Ugh… kimochiwarui.

A new neighbour (and guy) moves in next door. Hosaka is kimochiwarui as usual. The Minami household hosts a nabe night cum pajama party for Chiaki’s friends. Mako-chan makes a short-lived appearance. Kana gatecrashes the pajama party’s original intention.

A less humourous episode, but nevertheless still enjoyable. Seems there is a bit of continuity break here, with regards to Mako/Mako-chan, I thought he was banned from coming to Chiaki’s house at all. Perhaps Chiaki already forgave him. The party would’ve been extremely hilarious if Mako-chan showed up instead though.

Fanservice here as well, with erm, bath scenes and chichikurabe abound. Poor Chiaki still hasn’t budded yet it seems. Touma gets sexually harrassed by Kana a lot, as usual.

Somehow, Fujioka got invited as well for the nabe, and it seems Chiaki likes him as a father figure a lot… aww~~~~. A tense moment came for Makoto though, when Fujioka commented he looks a lot like Mako-chan. Oh dear, seems like Fujioka still doesn’t know, who erm, made him went through that.

Elsewise, next week looks to be more hillarious, judging from the preview of SERIOUS BUSINESS Haruka.

This shot of Haruka-neesama was just so cute.

Ohmigawd.

It’s impressive how you can put bacteria, agriculture and goth loli trap in one show together perfectly. Moyashimon truly wins.

Sigh, only one more episode left.

This week’s episode is about three friends, Koutake, Kaname and Senkawa. Koutake discusses about his feelings of wanting to jump off a train platform with his two friends one day, and is shocked when later at night, Kaname phones him to tell that Senkawa committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Everyone in school and his family is in shock with the meaningless suicide, and Senkawa’s father becomes desperate to know why his son died, thus he takes his son’s classmates hostage. While he questions everyone, Fumika interrupts with a shigofumi delivery, from Senkawa to Koutake.

Reading the letter aloud, Senkawa explains that he merely just wanted to test out the feeling of “jumping off”, that they discussed earlier. Immediately after the letter is read, the SWAT team swoops in and rescues the class, catching Senkawa’s father, as Koutake himself mentions that he understands now why.

Surprisingly, Kaname chases after Fumika, and reveals that he knew her back in elementary school, calling her Mikawa. The scene changes to a hospital bed of a girl in coma, with a book by Mikawa Kirameki, that Fumika was quoting earlier next to her.

This week’s death was… hmm, how to put it? Meaningless, yes, but stupid, probably not. I can’t imagine myself doing such, but I guess some people actually do so for no reason. I guess Senkawa just wanted to feel how it was to freefall. For anyone else who wants to jump like that though, I suggest trying bungee jumping instead.

More surprisingly was the revelation that Fumika is human before, and her real body may still be alive. That was an interesting development there no doubt, and one wonders what did Fumika herself might have experienced when she was alive.

Also, the supposed “censorship” of this week’s episode, turns out to be quite a lame one, merely only blackening out a few scenes. Better than having the episode not aired I guess, but really, I find no much use for their “censorship” at all, apart from being a wee bit annoying.

Shinichiro was quite the rascal.

I’m falling in love with Hiromi more and more.

LOLiyuri episode this week.

11-yr old Sendo Yukari is the new character of the week, and fills the loli haremette role. She first meets Moka when she defends Yukari from a bunch of bullies and starts to fall in “love” with Moka, causing a bit of a pain to Tsukune. Long story short, she gets rescued from the bullies attacking her again thanks to Aono, Moka and Kurono, and falls in love with him too, creating a love polygon already.

Truly a LOLiyuri episode. Probably the best description of it, since there was quite some epic boob-squeezing there by Yukari-chan.

Loli squeezing boobs.

Otherwise, just another episode of R+V, complete with gratuitous panty shots, boobs and Super Vampire Moka kicking ass at the end of the day.

Additional note for Gonzo, can you just cut the henshin part of Moka? It’s the only one thing I can’t stand about the show for now, and that’s already saying a lot.

Wow, they’re on a roll. Another awesome episode of Shana II this week.

Tomoya finally remembers his past with Kotomi. Kotomi recovers from depression and comes to school, where she is given her father’s suitcase, containing a teddy bear that she had asked back then. It seems the suitcase managed to float and wander around the world, to finally arrive back at Japan with miraculous timing. After coming in to terms with her parents deaths and their wishes for her, Kotomi finally recovers from the trauma. The episode ends with Tomoya and the others coming over to Kotomi’s house for a party.

A pretty wonderful ending for Kotomi’s arc, even if her story was rather weak in terms to jerking out the tears from me. The part about the suitcase traveling around the world was more funny than touching to me actually. Still, I’m happy for Kotomi and I’m so going to miss her being the main focus, but thankfully it seems she’ll be sticking around instead of disappearing :).

I think the most touching thing of Kotomi’s arc is still her quote from The Dandelion Girl, which, although rather meaningless, but if you have read the story, it becomes a very powerful quote. Not to mention it’s Noto-sama saying it out (=w=)~~.

Next week; Start of Nagisa’s arc?

That is one sure-fire way to escape from a dinner date there.

Epic Surströmming explosions, family obligations, uncertainty of the future and tsun-tsun;dere-dere + teenager Hasegawa make this a nice character development episode of Moyashimon.

Hell, they even threw in a trap as well.

I agree with moyism. Although the impact was less than I expected it to be, it still was an awesome episode.

The women of Moyashimon are really hawt. Sayaka Ohara Bondage Queen and Akemi Kanda x Noto Mamiko two-some makes this show a winner. I am so going to have wet dreams tonight.
