Ika With a Question Mark 05 - When You Wish Upon a Star, Don't Try to Cheat the System
The first segment was middle of the road, all things considered. It was the most heartfelt of the three, but the final punchline raised it quite a bit. Takeru lost a car, but he got Machalcon in return. Looking at it, all that came to mind was "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need... roads." Now that the idea of an RC Ika has been planted in consumers' minds, I'm just waiting for one to be released.
The second segment was the best, by far. Wishes are a great way to look into the minds of the characters, and some of the revelations were expected, and some weren't quite as so. Kiyomi wants a bigger rack, who knew? Once again, the final punchline brought it all together.
The third segment with Ika and Antaro was pretty cute itself (lots of friends to bugs lately), but the title. Oh god, the title. Sure, it was about playing by yourself, but the euphemism is bubbling just beneath the surface, and with all those tentacles, Ika had to have... just let the doujins fill in the rest of this sentence.
Another break next week, but this was a lot of fun. Oh, and Happy Halloween!
