Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Episode 26: It Took 29 Minutes to Deliver, So Please Pay the Amount We Had Originally Asked For... Is an Old Myth Now ]

No, I haven’t dropped Hayate no Gotoku. It just took me a while to get around to blogging my thoughts after the hectic fall rush. This episode was nice but there have been better. Seeing Nishizawa is always a plus though. That girl sure can eat. The whole Hayate losing his memory thing wasn’t that interesting but it wasn’t exactly boring either. Especially since I got to see him say “Nunnally” out of no where. Seriously what the hell was that, LOL? I also liked the power-up segment. It looked like he was about to go Super Saiyan and scared off that huge turtle. Fun stuff.

[ Episode 51: Set Sail from the Far East ]

Finally we are back with the canon! Allen, Lenalee, and the others have met up with Anita and are now heading towards Japan. With that we are headed into the best parts of the manga and man am I psyched. Up until now we’ve been having quite a bit of character development that I’ve been enjoying and now it’s time to focus on the plot. I’m not sure how far they’ll make it before they’ll have to slow down once more but until then it’s going to be wonderful experiencing the most exciting parts of the manga in motion.

[ 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.

[ Episode 6: Leap Before You Look ]

Ah~. It’s been some time since I’ve had some despair. I laughed all throughout this episode, particularly during the scenes where Kafuka met Nozomu’s older brother and the entire trip to his huge mansion. Nozomu’s little sister, Rin, is just too awesome. She wanted to kill Kafuka for calling her Ms. Peerless! The entire engagement ritual was ridiculous as well. Seriously, marrying someone the very second you meet their eyes? LOL. That’s priceless stuff right there. Who knew Nozomu would lose to a demon creature with who knows how many eyes? Good thing hte engagement wasn’t valid though. I was rolling in my chair at the very end though when Kaere’s skirt rose and Nozomu saw she had on “eye” panties. I wasn’t expecting that scene at all but then again I don’t expect at least 99% of the stuff that goes on in this show, lol.
