Minto no Ie

It was a nice dramatic episode that got the character development moving past ’silly’, but at the start of the episode, I couldn’t help but wonder if I missed a couple of episodes because I couldn’t tell what was going on. I’m not sure if it was because I put off watching this episode for a couple of days, but I’m pretty sure the last episode had Excalibur in it. Wait, no, I’m sure. Maybe it was mentioned the episode before that one that there was going to be group training? And what hurt even more is that the episode started with some heat between Maka and Black Star already, I don’t remember where that came from. My memory might be acting up - someone please help me, argh. Read the rest of this entry »

Great episode. The comedy went down, but it was okay because it’s one of those episodes that had awesome dialogue where you have to read between the lines to really understand what the hell is going on. What’s nice is that it was so simple but it made me love the characters so much more (and at the same time, I’m hoping I got my interpretation correct). Anyway, Ami is becoming more… desperate, kind of. Even Ryuuji himself pointed out that it wouldn’t be him who would be lonely if he left, but Ami. I feel kind of sorry for her at this point because she seems so into Ryuuji, but she also figured out by herself that he liked Minori. I also liked her line, “You’re the moon and she’s the sun, she’ll only burn you out. You need to find someone more like you.” Read the rest of this entry »

Is it just me, or is this show becoming more and more… well, complicated? Usually, I wouldn’t mind, but their plot devices are starting to become more and more farfetched to the point that I think my brain is giving up already, like it just doesn’t want to make an effort to understand anymore. Also, I think the characters are becoming less and less appealing. I just wish there was some quirk that would put better light to this show, or at least give it much better character development.

I found Minori… extremely pretty in this episode, and not because of her character design (which is pretty cute but her hair can be too puffy at times) - but because of her sorta cool personality and her silly quirks. Anway, this episode was really good and extremely funny. I burst out laughing when Ami denied them as her companions when they were doing that silly hand thing in the train station. Taiga’s impressions of seeing Ami in the shower was hilarious, too. I found it even funnier that she just let Ami hit her after that - poor kid, she must have been so traumatized. Ryuuji’s trauma after Ami ‘tricked’ him was pretty funny, too. He went off and tattled to Taiga. Read the rest of this entry »

Quite an uneventful episode. It was just an introduction for the next ‘arc’, which in my opinion doesn’t seem that important other than emphasizing development for Touma and his powers, and the fact that he’s probably going to be fighting with Styl and company from now on - and the fact that he’s doing it all blindly, since he can’t a remember a thing from his past. I think it’s rather dumb of him to just assume that everything he’s doing is ‘correct’ just because the events are coming naturally. I mean, why doesn’t he just admit he doesn’t have his memory, even to someone else other than Index? Will it really hurt that much? Read the rest of this entry »
