わたしも便利の冷し中華がだいすきだ。

In these day and age there's really no food that are 時間限定 anymore, where you get pretty much get anything to eat any season. So the needs to have 冷し中華 in the summer is quite questionable. But at least the fact that 冷し中華 is pretty good is one thing that I personally agrees. And like 小夜子 I find those sold in fast food or 便利 as the one that taste the best. (That's because I pretty much only get it from there) The fact that I saw it in the show have make me wanting to go get some...

Anyhow this week ep isn't all that funny nor special in my opinion, as it just really feature a light plot featuring time travel and the cause and effect of it as usual. If there's anything that was funny in my opinion it's カヤ needs to not admits defeat... In over all, all the jokes seem like a recycle of what we have saw so far.. Like the plot about 加奈子 and やよゐ cooking...

ニンフちゃんは可愛すぎた。

Finally the much awaited ニンフちゃん have arrives into the show and to me she is one of the most awaited character. After all compared to イカロス, I liked ニンフ much more. Not only limited to her character design but also her personality too. I guess that's pretty much because unlike イカロス who lack much of the human emotions, ニンフ have a bit too much. And I really really hopes that we get to the point of her true feelings is awaken in the anime.

If you feel that there's some missing content between this ep and the last one, you are correct. The show have skipped over the first true meeting between イカロス and ニンフ. Which basically mean we skipped over why ニンフ was sent to Earth and some of the background development on イカロス. But judging from the way this week ep develops, I would believes that they intents to lead a bit of information as  to what happened during that event a little at a time. Till there's enough of an build up of content that they would do that plot. 

Some of the related plot are the reaction of ニンフ as she watches イカロス protecting 智樹. But to me the number one important scene in this week ep must have been the yelling that 智樹 did to イカロス, calling that she was not mean to be like this. Due to the way it was spoken the speech itself was quite miss leading. The only thing I would say is to note the scene just before it and 智樹 feelings toward イカロス who can never sleep. 

As for the rest of the show it's the sea plot that was in the manga. By now I do think that most peoples can see that even though 智樹 may not seem mature from the outside. But deep with in he seem to know what's important and what's not. Two plot that develops this really well are そはら falling into the sea and the scene at night with イカロス. Especially the scene at night, cause it's beautify done and reproduced the scene in the manga.

As for ニンフ, I really looks forward to seeing more of her later on.... Next week someone decided to go to school.

これはたぶん深夏の話を終わったね。

This week ep should pretty much completes the story for 深夏 as we even learn of one important event in the ep. That's the back and white scene, the first meeting between 深夏 and 鍵. As I have mentioned before they are definitely going to put the reason why 鍵 wanted to join the 生徒会 and why he tries so hard to maintain this relaxed 生徒会 atmosphere as the end plot of this show. One of the most important aspect toward that goal beyond what happened to 鍵 and his rumor of once having 2 girl friends, are the first meeting he have with which of the 生徒会 members. As such I do fully expect that the story featuring mainly 深夏 should be done now as they must spend the remaining eps on the 3 other girls and their story.

First half of the show is on brain storming a theme for this year 学園祭. Which is pretty funny given the reaction from everyone when アカちゃん asked everyone else and almost instantly rejected their idea right away. But to me, 真冬's idea is the most funny and ofcouse her reaction when 深夏 pulled her out of the room. I guess even though she say that she will never forget 鍵 in her life, I don't think 鍵 really wanted to know the reason why.

The latter part is about why 深夏 and 真冬 is going to transfer to a different school and what 鍵 did to try and maintain the much loved 生徒会 together. I personally liked this part alot as it shown the story not only can be filled with joy. But when needed they can make quite a nice emotional story too (relatively). The little attention to detail starting from the beginning with the food then the reaction of the teacher toward 深夏 also adds a nice touch toward the flow of the story.

やばり、誰も自分の物語がある・・・

Not sure whether they are trying to tell us that everyone have their only story and in it they are the main character. That's why it seem almost like all those characters (女子限定) are beautifully design and drawn to a point that it feel almost like they could be the main character in some other story. In a sense this is much like this story as 美琴 although were an important character in とある魔術の禁書目録 is still only a character surrounding the main hero. But now here we are, in her very own story.

