Spoiler for ARIA the SCARLET AMMO 08 - That Shower of Pom-Pom Confetti...:

That's one way to do a cheerleading routine. Certainly in line with the theme of the school, but a bit on the wild side, dontcha think so? And poor Kinji, falling into the Tokyo Bay for a second time this arc. But I'm getting ahead of myself. There's an entire episode I've yet to cover.

Interesting how Shirayuki's name is in no way indicative of her massive firepower. And her massive fire power. Made for a nice thematic battle with Jeanne d'Arc there. Apparently Joan's been up to quite a lot.

Pop quiz time.

Joan of Arc:

A) Has a Butei descendent
B) Was a Puella Magi
C) Wears a mustache to play basketball
D) Was reincarnated as a high school girl to seal demons in paintings

Answer at your own leisure.

Some nice action this episode, some of it in part to Hysteria Mode. I suspect Kinji had reason to suspect that Shirayuki wasn't herself because of the color of her undergarments. That's always a good indicator of someone being who they are in anime. It's foolproof.

Truth be told, I'm looking forward to the next arc. Primarily because of the location. It's perfect for this idea I've got banging around in my head, but I have to see how the show does things before I begin. And it looks like next week is when it begins.

Until then, folks.
