Last week, Behoimi+Media. This week Rokugou-san+Igarashi-sensei. *rubs chin* Fumu fumu... huh, wha, where was I..?

You know, as the new semester begins, I've found myself watching less and less anime. I've also been generally caring less and less about the anime I used to watch. It almost feels as if Pani Poni Dash and Gokujou Seitokai are all I watch now. Not that I mind. The new season's starting soon, after all.

Well anyhow, yet another enjoyable episode from Pani Poni Dash, this time centered around Rokugou-san (whose real name I can finally remember). I'm glad they gave her some time -- she seemed like such a suspiciously uninteresting person.

Apparently, she's been spending time with Igarashi-sensei and her fancy European car. So much time, in fact, that she's developed a bit of a crush on the dangerously alcoholic teacher (it's anime. go figure.. ( ´∀｀)ノ). When her friends suspect she might have a boyfriend, however, they see little reason not to thoroughly butt into the situation, and much hilarity ensues. Oh Jiijii, thank you for reaffirming the horrible sterotype that old people are crazy, and should never drive.

Much like this entry has been, the entire episode was pretty random, with a number of scenes that seemed to come out of nowhere, from Himeko and Ichijou-san playing badminton, to Behoimi coming in contact with Kami-neko to the Alien kanchou making up his own story as to why Rokugou is named.. well... Rokugou. But that's what we love about this show, right?

Also, some interesting and cute new BGM debuted this episode. I especially liked the one playing while Rokugou was making googly eyes at Igarashi-sensei (girl crush my ass). Though I still don't know if I'd feel safe driving with her...

Well, that was a long break.. oh well, all the episodes I skipped sucked, anyhow.

And so the Taiikusai comes along to Miyagami Gakuen. What the hell? Didn't summer end like 10 episodes ago? It's rare that one would see time move so slowly in anime. But whatever. Thankfully, we never have to sit through any tired sports festival gags.

Kanade's grandfather dies (gasp). Kanade decides to take over the Jinguuji family with her mad ambiguous sup3r powarz. Thus, she announces that she's dropping out of school in front of the entire student body. WTF?? No Kanade = no Miyagami Gakuen!

Allow me to stop there and rant about something I've been complaining about with almost every episode of this show.
Jesus, the art sucked.
Now, I'm really starting to get rather fed up with it all, since this show is once again showing its surprisingly impressive serious side, and the animation is positively leagues behind the acting of Junko Noda, Chiwa Saito etc, etc. I know I point it out every time, and I must apologize, but it can really ruin some scenes..

Anyhow, where was I? Oh yeah. One by one, the Gokujou Seitokai falls apart, from Nanaho vowing to drop out along with Kanade, to Kuon declaring her secret undercover mission of secrecy kaput. But that won't stop Kaori! Oh no, she leaves her younger siblings to fend for themselves while she goes out to find her Kanade-sama. Much to her surprise, she finds Rino had the same thing planned... as did everyone else. Seina even brought transportation! Look out evil doers! There's a busload of school girls headed your way, and they are so ready to open up a can.

*huge sigh*

And so the climax comes along to Miyagami Gakuen. Here's to hoping it will be a good one, and here's to hoping that most of the animation budget was saved for these last two eps. *thumbs up!*
