Minami Ke Betsubara
I prefer cheese and mushroom risotto!
I had a completely opposite reaction compared to Aroduc who felt that:
The first couple parts weren’t great, but I did enjoy both of the Valentine’s Day bits.
Maybe it's because I felt rather bad for both Maki and Fujioka.
And I find myself in complete agreement with Chris' reaction to the first vignette:
I found it very amusing how Hayami’s games with Hosaka backfired on her in a most satisfying way.
Hosaka constantly entertains with his antics but I'm ever so pleased that he's exerted a positive influence on Chiaki. If only she had called him 'Curry Fairy' to his face!
the faces of Uchida
Sweet, sour, spicy and bitter LOL. I've mentioned previously how much I enjoy Uchida screentime. In Okaeri, I'm happy to say that she's still Got It.
The moral of Chiaki's Tanuki Story
is that you can get away with anything if you're cute. Such as BEING FRIENDLY with lolis. Chiaki's tanuki story was a great rejoinder to Kana's tanuki story; I also love it because it just fuels the mystery of whether Chiaki knows about Mako-chan's real identity - personally I'm leaning towards the school of thought that says she knows but ignoring it simply because the status quo is such great fun.
asread atones for Okawari with Okaeri
Ever since SHUFFLE! I have been watching asread's career with great interest. But Minami Ke Okawari was a big disappointment, not so much due to the art or animation but because the humour compared poorly to the first season by They of the Cabbage Love, Doumu. The three Minami sisters just seemed off-kilter; Haruka alternated between being hapless and mean; Kana was unlovably stupid; Chiaki was too bratty.
I was arguing with Stripey that Ga-Rei Zero has been disappointing. Because Kagura was whiny - definitely not a Good Job from Minorin here. The middle part was just dumb. See also #2-5 in Baka Raptor's post. *But* having just read tjhan raging on the manga (which I didn't pick up because I thought the art was fugly), I'm starting to think that Ga-Rei Zero was another case of asread being able to make the most out of rather poor source material so I'll still give it Good Job overall. But not as far as declaring it the top series for Fall 08.
Minami Ke Okawari 13
Again, I agree with most of what Aroduc's said about this episode in particular and the series as a whole. But evoking Totali Love Power, there were three characters that caused me much merriment in Okawari: Uchida, Touma and Hayami-senpai.
Minami Ke Okawari 11
Kana chao keng MC. Conscripts around the world raise their thumbs to her and say with one voice: Good job!
Meanwhile Totali joins me in saying once more: 'I can't believe Touma's voiced by Nana Mizuki!!!'
Minami Ke Okawari 9
I wonder how much this elder-younger sister school exchange is going to figure in the later episodes?
Minami Ke Okawari 8
