Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Episode 7: One Morning, I Woke Up and Opened My Eyes I Was Carrying a Mikoshi ]

The first half of this episode was focused on drawing doujinshi and reminded me a lot of Genshiken and Doujin Work for obvious reasons. I also managed to learn quite a few things during this episode. Such as Kishotenketsu being a structuring style of Japanese [and Chinese] narratives. That was what Nozomu was trying to sell at Comiket. Then the second half focused on Mikoshi which are portable [Shinto] shrines. I found that part of the episode to be the best as it was so amusing to see those Mikoshi guys carrying around anything and anyone they can find. I loved how Nozomu pointed out how even those are used to get influence into the mass media. This show just keeps on hitting on real issues so hard and without mercy. Oh yes, and we got another Kaere panty-shot.

There were also references abound in this episode. Code Geass, Gundam SEED, Lucky Star, Manabi, were among those shown. I particularly laughed at the Code Geass one because it was just right in my face for once second and gone the next. They did a really good job mimicking Lelouch’s unique pose, lol.
