and I went home with this lovely.

Look at all that space! Now I can carry my whole house with me!

I think what made my friend and I the most excited was the price. 78 bucks is too much for a tote but 32 is pretty dang awesome! Not according to my mother but she just doesn't see how awesome the tote is. Also my husband with is "well if you didn't buy it at all you would save 32 dollars" but that doesn't count either. The point is I am happy. XD

Favorite girl on the tote.

This will not be an everyday tote of course. Even though it only cost 32 dollars in my mind it was 78 dollars. And I have never spend that much on a purse before. So that means no going to the pizzeria and getting flour all over it. The precious must be protected. On our first trip out I held it carefully through the mall so no one would bump into it. XD I am sure it looked like I was protecting people from my big tote (it is rather big) but no people. I am protecting my lovely from you!

Runner up/second favorite girl.

So there is all my loot. Stuff that I didn't need but made me happy anyway. And hey, I didn't buy any perfume so I am a happy girl. XD My wallet is a little empty but splurging is fun now and again. Although I might want to cut down on the amount of hobbies I have. Nendoroids, Hello Kitty, and now Harajuku Lovers....

I can survive off the dollar menu right?

April Movie Reviews

Okay so when I said I was going to post on the 1st of every month my movie reviews apparently I wasn’t taking into account that Angel Beats was going to be awesome! So sorry movie post you got pushed back a day. But be happy that you are not Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan. Who knows when that hot mess is getting posted. XD

But yes here are my movie reviews. Next month I might go to the actual movie theaters and blog about something current. I swear though if they make Freddy Krueger a sympathetic serial killer I will scream. For now here is what I watched this month with the exception of one movie. Whatever came on after the Hitcher I forgot to write down. Also my husband hogged the TV one night and I missed the Mothman. Sadness fills my soul. Included in this post are the following movies:

Ice Spiders

Swamp Devil

Mega Piranha

Asteroid (the miniseries)

The Invasion

Armageddon

The Hitcher


Ice spiders

I saw this movie when it premiered a few months ago but I guess I missed the beginning. Either way….spiders that are crawling around in the snow? I totally believe that! Science can do everything but cure cancer in these movies. XD

Like what’s up dudes. Yeah I should have been a surfer dude but I work at a ski lodge. But like totally I am a great actor. At least the main scientist chick isn’t wearing a tank top.

Scifi tip #95: Never run for the bus. You don’t have the keys, the dead guy outside does.

Also when your husband/boyfriend is getting eaten by a spider it is best to sit on a couch and scream. Not need to help him out ma’am.

Swamp Devil

I can’t remember the last time I have seen such a boring movie. Boring cast, boring back story, and almost no redeemable characters.

I’m okay with angry mutants/humans running around killing people for no reason. The alternative will be the new Halloween and we don’t need any more sympathetic serial killers. I am also okay with monsters that already exist not getting any explanation. Yes we all would like to know where the Cloverfield monster came from but the lack of detail didn’t take away from the movie. In this movie….it did. We had a human randomly become a swamp monster because……why? Just because? In a case like that we need a back story but since the movie was more focused on leaves and the woods we didn’t. So it sucked.

Was there a reason why Jimmy had to make Melanie come to town? I know he said that he was trying to flush out Melanie’s dad. But Melanie hadn’t seen her dad in a while. How was she going to be able to locate him? Also Jimmy is a swamp monster. He lives in the woods. Wouldn’t he eventually see her father in the woods? No? It’s better to waste time with a pretty girl? Good call.

Do not waste your time with this movie. Although it was a little refreshing to see the monster reveal in the middle of the movie and not at the end. Makes the characters seem less stupid that way. But then I take away points when no one notices the swamp monsters walking around in the woods.

Mega Piranha

This movie was SO awesome. My friend and I talked for a week after seeing the previews. We were so excited to see this obviously well thought out and acted movie. We were not disappointed. XD

The piranha jumped OVER trees. And not just one tree or a few trees. But huge plots of land. They jumped from one part of river to another OVER all the land in between. Yes these fish were pretty giant but so are whales and I don’t see them jumping over land masses! Maybe a bridge or fence in Free Willy but not entire sections of land! They were jumping over small islands! I won’t bash the graphics because…yeah they sucked. I was just in awe of the huge fake fishes jumping over a forest.

