And so our magical girl show no. 1 of this season has come to an end. They pretty much rushed it in all the wrong places and dragged it out in all the wrong ones as well. I will make a few notes below to what they have skipped. Overall though I guess it was an okay show. As I have stated over and over, the show was really watered down from the game and potentially COULD have been a bit longer. Also they really made Sumomo into a crybaby here, without actually showing that she had grown out of it - aside from the last episode (where I honestly feel she SHOULD have cried because it was something worth crying over.) They also skipped the scene where Sumomo confessed to Tsuwabuki saying that she liked him, because she was hoping it would trigger his memory. They also skipped the part where despite the fact that he politely tells her he doesn’t remember much, she wants to give him her virginity. This is actually what would have happened during the anime credits roll: Continue Reading »

Hehe…what the anime viewers got was this:

What the game players however, got was this: Continue Reading »

I caught JP’s cold and my head feels inflated, so not making a long entry on this today. Really disappointed with how much they skipped from last week to this one. Before Haru even got to call Sumomo by her name, they were already visiting Nona who flipped her lid at her own house. In the game, she didn’t flip out at her house, actually she never came out. She ended up flipping out in school in the middle of the field outside. Also Yaeno didn’t have no freaking sword on her to stop Haru. She ended up locking him in the classroom instead lol and I think he ended up jumping out the window to escape or something. Also the scene above felt more romantic in the game…

Upcoming Attractions: Sumomo lives without Haru for a while.

So the last few weeks I was drowning in corny because of the way they handled these last 2 episodes. I felt like I was taken back to 1996 where girls blushed when they accidentally held boys’ hands, and when the thought of kissing made them roll around their bed hugging a pillow. They didn’t clearly state that really the reason Tsuwabuki asked Sumomo out is because he found out (as Yuki-chan) that she liked him. Also the reason that she “ran away” from him wasn’t because “she liked the sensei” =_=; but because she was upset that he didn’t ask her to go out with him at first…but rather just said “I like you”…she she got all upset thinking that he didn’t actually like her until..he said it again =.=;; Also what’s with Nobuko x Keisuke? In the game, it was really obvious she had a bit of a crush on Tsuwabuki at first o_o. I also don’t like how they degraded Nona down to a “bad guy of the week” role. She’ll show up, bitch about some challenge, get her ass kicked by the amazing Sumomo, and then go off crying about it or something. I wish they’d give her more real screen time to develop her as a character, rather than an annoying plot device.

And also, the kiss scene in the game was 20 times better than what the anime did =_=;;

I dunno….it just doesn’t feel like Sumomo & Haru were “developed” enough to convince me they’re in love with each other. It was so chopped up that while I love this kind of stuff, in this case it floods me in a sea of corny.

Upcoming Attractions: Sumomo discovers Haru’s secret.

So after fighting a mass mob of fruit flies and bleaching my apartment, I finally got a chance to watch this episode. (Now all the comments are gonna be about the first sentence of this post instead of the episode.) It seems they didn’t have the whole valentine cookie giving thing. Looks like Sumomo just “happened” to be talking to the sensei and Tsuwabuki getting all jealous because of that. (which is kinda dumb but anyway) The other part was that Tsuwabuki got so jealous that as Yukichan he ended up avoiding Sumomo for a week which made her really upset. Eventually when he came back he found out about the first day of school event with her. Continue Reading »

So this week is the camping episode and the animators made sure that we all knew that Nobuko has an F cup. I thought they’d really censor or even cut out the bath scene but to my surprise they didn’t. They even added a “UMI DA!” scene which I don’t recall in Sumomo’s story. Also this week they apparently changed the whole Sumomo side to Nona side during the nightly Test of Courage.

So I guess they’re taking the route of making Sumomo a little “jealous” of all the scenes of Nona and Tsuwabuki. In Sumomo’s story, he ended up doing the test with her and they walked over to some abandoned shack and that’s where they discussed the stars. The beach scene in the anime was cute though so I’m not complaining. The only bizarre thing to me was at the end when Tsuwabuki got up and didn’t say anything to her because “she has someone she likes”. I don’t recall him being jealous in the game until he saw Sumomo giving cookies to the teacher.

Upcoming Attractions: Woeeaaow confessions already?? What about the cookies! THE COOKIES!

There were a few differences from the game this week but generally the episode followed the story sequence. For all I know it could maybe be part of Nona’s story that I didn’t play but I’m just going by Sumomo’s story which I did play. So they decided to put the swim episode before the camping one for some reason. This throws a few things off because in this episode Sumomo finds out that Nona is Prima Asperas, and she will now know this during the camping trip (next week)…when she didn’t know in the game.
