That’s why you became a lolicon, right?

I figured that I’d be blogging nonstop since school is out now, but I have hardly had a chance to breath. I saw enough of all these people all year long and now they wanna spend every waking hour of the summer with me too? YEESH! Oh well, here I am with the dilatory post on Kure-nai episode 7 (episode 8 will be subbed pretty soon and I hope to get that written up in a decent amount of time).

Some of you viewers/readers may not have enjoyed this episode near as much as the previous musical fiasco, but personally I felt that the show was getting back on track more with this one. I’ll admit, I haven’t read the light novels so I don’t really know the storyline of the show, but episodes like this seem like they’d fit closer to what little amount of story that has happened.

Summary:

Tamaki and Yamie stay in Shinkurou’s room to keep Murasaki company by watching television with her. I’m sure at this point, or probably previously, the viewer wonders “What do those two women actually do?” Well, in this episode we get to see Tamaki wear something other than sweats and do something other that lay around in Shinkurou’s room; She takes Murasaki to her college campus with her in order to find a good guy. Yamie promises to cover for the two of them so that Shinkurou wont get angry, and, once again, Tamaki is on a man hunt.

When they arrive Murasaki starts noticing differences between college and Shinkurou’s school, that’s when Tamaki is confronted by an acquaintance. Obviously the two don’t get along and Murasaki’s inquisitions are only adding fuel to the fire. The quibble grows into an argument about boys and how Tamaki steals boyfriends away and how that girl hates her, blah blah blah. In short, Tamaki’s a slut. She starts talking about a new boy that the girl likes and ends up getting punched.

The two of them then go sit down to have some juice during lunchtime. She tells Murasaki how she has probably been with 20 men (what a whore!). Then her current boy toy comes up wanting to talk; however, since Murasaki is present Tamaki insists that they put off the conversation. Turns out he just wanted to break up with her. Upon hearing this, her attitude changes and she is suddenly more than willing to work on the relationship and ditch Murasaki. He gets defensive and tries to get away and then Tamaki turns into a mega rude person and raises her arm to strike the boy. But, Just then, in an instant, her soon to be ex goes into uber wussy mode and cowers in fear under her oppressive fist! It works. Tamaki backs off and he continues to whimper like a 3 year old. Either she is absolutely the worst girlfriend ever or she has the best best best best BEST taste in boys ever!

Tamaki and Murasaki go to a little cafe in order to have juice. Tamaki lays on the table in severe depression and Murasaki tries to cheer her up. She gets through to the freshly dumped girl and they happily brush off what has recently happened and return to their man hunt. They cup they hands, put them to their eyes, and look out the window to try and spy a good man. Then, like a bullet through the forehead, Tamaki sees her ex with another girl and falls back into depression, questioning whether or not she is even a good person. She starts talking about all sorts of things like changing her hairstyle and the way she dresses just to impress this guy. Then she comments on how overly excessive girls are useless and bad. Murasaki starts putting some of Tamaki’s descriptions to Yuuno’s case and she ends up coming to realize a little bit of the older girl’s pain, but, more importantly, she is convinced that Shinkurou is being deceived. So she starts to rush out only to be stopped by a heavy door. Tamaki goes to pay the bill and a man by the counter notices Murasaki and realizes that she is from the Kuhouins – she’s now been spotted and their location is now known since the man tailed them back.

By now Shinkurou is back home and is upset that Yamie would lie to him. His conversation with her is cut short when Murasaki runs up to alert her of what has come to her attention. She tries to tell him to break up with Yuuno (even though they aren’t really dating).

At the end of the episode we get to see how the Kuhouins operate a little bit more and how Souju died. In short, Benika was in charge of the security for the Inner Sanctuary and she often talked with Souju. Her views from the outside world got Souju’s attention and, by Kuhouin standards, warped her mind. Souju was then tossed aside because she didn’t fit in with the family. and the new wife was chose. Renjou continued to love Souju, but he could no longer consider her a wife as she was forbid to consider Murasaki her daughter, but he continued to see her and she cared for Murasaki. After a while, Souju couldn’t bear it. She overdosed and left Murasaki a note revealing the truth to her. That she was indeed her mother. Benika was thrown from the house for being the source of the problem. Of course we know that she later comes back to fulfill Souju’s wishes and take Murasaki out of the Inner Sanctuary, but now that Murasaki’s location is known to the Kuhouins, chances that the sanctuary will have its little princess back are pretty good.

Thoughts:

I feel that Murasaki probably learned a lot from being with Tamaki all day. I never really realized how much of a slut Tamaki was though. I mean, it has been making references to her being vile and what-not and she does make the occasional comment that raises an eyebrow, but I always figured that she was kidding with Shinkurou. Nope! This episode shows her true slutty bitchiness. I suppose she’s the type that’s mean to everyone but the guy she is dating (I know that type all too well).

Also, I luled when Shinkurou was accused of lolicon.