The acting was awesome in this movie. And by awesome I mean eye rolling. I think we are alone now indeed.

A sci-fi movie wouldn’t be complete without someone trying to save one of the mega/scary animals for research. The lines are always the same. “We can learn so much from them!!” Dude you created the monsters. Now they bleed green and have three hearts and jump over TREES! What is there to study, how fast they can nom your face off? Study the thing when it’s dead.

It would also not be a sci-fi movie if we didn’t have random baddies being bad. Because it is not enough to have giant fishes jumping on land and causing explosions (yes the fishes caused explosions by hitting buildings or some crap). No no, we need to have some assholes trying to kill our “heroes” while they are dodging the killer fish of doom. Thanks fellow human beings for being so sucky!

I love how the plan to stop the fishes involved killing one of them. Oh and by sending men into the water with the task to stab one of them. That doesn’t sound like fail at all. Also I like how the movie forgot that in the first hour of the movie one fishies was injured and the other fishes ate it. Not the other fishies just the injured one. So……why is a feeding frenzy going to work now? Oh right because we aren’t supposed to think about logic.

In other words this movie ROCKED!

Asteroid

This really wasn’t a movie but more like a mini-series. I think I watched 3 hours of this nonsense and I nearly fell asleep 7 times. It was SO boring. I thought it was ending 3 different times but OH NO look there is more danger. The up and down emotional crazy time wasn’t really a roller coaster but a giant train wreck.

I am tired of people who are in charge of saving the world world/a big group of people but they decide saving their family is more important. I mean, I would be like that too. Screw you guys I am saving my kittens and husband. But I am not in charge of my country or tons of people. I didn’t run for that kind of office. The people who did run of those positions/took those jobs need to stop worrying about their kids in Texas and worry about the giant piece of rock that is coming towards us. Because you know…if you don’t stop the rock everyone is going to die, not just your kids.

Boring. I hate you Sci-Fi.

The Invasion

Nothing was on TV so I decided that I would give this movie a whirl. And while it wasn’t a block buster hit for me I am not seeing why it got such a negative reception. Yes the concept of what the aliens wanted could have been better explained. I am not sure if they wanted to take over the people or they were merely taking away people’s emotions. And yes it was pretty slow during some parts. But it wasn’t a huge disaster. Of course I am comparing it to Sci-Fi original movies…..

The idea that aliens can invade through the air makes me X_X. Well at least I think it was the air. In any event it wasn’t a noticeable invasion which makes me worry. But for once I would like these super smart aliens to outsmart us. We humans always seem to live and this time it’s because a few of us are broken. Awesome. Be nice to those with brain injuries okay!

Also when in doubt loot. Always.

Armageddon

That is correct people. This movie came out in 1998 and I watched it for the first time in 2010. I haven’t seen Top Gun either because I am un-American. But in my defensive I really though this movie came out in 2005. XD Or does that make it worse...

That all being said I am not sure why this movie got nominated for so many Razzies. I really don’t think Bruce Willis was that bad in the movie. The only scene I found over the top with the acting was when Bruce was trying to kill Ben’s character. With a gun. On a oil rig. That was annoying. But the rest of the movie (as scientifically impossible as it was) was fine. Liv and Ben were a cute couple, I liked the explosions, and this wasn’t the worse movie ever. Well I didn’t like the character Rockhound and that Max died but no one seems to be complaining about those parts of the show.

Or maybe I just like movies where a lot of random people die. The idea of this actually happening freaks me out though. I tend to make no sense as I want to go to the horror movies at the theater and I end up spending half the movie behind my fingers. Maybe I like the fact that something horrible was happening to the Earth and people were working TOGETHER made me happy. Can’t stand movies where something terrible is happening and instead of trying to overcome the terrible thing people are fighting with other survivors. Go humanity.

