2009 in Review, Part 1
First part of my 2009 in Review article. Only shows I’ve completed watching are in this list, divided in to four tiers of descending “accumulative entertainment value”.
DtB: Ryuusei no Gemini 08
At this point, Tanya has been the longest-living non-regular Contractor in the whole series. Not a very impressive record, but it was fun while it lasted, you sexy 14-year old in military uniform you!
Wow I can’t believe they’re bringing back those two. Kiko’s fine but Gai is just…
Well, I guess they provide good comic relief.
DtB: Ryuusei no Gemini 07
Looking rather UNCLE there, Hei.
Pretty much bridge-filler episode focusing on Suou and July’s unspoken, developing bond… much akin to Hei’s first season bonding with Yin. I kinda LOL’ed at hearing Nabatame Hitomi as the treacherous ‘transporter’ Hei hires to get them out from Hokkaido to Tokyo. Too bad she’s just a one-shot character killed terribly by the end of this episode. Speaking of which…. Suou was pretty nifty at throwing those glass shards.
Major revelation this week is that Suou’s father is still pretty much alive, under Shion’s thumb and probably had a cloned body prepared to masquerade as his corpse for the Russian authorities, prompting Tanya’s return to fray… not that it’s unwelcome since she looks hawt as hell in those uniforms.
I’m just glad the show’s getting back on the serious track for now. Hopefully that’ll be the last we see of dreadlocks boy.

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Yin kawaii yo Yin!
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Hei and Yin being…. intimate.
I can’t wait for this OVA now.
DtB: Ryuusei no Gemini 04
a.k.a as the budget-saving ‘bridge’ episode. Seriously this was such as bizzare episode I’d almost think they jumped the shark if I wasn’t prep’ed for it over the last three weeks. In any case, poor Shio-, I mean Suou.
