Does anyone still want me blogging this show? I think Omni does a fine job of summarizing the episodes and I don’t have much to say other than “Poor Rui” and “why must Tsukushi pick the Tsundere guy?” Oh and Jiro’s crying scene was really awful because it looked like he was trying to be one of those Higurashi characters contorting his face on and off to make it look like he was crying.

Won’t somebody please think of the children bishounen!

It seems like next week Rui won’t let go of Tsukushi and Shigeru won’t let go of Tsukasa making it a perfect Love Square.

Whoaaaa can’t the creator of Hoshi no Koe ever make a HAPPY ENDING? Would it kill you to spend more time on your story instead of showing us pretty backgrounds for 24 minutes? I mean I realize background is important in an episode and all but why must you sacrifice story and character design? Seriously the character look like aliens to me. I know I’m gonna get bricked by all the fanboys telling me that this is the best thing EVAR11111!!!!ONE but honestly let’s step back and compare this to other “sad X in snow“. The whole time I sat there going “Am I watching that Hedgehog’s Dilemma episode of Eva? Is Shinji on another train? What?” Then he FINALLY gets to see the girl in the last like 4 minutes, eats her bento, kisses her and then he moves away to Kagoshima. I looked it up on google maps and it’s like WAYYYYY down there. Probably involves a flight or so (perhaps the distance from New Jersey to South Carolina. :roll:) Oh yea and to add on to the emoness (and sad boys in snow) he’s at the prime emotional age of 13. I am told there’s a couple more episodes but I can only imagine more sad X in snow/rain/sakura trees/trains….with no happy ending.

Well at least the backgrounds were pretty! (And I got a not so detailed make out scene.)