The Hitcher

This movie sucked SO bad Sci-Fi didn’t replay it at 11 pm on Saturday night. Usually when a movie premiers on Sci-Fi on a Saturday night they first play the movie at 9pm and again at 11pm. Since I work on Saturdays I usually have to catch the 11 pm movies. It was a slow night and I was able to get home at 9:10. I don’t think I missed much. If you are going to copy key elements from previous horror movies you might want to copy the important elements. Oh and not make a boring movie.

I can’t remember seeing a more incompetent group of cops before. I mean it is a given that most cops are red shirt characters in any movie but they usually get a bum rap in horror/sci-fi movies. It is hard to believe the crazy stuff that happens to the unfortunate main characters so when they are viciously maimed by a mythical monster. But in this movie yeah I am glad they all died. How stupid can they be?! Really did they think that couple could take down an entire police station by themselves?! Especially when the stronger of the two is in a holding cell?!

The moral of this story is that if you don’t give a hitch hiker a ride you deserve to die. Shame on you for being afraid of strangers. And dude what was his story anyway? I want to know why the crazy people are crazy please. Of course this completely contradicts what I said earlier in the Swamp Devil review.....

Angel Beats Episode 5

Prepare to be amazed!

This episode was awesome. This series is amazing. I know that Angel Beats was getting a lot of hype even before the series aired and that might turn people off (that the show hadn’t earned the respect and praise yet) but seriously. I think it is safe to say that everyone was right about this show and that is one of the best shows of the season. Unless something drastic happens in the last episode this will be my favorite series of the season. If you are not watching Angel Beats you are missing out. Hurry and catch up now while you are only 2 hours and 5 episodes behind.

Fangirling? On my blog? SAY IT AIN’T SO!!!

Do you like spoilers? Do you like people flying into ceilings? Do you like Code Red?! Well then you have stumbled into the right place. Enjoy your stay.

Also the movie post for April will be posted on the 2nd because Angel Beats is too awesome to wait for!

This post is brought to you buy Froot Loops. Froot Loops. The breakfast/lunch/dinner of champions.

Big head is big! XO

Episode Summary: Yuri has decided that they need fight against Tenshi who is bringing out the big guns: exams. Otonashi is a little X_X about the situation but Yuri explains that they are going to make Tenshi fail all her exams so the normal students think less of her and her student council president ability. When some of the members question the importance of this mission Yuri explains that she wants to see if Tenshi is like them, with emotions and the ability to feel bad about the situation. Yuri picks the normal looking members of the SSS to carry out this mission which include Otonashi, Hinata, Takamatsu, Christ, and Oyama.

Very pure love indeed.

Upon entering the classroom only Christ manages to get a seat close enough to Tenshi. He is assigned the duty of taking an extra answer sheet, filling out dumb answers, and switching Tenshi’s paper when one of the other boys are forced to make a distraction. Otonashi gets a little RARW at everyone when it is revealed that no one knows Tenshi’s real name. He stomps out to find out from the teacher’s lounge when Tenshi stops him, concerned that he will miss the exam. They strike up a conversation and it is revealed that her real name is Kanade Tachibana. Yuri is jealous. Throughout the exam the boys are forced to create a distraction for Christ but when they all deem ineffective people (mostly Hinata) go flying into the ceiling instead. Otonashi has to keep creating wild stories up to Tenshi so she doesn’t question their antics. After the exam period Otonashi gets concerned when he sees Tenshi leaving a staff building. Tenshi claims nothing is wrong and walks away.

Tenshi probably needs a hug.

The next day Yuri explains that there are rumors that Tenshi lost her position as class president. This is confirmed the later when there is an assembly making the vice-president Naoki president. Yuri decides to go ahead with operation steal the meal tickets again as Yui being allowed to be the main singer of the band. Otonashi starts getting second thoughts about the mission. When Tenshi arrives on scene he orders everyone not to shoot her and allow her to enter the building. Upon arriving on the concert Tenshi walks over to the food ticket section and purchases something making no attempt to stop the concert. The meal tickets are stolen including Tenshi as Yuri looks on. Later Otonashi gets Tenshi’s meal ticket and is sad that they stole her comfort food she was obviously taking to combat the pain of losing her job. Yuri is upset at the thought that Tenshi might have been just like them but had to create powers to combat the SSS because that was her job as the student council president. The episode ends with Naoki barging into the dining room to take all the SSS members to detention as he is not taking any of their crap as student council president. The end!

