There were only three cats in this episode! What will this show do without its cats?!
All kidding aside, plot-wise I found this episode pretty enjoyable. The focus this time is on Kaname, the
So while I did get a lot of enjoyment from this episode, particularly in the second half when things turned mostly to comedy (the dog pile on the bed was a particularly funny moment, as well as the fact that they walked off with all of Kaname's notes), but I have to admit that I've seen this before done better. What Lucky Star pulls off in a minute takes this show half an episode. I've come to like the slow and steady pace that this anime has established, but what's going to happen when it gets to the "drama" and "romance" aspects listed in its genres on MAL? Will it adjust the pace to accommodate for that? Finally, I know that last week I promised to stop complaining about the animation, but in this episode it really bugged me because... well, there was hardly any animation at all. The majority of the episode consisted of still images with only the character mouths moving. When I watch anime, I expect, you know animation. I don't think that this is the kind of show that's going to need a huge budget for its finale. Unless CG cherry blossoms cost a lot more than I thought. Anyway, next week has a festival. Hopefully Shu doesn't wear something with flower print... That could get confusing...

"There were only three cats in this episode! What will this show do without its cats?!"
ReplyDeleteYou make the show sound so sad. =P haha, without its cat's we are going to be so bored again! noooooo!
"And I can't forget Kaname's mother! She's something that you really have to see for yourself..."
She reminds me of the ridiculousness (in an funny way) of Yuri's mother from Kyou Kara Maou! =D
"When I watch anime, I expect, you know animation."
Oh Muse, you expect too much sometimes. Didn't you know? the fact that it is not a flip book is already a step up. =P For me I am just glad they got rid of the eng song in this episode. =P
"Hopefully Shu doesn't wear something with flower print... That could get confusing..."
Only then will you get confused? I am already confused =D (Kaname's childhood friend felt more masculine than Shu)

ReplyDeleteI really like cats, so I missed them this week... XD
I should watch that! And I really do like his mom. She cracked me up. "You don't love me anymore?! T_T"
Normally when that kind of thing happens, it means that they're saving the buget for something later on... and I have no idea what that could be. This isn't Fate/Zero, after all, it can't cost that much to animate this.
Lol, I'm just waiting to see what will be the catalyst for him getting a haircut. XD

ReplyDeleteYou will love my work place, my boss owns 2 cats. lol. and they are really cute and like dogs, but annoying cos they constantly want attention. (thus why I say they are like dogs)
"I should watch that! "
You should! =D I think it is so full of sh*t but it is a fun watch. Magic, weird BL, funny family, and lots of bishounen and weird namings.
"it can't cost that much to animate this."
Am not sure which studio is animating this but maybe they did not budget that much for this show or they are busy with other series?
"I'm just waiting to see what will be the catalyst for him getting a haircut. XD "
Yes Please! Get a haircut! =_=" His hair is more feminine than mine, i think.

Haha, cats are like that. My family has two, and one of them really acts like a dog. XD
ReplyDeleteNice! I'll put in on my to-watch list.
I just looked it up and they're also animating Shana III. I guess that answers that question. D:
