Otakuism

So the whole star crystal arc is done for now, and all I can say is ” Megane Nodoka ftw! Ichijou Konoka ftw! Konoka x Secchan ftw! Chupacabra ftw! “. Ok, clearly I like Negima!? too much, but I can’t help it when all the characters are so cute. Let’s do a run down of who got to shine in this arc.

First is Nokoka. She finally got her wish to kiss Negi, and made a contract with him while she did it. Nodoka seems a little to eager to kiss a 12-year-old. Nodoka has some mad hax powers apparently. She can read minds, have access to all knowledge in existence, AND look cute in glasses! That last one is pretty important. She had a lot of cute moments, like saying out loud what Chamo was thinking about all his lies, and enjoying it too! She has a surprising evil streak. Best moment I think was when she confronted possessed Chisame, and found out she was just fighting her too take Nodoka’s number one net idol spot (that she didn’t even know about). Nodoka’s expression was priceless! I wonder what such a shy girl like her thinks about being followed by /b/tards?

Next up is the ambigiously gay duo of Konoka and Secchan aka. Setsuki. I though the yuri overtones were just for the OVA’s, but their even in the series, just not as blatant. I love how embarassed Secchan was at the thought of her “in-direct kiss” with Konoka. The two shine apart from eachother too though. Konoka keeps reminding me of Ichijou, both with her facial expressions and how spacy she seems. For instance, Konoka’s fortune telling is wonderfully weird. I didn’t know you could tell the future by heating eggs on stoves. Secchan had plenty of ” damn, that’s cool ” moments, mainly when she got her contract and grew angel wings. When she was fighting I kept expecting to hear ” amekkeru ryu no hirameki! “. I’m surprise there’s no rurouni kenshin references yet.

It’s a shop. I can tell from the pixels, and having seen quite a few shops in my day.

KATTO KATTO KATTO KATTO KATTO KATTO KATTO KATTO KATTO KATTO

…don’t ask.

The other girls had plenty of small moments though. The whole chupacabra subplot is so random, I just don’t know what to say about it. Maybe I should just sing ” Chupa-chupa-chupacabra~! “? Chisame had a nice seen in ep. 5, revealing her true net idol self. She really is kind of crazy isn’t she? Reminds me of that doujin by the eva re-take group. I hate the annoying frog and cat characters with a passion. Their nothing better than a plot device to get things done quickly. Just leave already! Ok that’s done. The animations taken a down turn I think in quality, but it’s still very unique. I think it’s a lot weirder than paniponi though. There’s too many random statues and settings. I wish it would be more realistic like tsukuyomi. Still it never gets boring I guess. As long as it’s not Yoake QUALITY it will do.

Sayo’s wonderfully sad story next time, hopefully with an appearance by Mana.