This picture does not justice to the awesomeness that was the scene.

Hinata didn’t disappear in this episode woohoo! Although he might wish he had after flying into the ceiling a million times. Hinata is too important to disappear. If he left who would we mock?! Hinata has the ability to make much needed jokes, be the center of everyone else’s jokes, and be a steady shoulder to lean on when things get bad. But mostly we love him because of his reactions to the craziness that is his (dead) life.

No pictures for you Christ!

Bleh to Christ become a semi-important character. TK gets no lines this episode but Christ is front and center in the mission. I thought we had our resident nerd/smart character in Takamatsu but I guess not. I found him to be slightly boring with his “But please call me Christ line”. He was only important in the mission as he picked the right seat. Shoo fly don’t bother me.

Congrads Yui for being the singer now XD

Once again I am not sure if I am totally on board for this mission. Of course that might be my fault for assuming the missions need to be these grand adventures that accomplish something super important. If the point of the SSS group is to annoy Tenshi and make sure that they don’t succumb to disappearing than it is working and the missions are a success. Maybe I should just roll with the punches and enjoy the crazy plans of Yuri. Rain down upon us rain tickets and failing exams.

Missions may be crazy but they get the job done.

I do have to say that even if I don’t think the plans are grand or that the outcome would be life changing the way Yuri plans things out are awesome. Or scary. She pays close attention to details and has back up plans for if (when) her minions fail. She seems to have great insight about what Tenshi might be. I doubt Yuri will totally get everything because I think she is in denial to protect herself but I do think she is smart.

Will jealously be her downfall?

Was it just me or did Yuri seem a little jealous that Otonashi was connecting with Tenshi? I don’t think I will be able to call Tenshi Kanada so I am sticking with Tenshi for now. Anyway yeah jealous Yuri. I don’t think Yuri witnessed anything special between Otonashi and Tenshi but that doesn’t change the fact that she is a teenage girl and they are known for being slightly over dramatic at times. The guy I have no claims to is talking to another girl (the enemy no less!) and it bothers me even though he is doing his job?! Off with his head! Which is strange because I thought Yuri would be the type to punish Otonashi but it was fun seeing Hinata suffer her wrath.

Don't mess with my food!

This episode was designed to garnish sympathy for Tenshi. For some it worked. Probably worked on me as well. I never thought Tenshi was the bad guy to begin with but I also don’t hate the SSS members for attacking her and ruining Tenshi’s plans. I did assume that Tenshi was working for God but it is possible that she was unlike enough to be chosen to carry out his mission by being the student council president. It is likely that she knows something the SSS members don’t and took on this position to help them out rather than Naoki who rather be a bad ass as it were.

XO Talking to the enemy!

Either way I think it is strange that it took Otonashi to see the human side of Tenshi. But if Yuri was the one who woke up first, the one has a grudge against God, it is easy to see how she convinced all the other members that Tenshi was either and had no good side at all. But Otonashi being the savor is a bit expected. He will bridge the gap between the two groups while everyone else wonders why this didn’t happen sooner. I also might feel sorrier for Tenshi if she actually showed some emotions. If she is a real kid I would like to see her upset at all this crap happening to her. Then again she might be doing that to protect the other kids. But I am sure lots of other people out there will make up for the love Tenshi has yet to receive.

Teacher is not amused!

I am not sure what I found funnier during this episode. Takamatsu stripping (and remaining naked during the credits) was pretty random but I enjoyed the flying moments from Hinata. My love isn’t pure indeed!

Them are fighting words!

In the end the SSS members may regret going too far in their plans to ruin Tenshi. Now there is a new sheriff in town and he isn’t going to make things easy. Perhaps that is why Tenshi was the president. If Naoki is a NPC student he doesn’t have the ability to think for himself. Tenshi might have the ability to take care of the SSS members and still have the outward appearance of doing their job. Either way next week the SSS members will get Tenshi her job back. Can’t wait to see that XD It shall be hard to wait until next week but we shall endure.

I love that the picture changes each week. XD
