Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Episode 8: I am Fated to be an Outcast ]

This episode made me laugh so hard I thought I would choke. The whole issue of being an outcast and being overshadowed is so true that it’s painfully hilarious. The examples such as Kaere’s absolutely amazing body being overshadowed by Chie’s huge boobs and Nozomu turning in his 1000 yen only to be overshadowed by Kafuka turning in a ton of money were especially gut-busting. The other part of this episode involved receiving criticism. Everything shown was so truthfully that I could only shake my head in laughter. This goes especially for Usui’s (that’s his name, right?) self-criticism. Criticizing one’s self is an attempt to soften the blow one would receive if someone else said it first. The part with being criticized by a beautiful person, while a little strange at first, is something I’m sure I’ve witnessed one or two times in the past in high school. A person would much rather accept criticism from a beautiful person rather than, shall I say, unattractive person. In the end though, I think the issues addressed here are aimed towards telling people that they should be content with who they are and not try to bring attention to themselves and to take criticism constructively, unless of course the person doing said criticizing is just being an asshole.
