I don't understand how anyone could say there was any character development going on in Episode 5 except through wishful thinking. Episode 5 had one revelation, one possible hint (the bracelet), one very nice touch (the attempted hand holding, though by the end they're still at the same place they were before that scene, unable to connect even though they both know they like each other) and everything else was rehashed from the last two - except for Wilhelmina's dinner which was a rehash from things in Season 1.
As was said before - Slow and Boring is just that and there is nothing good about it. What it means to me is that they have 26 episodes and only 16 episodes worth of actual story, so make with the filler. The really annoying thing is our main characters are deliberately being shown as not acting like themselves - Shana is being introverted instead of trying to work off her frustration by killing something and Yuji, who's only saving grace before was his uncanny intuition, is being far too dense and entirely too trusting. This is writing on Auto-Pilot, the surest sign that we are watching filler and not something that is going to move any of the characters forward. Better to give 13 episodes of pure story than 26 episodes with half of them filler. So far, based on the Ep 6 preview, we're hitting that ratio. |

Also, if my memory serves me, there's no Wilhemnia cooking in the 1st season. And where did you get the number "16" worth of actual story from? It still seems strange even if you are referring to "there re going to be 10 filler episodes", otherwise you would say that instead. Your argument about how different Shana is... it already happened in the 1st season; toward the end of that season, she didn't go off and "work off her frustration by killing something and Yuji". No comment about Yuji being dense, though. All that aside, no one beside me miss "Urusai Urusai Urusai"?

We've already had Shana being jealous of Yoshida in S1, and Yoshida being jealous of Shana, but now we've got to have BOTH of them being jealous?
And I hope I'm not the only one that doesn't want to wreck Konoe's face in with a metal baseball bat.

... LMAO. Sorry, but you don't quite understand my point. People are talking as if the series has already past the halfway point. And another thing, slow and boring is pure opinion. I for one am not bored with this, I like it. And I don't find it slow by the standards of a 24-26 long series. Go watch Nanoha StrikerS if you want slow. Focusing on characters is always nice.

What's there to focus on when it's simply dragged out for two episodes? You're jealous, we get it.
I mean come on, the episode ended with Yoshida just gasping at the mirror with a toothbrush in her mouth. What the hell are they getting at here? Yoshida: "SHIT, I HAVE PLAQUE BUILDUP."

Spoiler for Dictionary definition of introvert:
Shana's been acting that way all through S1 too, so i don't see how her character is inconsistent. Also that killing something behaviour of Shana's was just a one time thing and I think she's at least matured past that milestone from S1. Thinking about it, even if she did want to kill something, a Tomogura isn't just going to show up whenever Shana gets sad... Quote:
Slow and boring may be pure opinion but so is finding this ep interesting, so I really don't see your point. Quote:
Heck I was expecting that maybe this ep Yoshida and Shana may team up, but instead, they are still enjoying each other's company silently..

The episode was good, but at the moment that Green haired character is taking up most of my attention. The one in the OP. Shee looks cool. I cant wait to know what she is. A Tomogara or a flame haze. Arrrggh, have to at least wait 2 weeks to know who she is. That is if she is shown after 2 weeks.
i guess you could say the episode was fun but 3-4 episodes in a row with no action is kind of boring. I mean Shana is mainly an action anime right?

After watching this ep, I can only ask:
WHERE`S MY PLOT ADVANCEMENT?! In other words: boring ep is boooooring. Come on, Konoe is cute and all, but there`s too much of her. Also, I understand Wilhelmina`s feelings, but we`ve already had cooking-learning-comedy-gags in S1. We don`t need to get over them again... Plus the butler has gay moustache.

I can't see how it is smoother since Yuji (and especially Yoshida) have to go out of their way. Its only smoother if the butler is a lasy arse and doesn't want to drive. I would have thought that Butlers attend their masters first over attending the house, but I guess I'm being influenced by Hayate . If I was the butler I would be pooing myself over the safely of Konoe.

I see it this way, perhaps: Butler goes: Uses fuel/energy Yuuji goes to school Fumina goes to school Yuuji goes: Yuuji goes to school Fumina goes to school ... Makes it sound like the butler is lazy >_< ... Oh well...

Though I'm finally starting to see the shounen flare, now that everyone's hyping up Yuuji's progress in handling Existence. I couldn't see any of that in S1 when most of Shana's strength depended on the state of her personality. |
