“I am HAPPY !” 嬉しいな顔、ね？

This episode featured Kushieda Minori,the hyperactive teen who has apparently been living her life a little too positively(Zetsobu sensei reference wtf?).Speaking of which,Zetsobu sensei was a real funky title to digest for me though.Ryuji spent most of the episode drooling over Kushieda.It seems like Kushieda is somewhat of a weirdo in all aspects.Loud,bursting with life,vivacious,and perhaps a little too much of that for your average teen with a disgustingly positive outlook on life.I was not convinced though.I’ll talk about that later.

Take two!!

So Kushieda apparently is really active in terms of her social life.Softball team captain,holding multiple jobs at once.Pseudo maid girl,karaoke slut,you name it.Ryuji is of course blabbering nonsense about how “キラ~キラ”(sparkling/radiant) she is while getting his ass kicked by Taiga.Unconscious jealousy?Perhaps.The was a side plot developing with Kitamura and Taiga,when they met by chance when Taiga was delivering goods at her forced job.I’m now convinced that the animators intend to save the spoilers about what happened between Kitamura and Taiga last year a secret and unfolding it as we go along,which would mean we did not completely ditch the novel’s original storyline with them just skipping that part.By the way….Taiga can’t ride a bike.Awww…

Dogs have very distinct markings on hem.Some at birth,some induced.Take “Pochi” here for instance.

Meanwhile Ryuji is doing ecchi things with Minori while they accidentally got locked in a storage room.NOT.Well he should have.Instead he sings songs and plays baseball.But its here where I saw another side of Kushieda.Mainly her soft side.I had a sneaking feeling that Minori is just puting on a mask with all this insanity.Working 10 jobs at once?Insanely positive outlook on life? When your trembling in a dank storeroom with Ryuji,I can see that there is more to that than a personality disorder.

“Okay so do I jump on her directly or from behind?” —Ryuji’s inner mind

My hypothesis is that she’s hiding some secret etc from everyone.I believe that Ryuji was only attracted to her in the first place because of that fake front she was putting up.Smiling all the time,having the confidence to do anything.The total opposite of himself.Someone to look up to.Reminds me of the weirdo girl from NHK in Yokoso’s case.Though I hope I’m wrong….
But Taiga rescues them in the end…err sort of.

Owners tend to have great emotional bonds to their pets.Take for instance how the owner punishes “Pochi” for its misbehavior,all out of love.

So…besides the fact that some people commented about the drop in production quality,it was OK.Yes the quality dropped,I noticed it too but what the heck,we can blame that on the economy.

Random shit:

Besides that,I’m pondering on whether to buy Claymore or Ouran,(by Funmation).I saw the shit they did with Ouran when they streamed the stuff for free and I’m not impressed.Its those stupid voice actors again.Can’t be helped since voice acting isn’t actually a lucrative job market out there….
