Senran Kagura 05 - I Was Such an Idiot
That was a pretty exciting episode. I've been calling it a "ninja magical girl" series since day one, but this was the most magical girl-y. So many transformations. The continued look into the Snakes is interesting. Despite calling themselves "evil" and having a bit of a topsy-turvy education system, they're still treating it like an obligation as much as the Hanzo girls. That scene in the bath was perfectly mundane and thus, made them a little sympathetic. I think Funi's leaving some things untranslated that really should be changed (Why kekkai? Call it a barrier. That's what it is.)
After so many episodes, the reunion of Asuka and Homura was exactly as exciting as I thought it would be. Though at times, Homura seems like more of a Sayaka. What with her single mindedness and lots of swords. Mirai's turning into a good example of a lovable loser, and I'm kind of worried for Hibari. She's going to need to turn into a real Bugs Bunny if she wants to get out of this.