This week is 一日Judgmentになった for 美琴, the story is basically the same as the one in the manga. Serves both as a little insight seeing into what it mean to be judgment in the city and as a opening plot to the first sub story line. Basically it's the appearance of explosive in the city starting with harmless can to bag and now to dolls where it can do some real damage to anyone close to it when it blow up. I mentioned this is just a sub story because this story is part of an even bigger one that is continued to be layed down with little detail here and there. Basically there's 2 time to notices, first is why the explosive started small and then eventually got bigger. And second... which have been hinted at more than once in the show is the music players...

As for 美琴 a day worth of experiences, it's pretty well done ofcouse there are some altering in the story. Like how she was mistaken into being a member. In the manga she was just simply mistaken and the person that mistaken her didn't really listened to her explanation. To me instead of following the manga, the altering of the story to show 美琴 as some one that is not willing to admit defeat is much better. The second major changes is who 美琴 followed on her day of work, in the manga it's the judgment member that was holding the shield at the store. Basically that girl and 固法先輩 switched role, but nothing else is changed. And since 固法先輩 is quite popular in the manga I can personally understand why the switch.

Personally I liked how they depicted 美琴 personality and her scared of insects really well in the shows. And ofcosue the chance to have 固法先輩 on top of her... I can't imagine the reaction of 黒子 if she ever were to find out. Finally is the ability to go into that gap... I guess to 美琴 that's not only hurt her feet but her feelings as well.

Finally, 黒子 reaction at the end of the show is the best!!!

ちょっと微妙になった？

This week brings a bit of a strange feelings as I am watching the show, as I have a strong sense that the over all quality seem to have dropped some what. After double checking some of the scenes, there's definitely a noticeable drop in drawing quality on the character face or proportion in some of the less focused part. But when the image on screen are important the quality are returned back to normal. I wonder if this is an actual early sign that this show is running out of stream? As it's quite common now a day to have show that only starts to drop in quality after 4 ro 5 eps.

Although the drawing is a bit strange here and there the over story is quite enjoyable this week. Cause it's the two characters that I have been waiting for ever since the first sighting of them in the opening theme so many ep ago making their official first appearance. And unlike last week where we were pretty much tricked into thinking the ep would be featuring them. This week is really all about them, the 桐島 sisters. Basically it seem like those two are going to become the follower of 潤平 too (well for sure one of them).

The reason that she would like him... well was pretty much guess able when you read the text message carefully. But what I really want to say is that when ever I see those two together I keep seeing the cat tails tiring together. (I wonder if this scene in the opening would become classic?) Strange shadow covered the fan service in this ep... a bit strange to actually see it in this show cause there's so many times where they could place fan service in the show and didn't, so why now?

Latter half of the show is resolving the cats problems again... not much I want to comment. But the minor plot here is about 楓 and how 潤平 is able to avoid making her sharing the curse just by learning that he have it. Beyond that was pretty much that even 加奈子 seem to be helping her and 潤平 together...

やはり今回はおもしろかった。

As expected this week part 2 of the 学園祭 is much more interesting than last week part one thanks to the much lesser degree of omitting contents from the novel. Still there are some major changes to the plot, the most noticeable one is the earlier introduction of 水琴. If I don't remember it incorrectly she were to be introduced after the 学園祭 and that her knowing ナツル is a けんぷファー didn't come after next week plot. But I guess it doesn't matter now cause the show have already omitted other other red band member and so there's no conficts. And now that she have joined in earlier that would mean there's not going to be any combat scene next week? A bit of a disspointment... I guess in exchange she would be joining in the Pocky game?

