I believe this show has reached the stage of win. And all it took was a more girly Kuu and the introduction of Sakura. With her amusing blend of delusional humour and the rest of the show pulling out some comedy stops, this became an extremely enjoyable episode that I could sure do with some more of.
I feel sorry for Sakura really… trying to confess to Noboru when he is too distracted by the new catastrophes in his life, namely the socially deprived Kuu and Kou. I loved his chain of though as they planned to go home to make some hot cakes… Hot Cakes, Frying Pan, Gas, Explosion, Fire, Financial Setback…. Bankruptcy!
Also trying to puzzle out Noboru’s situation led to Sakura imagining many of the more ridiculous (and some cliche) shoujo plots and also led us to some gems like Meido Kou. Sakura made this whole episode full of win.
Her thoughts on Kuu were quite hilarious too. Kuu being more girly in this episode was excellent too. I have chosen to ignore the existence of a male form… It is just better for my mental health. Kuu in the her ‘newest fashion’ was a sight to see.
Last note, lucky bastard. I do truly look forward to more of this… Enjoyable ride all the way XD
Oh God, Lelouch, you got Rollo onto your side through an impressive emotional baiting game while pulling off yet another fun Britainian owning. Lelouch is entirely back on form it seems. Rollo’s Geass is completely discovered by Lelouch in a bit of foreplanning that made little sense for him to do but whatever. Rollo’s past is somewhat revealed as well. I think we can definitely rule out all those Rollo may be Nunally theories going around… Also, Rollo as a Shouta Assassin was hilarious to see as is Rollo’s Shinji Ikari moment.
This episode’s owning of Britainia was reminiscent of episode 23 of the last season. Why must everything be built on easily destroyed foundations. What would Lelouch use then!? Seriously, this was a great reveal totally throwing you off as you try to figure out exactly what Lelouch was doing. And using the shield to board it down to safety was hilarious. Guilford was thoroughly beaten in this exchange. Tell that to your creepy Cornelia plate!
I have no clue why Li Xingke made such a big deal last episode to which he only just struck a deal in the end to kill off the politician. A lot of speculation for nothing…
Awwww… C.C. can’t assemble a handgun…. is it just me or was she especially moe in this scene… The new outfit helps…
Excuse me but… ‘Kaguya-Hime!!’ There seems to be a bigger plan coming from what we hear Diethard telling Sayako. I so want to see more of these characters… so badly… Kaguya-Hime! I swear she will actually have a purpose later on. I swear!
Oh yeah and the backstabber is back at school. I want to see how pissed Lelouch is interacting with Suzaku casually while deep down inside he wants to snap his neck. This should be fun and the Loli Knight gets more screen time too. Really i want them to maybe fasten the pace and move from the whole school scene but that depends on how it goes in the next episode I guess.
Also, sorry for the lateness of this post. Not as fast as usual because my internet decided to die on me and refused revival. orz. This is a problem only Ruki should have…
