Flavor: Sour

In this episode, Yahiro brings Hikari to his beach mansion and then he decides to use her as a “bait” to make Akira come over to his place, but in the end Kei is again the one who goes there to rescue her. But, really… who cares! The only thing that matters is that this hasn’t really been a good show and that even though I haven’t read the manga, I’ve found myself feeling pretty annoyed at how they’ve handled this series so far.

Sure, these past few episodes didn’t seem to follow that tedious “Hikari tries to defeat Kei in some random challenge” format (which was my main complaint with the first ones), but it doesn’t really matter since what I disliked the most about these kind of episodes (that being Hikari’s unawareness of Kei’s true feelings) is still there. Seriously, I hate Hikari so much that I don’t think I’ve even enjoyed all these pseudo-romantic scenes (such as the ‘kiss’ from this week) they’ve shown so far. Also, the fact that 95% of the jokes don’t make me laugh doesn’t really help either.

Oh, not again!

I don’t feel all that well today, so this entry is gonna be much shorter than usual.

I guess I don’t really have anything else to say about this episode other than it felt pretty much the same as the last one. There was fighting… there was rivalry… there were character introductions… it’s like I was watching Episode 01 all over again! My general complaints with the show haven’t changed either: I still hate the opening theme and Yuuko Gotou’s voice annoys me greatly. Let’s hope the next episode doesn’t end up having the same stuff except now with cooking.

Surely you know what I mean.

Initial reaction: Geez, no OP sequence.

I actually watched this when the RAW came out… I just didn’t know what to write about it. The only complaints I had with this were probably the same as everybody else: the legs, Yuuko’s role as Hikari, that annoying song they played during the, err… “action” scene (aka the OP theme, ugh), etc. Also, I was curious to see why people kept comparing this with Ouran and, yeah, guess I really managed to find some similarities between these two. Overall, this first episode wasn’t as fun as I hoped it to be, but I admit it was still pretty decent so I’m looking forward to the next one.

By the way, I’m planning on reading the manga, although I’m not so sure if that’d be a good idea since I’m afraid I could start hating the show if I did that.