I don't think I actually have mentioned this before but the show actually did included quite a lot of little details from the novel, although to fully understood those detail would mostly mean you have to have read the novel before hand. Like how 水琴 appear over at ナツル's room with curry in her hand, I don't think they going to explore this too much. But from this point on in the novel we get to see ナツル suffering from Curry meal every single days... Or the sight of 委員長 and 副委員長 in their メイド服 smiling so naturally, cause in the novel those 2 are like one of the worst female characters in the class and seeing them like that in front of the males are really funny.

Anyhow this week main point for me is the メイドような喫茶店 with the 3 most popular girls all sitting together. And ofcouse the speech from 雫 about all the different stuffs... I don't know whether they are going to explain it later in the show but it actually have a purpose. The reason why 雫 used ナツル and talked about her ESP like ability is actually to check 楓's reaction. Cause in this time during the novel they all started to have some question as to what connection 楓 may have with the けんぷファー. Cause although not all those who received her dolls would turn into けんぷファー, but all those who are けんぷファー have received a doll from her. In fact next week plot about visiting 楓's home was actually to search her house for clues and not as a repayment... The only part that I think they story didn't flow too well in the first half is how  委員長 and 副委員長 would allow ナツル to leave with 楓, after all she is the most attracting object to their little shop.

The latter half of the show as I have mentioned is different majorly from the novel. Basically they condensed all the encounter of ナツル, 紅音 and 水琴 combats into one events and moved it forward in time (location are ofcouse different). But the result is the same... The only thing here is the male ナツル in メイド服, which I don't want to see again (ever). Cause in the novel you can just not imagine the scene or just imagine him as still her, but now they shown it it make my eyes hurts.

Next week it's 楓's house party... I wonder if they going to do the bath scene?

アー、やっとしまったね。

The funniest thing to happen in this ep is the final explosion for the house that 智春 and the others have been living in. Just like the news have mentioned that place is dangerous and we have seem it blow up in more and once, finally it have went to heaven. So I can fully understood why some one was able to laugh to her death when she was watching the news.

The first part of the ep is the weakest link in this week ep as they feature the combats. To me if they could have improved the drawing a bit maybe it would have gained a pass but as it stand not only is it not that well done. But also because of the strange style it's quite bad to your eyes.... Not to mention the fact that we are pretty much forced to spend half the ep in watching their chasing scene. The only conclusion I have after watching is that those two are immortal... given the strength and power they have.

The second part of the story is the much needed explanation on some basic events. Like 智春's brother is actually dead... But to me the most shocking news is definitely the reason why 操緒 would become the core of those robot. Although I still have a bit difficulties in fully understand all of what this explanation fully mean but it definitely raises a few more questions. First of all is what's 智春 intention is with the younger him in this world.. Or what sort of possible ending can we see in this story... Cause if 智春 and 操緒 were to be together than 奏 will die... or if 奏 and 智春 together than 操緒 is a bad end... Some how a happy ending is not possible?

Next week seem like we get at least the intention parts explained.

あきらめないよ！女子部を作りなさい・・・

A bit sad that 女子部 form was rejected by the teacher last week cause this would mean that 朱宮 wouldn't be making more appearance. But that the fact that her present were not find any where in school have mean that if she reappear again she would have to come up with a reasonable answer for everyone. I guess one way she could have appear more in the show could be that they all meet after school?

This is way I think this week 朋絵 and みやこ wanting to continue their activities together with everyone after school (mainly to come up with method to create 女子部) is quite important. At least I hope that this after school event would continue to a point where 朱宮 would be forced to join later on. Cause with a home setting instead of school there chance for this and that to happens. As this week we get to see all 4 of the girls in メイド服. And at a person level I do think that 純夏 most likely enjoyed this event the most. Cause not only did she get to see 汐 in cosplay form, but thanks to someone little lies.  She would emotionally moooded by 汐 into trying to cook later on... Although at the end she did fail, but she did get a special service from 汐...

A some what lesser important development is the background description on both 汐 and 純夏 as we learn a bit of their family situation.

