Itazura na Kiss 07 - Revenge.

Flavor: Sweet
Yeah, I ended up following this show. Even though the characters in this series get on my nerves most of the time, I’ve found myself having a lot of fun watching it every week.
Well, this episode focused on Kotoko and Irie’s high school graduation. Both Kotoko and Kin-chan are chosen to give a speech during the ceremony, but they end up screwing up… badly. After that, we get to see Kotoko’s failed attempts to get Irie’s second button and a good picture with him (well, in the manga I think she actually DOES get her nice photo… here Kin-chan randomly shows up behind them and ruins it). Also, let me tell you that I didn’t mind having this Kinnosuke guy around before, but in this episode he got so annoying that he’s become my most disliked character in the show.

Seriously, I can’t even imagine High Schoolers doing something like this on their free time.
Flavor: Sour
Wow, this is like the most boring episode from the overall series so far. It reminded me of that episode in .hack//Liminality where all the characters did was talk in various places. In this one, half of the time was spent on showing Yoshiyuki and Otome researching together about the magical sakura tree and all the trouble it’s causing around the island. Then we get to see old Jun’ichi again having a chat with the kids about what happened in the past dealing with the magical wish granting thing, and in the end Anzu reveals how she managed to obtain her super ability to never forget anything. Really, if all you’re gonna do is talk, then at least do it about something interesting/shocking or that we hadn’t realized before!

Finally. I had to watch this one with Chinese subs because I never managed to find the RAW.

Well, this is probably the arc that all the Junjo Egoist fans have been waiting for. This episode covered half of the story so it’s most likely gonna end on the next one. Anyways, it starts out with Nowaki returning from America after being absent for one year, something that Hiro doesn’t seem too happy about since he doesn’t remember ever hearing anything about this trip. In fact, the first thing he does after seeing him back is kicking him on the head and running away lol.

These True Tears are so not for me.

This show ended while I was gone so I didn’t have the chance to write some kind of a final impressions post for it. But now that there’s nobody who cares about this series that much anymore, I might as well write everything I didn’t feel like saying when this show was all popular and stuff.

WTH get dat bitch out of my boyz luv, plz
Flavor: Mild
Well, since they went and crammed up the first two chapters of the Hiro x Nowaki pairing, we didn’t get a second Junjo Egoist episode like it should’ve been supposed to… and instead we’ve been sent back to the main storyline with Usagi and Misaki. Bad news for the fans of the second pairing, I guess.

Haha, take that!

This week’s episode was centered around the tsuntsun sister, yet for some reason I ended up enjoying it… maybe the fact that the animation quality was pretty high this time helped a bit.
Anyways, I’m sure there was also an ski trip event thing in the game, though I really doubt you could actually get to see it on Yume’s path. Huh, at least it was still a kinda important episode for Yume’s storyline, since the whole Yume trying to avoid the snow accident but failing in the end stuff was there to show that *spoiler, highlight to read* Yume is unable to alter the future, and whatever event she ends up foreseeing in her dreams is gonna happen anyways no matter how hard she tries to change everything… except in this case it’s like she didn’t even try because she practically decided to go out to ski in the end =P. Oh, well…
