oyceterSomeday, I will actually have content that isn't anime- or manga-centric, I swear.
Ep. 18
Eeee! Backstory! And while my strange, meta, crazy series continues to crack me up, it's getting more serious as well, which is slightly odd.
I loved the episode on Honey, though I wish there were one on Mori as well. I totally cracked up at the whole alien thing, especially at Honey’s expression while eating cake in the middle of the night! Except now I want strawberry shortcake as well...
And while Tamaki's sweet and caring side really doesn’t surprise me, given that it’s such a trope, I still love it. I love him telling Honey that Honey should be himself, even though it ends up being silly. And then, the craziness starts again, with Honey not relenting about cake-eating!
Ep. 19
All I really can say about this is that the Lobelia girls never fail to make me laugh! Also, I can’t believe I didn’t note it till I read the manga. But the white lily club name is probably a reference to yuri (means "lily" in Japanese). *snorfle*
The make-up! Haruhi's dad returns! The mechanical acting of doom! The fact that they actually remember Haruhi's first kiss and bring it up again!
Ep. 20-21
Oooo, now things are getting interesting. In light of ep. 21, I wonder which twin is actually narrating ep. 20? Unlike Haruhi, I can't tell them apart. But I couldn't have adored Tamaki more -- his persistance, his silliness, the way he says touching things without quite realizing it. I loved that the title card for the episode came after the twins opened the door to the third music practice room. I love that the series is actually taking the twins seriously and not using them just as a sight gag. I love that they do have distinct personalities and that there is angst about becoming individuals on their own, even though they both desire it. I'm guessing that some of the rage and frustration from the twins' fighting episode wasn’t just a mask that they put on to get invited to Haruhi's house.
And poor Kaoru, watching as Hikaru and Haruhi walk off together!
In conclusion, Nekozawa-sempai is never, ever, ever going to stop being funny.