それはタブンただの好きじゃなかった・・

Even when I read the manga I have a strong feelings that the relationship between 爽子, 千鶴 and あやね goes a bit beyond just friend. I mean just judging the lack of sleep and what's happening to 千鶴 and あやね life's it seem almost like those two are in love. At least to me the strange depiction of their feelings for 爽子 is a bit over the top. But I guess is this require to create the emotional moment next ep when all the misunderstanding is resolved.

But before that we have our main hero, 翔太 giving an healthy advice toward 爽子. I guess the advice from his isn't that special but for someone like 爽子 who doesn't have much friend nor interaction with anyone else before. Such thinking itself would have been quite shocking and new? Anyhow as expected the show doesn't have a new smile photo for 爽子, but the image of her crying isn't all that bad either.

Next week ep is seeing all the hard works that 爽子 have done up to this point coming to fruits as the problem is resolved. What sort of smile image we are going to see is one of the point of interest for me.

ネコミミの委員長が最高だ！！！

The first of 3 web ep released that are mean to complete the last story that was started at the end of the TV series. And this time it's back to 羽川 with her problem returning to full ever since the instance at spring. I think I mentioned at the start of this plot that ネコミミ of 羽川 is definitely one of the highlight in this plot that make it all the worth while to watch. And this ep is no disappointment with the first time looks  of 羽川's ネコミミ form with out actual transformation. Not only that because she is wearing night wear = nothing under? we get some nice reaction from 阿良々 both in the park and on the bicycle. But still I think I liked the wild cat form of 羽川 the most, not to mention the fact that 堀江由衣 did an excellent job in voicing her.

To me this plot seem to more or less an actually important plot in laying some of the foreshadowing of things to come. The most noticeable is about 忍野's little vampire as she was spotted by herself. Later on we see 忍野 standing by what seem to be ashes on the ground, the only natural thing to think about is that those ashes are the actual remain of someone. Ofcouse at a personal level I do hope that this isn't the case cause that would have been too simple? Also 忍野 repeated mentioning of not much time left seem to be important too.

Other stuff that are quite funny must have been 八九寺 getting attacked by a ロリコン at the beginning and how 戦場ヶ原 definitely is having an upper hand in the relationship.

こんなハーレムを作ったの男！！！

Okey even I myself are starting to find it not quite funny that every week I ended up with the sort of same feeling after watching the show that I just want to have 裕人を殺す。I guess watching someone creating his own ハーレム isn't that great after all, not to mention the fact that his person claim that he isn't. but judging from the result only, he is definitely creating such ending.

This week ep is about 裕人 conquering half of 乃木坂's メイド into this collection by his kindles. But I do believes this is were the fault of his week story shows up the most. Because just a few words from him was able to win the heart of the メイド, it sort of begs the question of what sort of treatment those メイド must have to be so emotionally moved by just a few words.

海のことが説明した・・・

Basically it's the explanation on the little detail that we first saw in the ep by the saw where 加奈子 would turn into an 美少女 by wearing the glasses. So it would make this story actually before that of the sea in term of time line? Anyhow basically seeing 加奈子 translation is the high light of the show, in fact we get to see the transformation 2 times in this ep alone. Some may call it a reuse (and it is) but because it's done so well and funny, I personally have no complain over it. And some how I think there's definitely a trend of seeing 堀江由衣 voicing for character that have multiple personality.

the other aspect in this week ep is the time travel and how one seem to not about to change the past or future... But for me personality rarer than thinking as them unable to really effect the time line, I think more on that they are at equilibrium with the altering. Cause my thinking go that once you reach equilibrium with time altering, than if would seem like your action in the past or future would have no effect. (pretty much the only time you see the effect would be the first time and the times require till you reach equilibrium)

なぜ今回が普通と思った？

I am not quite sure the reason why after I watched this week ep that I have the feelings that it's just not quite up to the same level of interest or love as last few ep did. Is it because last week パッツ第２回 that's too awesome or is it because of the disappointment I have for ニンフ not actually making an appearance? Maybe it's down to the fact that this week ep plot is just not that good?

