Due on Christmas Day... Ike's received gift for Christmas... a visit by the angel of death who says "You're a Torch and about to burn out. Any last words before I give you your ticket to Heaven?" I'm surprised that Satou's place doesn't seem to run out of liquor at the rate that Margery drinks. If Yoshida plays dirty, Yuji might turn against her on detection. But perhaps he'll have his hands full due to either Pheles or the Balle Masque's god. |

This episode was good except for... not sure how to put it but, it kinda passes by...? And I think the character design isn't as good in this episode...
Also, it's still early, but I wonder if they'll make 2 OPs for this season as well. Say, when the title is "Ike Hayato, His Glorious Day," why do they put it that way when we're sure he's going to fail?

I mean with Hecate right there and the title being "Ike's glorious day", it doesn't seem like too much to fear for Ike's life. |

I can't argue with that! But I would like to point out that in S1 Ike has been specifically slated as non torch. He would have had to had been eaten at some point between early S1 and now for him to become one. Unless Yuji has lost the ability or I misinterpreted, I think that he just sees torches for what they are.

Slow progress aside, I really liked this episode. The humor was just right, and I enjoyed the focus on the friendship within the group. I'm getting a little impatient for the plot to thicken, since the second season lacks the kind of initial drag-you-into-it factor the first had, but that might have a lot to do with watching the show on one-episode-a-week basis as well.

Another exciting installment of Slice-of-Life Shana. Huzzah, there's actually some development in this episode! Now Shana+Yoshida are...back at square one?
Honestly, though, I kind of enjoyed this one. We get some nice development going between the gang, and our beloved flame haze and Wife Material Yoshida do make some badly needed progress. It was also pretty cool seeing the "experienced onee-san" angle in Margery, but since when was she interested in anything besides getting drunk and busting Tomogara? "I want to understand Yuuji!" You know what? So do I. I just get the feeling when I'm watching this that the writers are conveniently shafting his character just to dig some "development" out of Shana and Yoshida. I mean, there's a limit to how dense you can get. Yoshida confessed to the guy, and he still hasn't done anything about it. They definitely skipped out on the "oh no confession awkward" scenes that should have followed, or I totally missed something in S1. It's like it never happened.... Well, whatever. I wanted to shoot myself the past two episodes but this one was strangely easy to watch. I've been thinking about this since S1-isn't it obvious that someone likes you when they go so far as to make you a bento? Maybe it's a cultural thing that I'm totally missing out here (which I doubt), but that sort of thing never happens in American high schools, and I'm guessing it's probably at least pretty conspicuous in Japan...well, chalk another one up for Yuuji Dimwit, or should I say another example of convenience writing. |

Back on topic, this episode was alright but the lack of story progression sort of makes me cringe. |

It is quite amusing how a battled harden vet can make such bad tactical choices in the combat known as love. I would have thought that not challenging someone at their own game is basics. Shana the lower then noob chef is trying to win Yuji's heart with cooking against Yoshida who is a grandmaster ninja kung fu shaolin master....

I wouldn't put too much faith in ep titles... I mean ep 6 was called night "before an ordeal"... Made me think that something reguarding Bal Masque was going to happen after the study session... But it turned out the ordeal was just a surprise test...........

Maybe I'm just frustrated that Yuuji isn't a more dynamic character. I would like SnS much more if Yuuji weren't so generic and airheaded. Seriously, make him a Kyon or something for all I care just to spice things up. Why must the humans in this show be so uninteresting?? |

The lack of info on how Yuji thinks works as a double edged sword. Quote:

As reguarding him as a dynamic character that really depends on your taste. If you find someone like Kyon a dynamic character (I certainly do) then you may find characters that stray from hos character profile to be boring. Obviously you also have to consider the context. Kyon's sarcastic attitude would do little to melt Shana's cold heart, in fact it'll probably harden it more. Certainly Yuji's character isn't unique but I wouldn't go so far as to call him an airhead. Quote:

Something was strange with the character art this episode.
That aside, it seemed like something happened without anything really happening. I think something needs to happen to pick the series up; it doesn't even have to be action in the sense of violence. Just something to renew my interest. |
