Yep. Back in the day of wooden ships, it used to be just one ship vs a whole fleet. Not exactly a good idea to pick a fight in that situation, unless there's absolutely no choice for it.

ACE event was fun.
The MCs: Satou Rina (Jenny) and Yasumura Makoto (Tadokoro LagRin) Guests: Satou Tatsuo (Director), Komatsu Mikako (Marika), Ishihara Kaori (Madoka), Seto Asami (Lan) and Kayano Ai (Muginami) .... .... .... It's 3 vs 1 Oi The event started with Mikako singing live. Then it was followed with quiz (Mopai vs LagRin) where Mikako won it (lol Shot Put). Finally, in the Shuffle Recording, the seiyuu played different roles in different episodes of Mopai and LagRin. The episodes were LagRin ep 1 and 3, and Mopai episode 9 and 13 (tonight's episode ). The funny part was Mikako voicing Lan and Asami doing Madoka ...... it was the yuri hand-to-hand scene in ep 3, and they made up their own script. Apparently tonight guest ED will be using the 2nd song from Black Holy single, Toumei na Yozora ~ Matataku Hoshi ni Tsusumarete ヽ(*´∀`)ノ

Mobirates 13 - My Name is Hayabusa-kun
With the ending and the general tone of the episode, it felt like an epilogue to the Serenity arc that just occurred. The way the yacht club recruited its members reminded me of Yuki Jojima and her similarly wacky costume. There are so many members in the club, I wonder if we'll ever get any deeper insight into them. We know a fair bit about the Benten crew, but the Yacht club has only been slightly characterized, even moreso now that they have three new members and another princess in their ranks. The cat-monkeys instantly made my mind jump to Avatar (the Last Airbender, not James Cameron). I wonder how many other combo animals there are in this world. Some downtime after a major arc is a good thing, and for that, I enjoyed this episode. And on a final note, the door to Marika's house is really, really cool. |

So Jenny graduated, huh? I miss her already... I have to give this episode major props, though, for one element: Ririka's cooking. Or, more accurately, the fact that Ririka used to be a classic Lethal Chef character but actually learned how to be a really good cook (when her out-of-culture guests aren't eating the condiments, that is). So often "bad cooking" is treated in anime and manga like a genetic attribute nothing can possibly fix rather than a lack of having a skill, that it's very pleasantly refreshing to see this treated in a realistic way. Seriously, this makes me very happy. Next ep. promo makes it look like Marika and Gruier are heading out to this setting's equivalent of seedy bars on Tortuga to hire new crewmembers. That could be fun!

So it seems Serenity is going down the direction Great Britain went when it came to the role of the Royal Family.
Spoiler for Ririka what the hell?:
Overall this was a nice and calming episode but Ririka applying to be a captain again? I wonder..... |

Nice Episode this week. It was a little relaxed, and I like it that they are back to school. It was very funny how they yacht club recruiting was scaring off potential members. At least they got new members. |

I almost expected Grunhilde breathing fire upon ingesting that mustard. "International incident"
As always, great episode, plus the discussion on how they talk about giving the Serenity system full reform by allowing democratic processes. And Gruier has a tongue-in-cheek way of summoning Marika. Nice one, girl.

I didn't think the last arc was that great, which made this episodes the best I've seen from the show in a while. I guess I just enjoy Mouretsu Pirates more when it's laid-back and character-focused, rather than plot-focused. Sort of weird given that the plot is about freakin' pirates in space, but hey...
Good character interactions this episode, and some very funny moments. Also, Marika looked great in that outfit in the previews.