Unlike the last few ep so far where there's one main plot and a subplot added to it from other less important part of the story. This week ep is make of two entire plot that are separate in the manga, hence there's a bit of a disconnected feelings as they find them self shipped onto the plane to the island. The first part is the background development for 美香子... I guess beyond understand where her dark side came from it's the enjoyment of the エロ feelings that she have around her all the time. There's quite a bit of laying down future plot development here. First ofcouse is イカロス's power, seem like they are going to reveal a bit every ep until we have build up to a point where they will introduces ニンフ into the show and finishes off the rest. Second part is about 英四郎... Although even in the manga his background story are not recovered yet...

Second part is the 1 month experience in the island, if I don't remember it wrong the reason in the manga use just for 美香子 summer reports. but in the show they used the time to explain the need to rebuild the house (I think the manga completed the house in 1 night?). For me the second plot isn't too interesting... The only part that are really done well are the イカロス under water advantage.

One thing I do like the comment about is the SOS symbol on the sand... if you ever do need to make a recuse signal for other to see just note that SOS is actually not been in use for years. The actual word to use is Mayday and there's no need to spell it out on the same. Just make a huge triangle symbol and if you want light fire at the corner, that's the recuse signal.

GOODJOB鍵くん！！！

This week ep have some really major altering on the story from the novel as it's taken from volume 2. In a sense it's taken from one of the worst chapter so far that I have real as the story in the novel feel quite incomplete. The worst part of all were the fact that they just ended the plot at 真冬 attacks after 深夏's brain washing with no real ending at all just chopped from there. So in a sense the staff have understood the needs to alter the plot enough that not much viewer would complain after the ep so they fill in the missing stuff and make the changes needed to allow for a better flow of the story.

What's more ofcouse is the major fanservice... I guess that's pretty much all thanks to 鍵くん as he tries to fill in the missing image of what's going on with his brain. But the fact that they picked 水着 is a bit disconnecting with reality. Cause unless you live somewhere at the bottom of the world it should be winter by now. And just walking outside (for me) it's like 6 degrees only.... But anyhow although I can not really relates to the temperature in the story but I did enjoyed all the beautifuly drawn image. The one that I liked the most are when 真冬 and 知弦 were together... Two of the most favor character in one beautifully drawn scene, 反則じゃない？

The second half of the story is not a plot that I don't actually fully recognized. I say fully cause I do remember one plot spend on talking out knowing more of what each other do outside of the 生徒会. But I don't remember the story happening as it were in the show where they pretty much just focused on to 深夏. Maybe it's from a later plot or maybe like the first half is a major altering of the story line. I personally hopes it's the latter one cause I wouldn't mean at all seeing each character in the show all get a similar plot like this. Ofcouse the best part for the second half came at the end with 深夏 returning into the room with her hair down... I always knew that she was quite charming but the fact that she have let her hair down definitely boosted it up even more. If only that she keep this style all the time, I would bet she would be voted into 会長.

へー、これはぜんぜん変わってじゃないの？

This week ep is past plot of 黒子 and 初春 or more specially the reason the two have become become such good friend. The story is pretty much the same as the one in the manga with few little changes. Even though I know what's going to happen in term of the story, it's still quite enjoyable to watch because both  黒子 and 初春 are so かわいい. Although I have to question their true age cause I don't really believes that in two years time they can have so much changes.

Talking about changes to them, one of the biggest problem in this plot is the fact that if you think about it,  黒子 have not really learn her lesson at all. As she still make the same mistake of taking action with out thinking though on what may happens leads to a situation where she could endanger others with her. Ofcouse luckily this time the two thief doesn't have any sort of super ESP or intention to hurt anyone. But one can definitely see why 初春 would be so mad... I guess this is why 黒子 forgot about the promises because she never taken it by her heart.

The past event... I was expecting it to be a story for 黒子 and 初春 but beyond the fact that they are かわいい... I think the story is actually stolen by 固法先輩, 年上、　メガネ、　おっばい・・・ really does show her charm, not to mention her insight and experience toward the situation really pull her into the sport light for me. Too bad there isn't too much of her appearance in the manga.

