Episode 10 "Kibara Chuui-hou"
Overall, the story was good. It stayed true to its novel. Perhaps 30 minutes is just the right time for such a length of a chapter.
The scene at the bakery was done well, especially the little details of Yoshino eating the nut on her green-tea crepe. Too bad that Rei-sama's hair didn't get caught in the tart. Ikezawa Haruna did a good job in acting Yoshino's mind set in trying to calm her anger with vain, exploding in anger almost giving away her rosario once again.
Still, I wonder if the non-novel readers would understand that episodes for last week, this week, and next three weeks are taking place simultaneously. To me, it didn't seem like the meeting at the Yamayurikai was the same one as from last week...
This is the first glimpse I saw of Yoshino and Rei-sama's homes. Perhaps I had something different in mind that I had an image that their homes would be of traditional build - and I was a little surprised that they were more modern. I wonder where Hasegura's dojo is? It doesn't seem it is big enough to encompass a personal dojo.
Hmm, something is missing in the scene where Yoshino throws her school shoes on the floor. In the novel Yoshino's dialogue with Yumi was with a more sarcastic tone. But still, this is a little minor place that can be overlooked. On the other hand, I believe that it still lacks the "punch" that there isn't the scene where the three second-year students sigh in melancholy in the school hallway.
Tanuma Chisato cuts off her hair. Her appearance in this season with more dialogue made a good impression.
Yoshino starts pondering about finding a soeur. Foreshadow of her promise with Eriko-sama, perhaps...
The second half seemed a little bit at a higher pace, withdrawing some of the "spaces" between each conversation. However, it was still rounds up nicely.
....And next week, we finally get to "Rainy Blue." I am very interested in hearing how Touko-chan will make an impression to all of you in this episode...