美琴 appearance in the show was the same as the manga, which I really liked not only did she saved 黒子. But the fact that 黒子 later fell in love with her is a plus... But to me the number one thing I like about this little details is the fact that 美琴 doesn't appear to remember she ever helped 黒子. That's because she helps so many peoples all the time that it's not possible for her to remember it all.

Next week 美琴の大ピッチ。

凪先輩は思うよりいい人だね・・・

Pretty much like the sentence above my biggest impression after last week ep about 凪先輩 is that she is really and truly a kind person. As this week ep begin with her entering the race for 潤平, but after she learn of his true feelings. Not only did she have exited so calmly but she decided to help him out a hand. Cause given his situation, I doubt if we gave him a 100 years he would have moved his relationship with 楓 forward one bit. After all, not only is he too shy but the fact that there's a big lion (加奈子) out there eyeing on him all the time.

Thus thanks to 凪先輩のせっかい, 楓 learn of 潤平 true feelings toward her. And after that point it's pretty much just watching 楓 reactions toward 潤平 is enough to be call 萌！！！ Not to mention the scene in the ghost house... Although 楓 and 潤平 enjoyed the situation but someone else find it quite sad... and that's 加奈子... I don't know why but every time she have to take action the amination quality increases for no reason at all as is scene in this week plot again. Personally though, I cheer for 楓 cause someone else 幼馴染 setting + huge おっばい = 反則.

though I enjoyed this week ep I find two parts of the plot a bit disspointing... first is the peoples that are protecting 凪先輩, beside that they are バカ I can't really think of anything else. Second is the 双子, I was so excited in waiting to see their appearance in this week ep. But as it turn out only one appear and at the very end of the ep too. I guess the wait would have to be extended to next week?

残念だった・・・半分の面白いことがないして・・・

This week plot is quite heavily altered from the novel to reflect the fact that the show is focused on the comedies and 百合 side of the story and pretty much never actually touches on the けんぷファー aspect. As such the ミスコン plot is pretty much halved and what's left feel a bit shallow as they tries to cover the missing stuff with more comedies and more fan service.

ナツル and 紅音 different cosplay was one such part in this week ep... In the novel it's just pretty much only ナツル getting suffers as their class prepares for 学園祭. I mentioned about their class event that I though may actually be chopped last week (so I going to skip mentioning again here) but it seem like they just going to switch the order. Doing the ミスコン first than class event as hinted in the preview, after all we all want to see メイドナツルさん.

Now onto the stuff that's missing... In the novel this plot of the story actually have a purpose toward the main plot. The part that are chopped are the explanation toward what happened to those that have lost in the game of けんぷファー and why 雫 forced ナツル to come to the girl school. Basically she used him to get rid of her (red) partner who she have suspected all along was send to spy on her by the game creator. Though this it's later explained as to what happens toward those that lost the game (disappear). Basically the flow of the story is about the same just that 雫 parter never appeared on the ミスコン match and the battle became one to fight for ナツル.

The other aspect that was touched on in the novel and to some degree in the anime too is the doll from 楓. As she have passed it out to many peoples in the 学園祭, but not all would become けんぷファー. This is actually important for the story as a whole so they didn't omit all of it, just that it didn't feel like they going explore to much on it either.

As for stuff that I do liked in the this week ep? Well it have to come down to 雫, first is her cosplay on stage, compared to the ナツル and 紅音 who have lost their original costume because the order of event have been flipped. 雫 out fill stayed true to the novel and is pretty decent. Then it's her kiss with ナツル behind the stage... I can't wait till she tell everyone else about it later on, if we ever get to that part of the show.

Next week ep should be better cause I don't think there's too many changes beyond letting someone to appear early.

I guess this is a sort of intermediate ep that are between two major plot. Cause no matter how you see it there's really no real development in this week ep as it's mostly spend on comedies and some light background on 奏. Comedies wise it's not too bad, I mean it's nice to see 奏 and 智春 together all the time but I do find it strange that 操緒 have no rejection what so ever on this situation at all.

The last part of this week is the beginning of the new plot.
