I don't appreciate fan service in the typical environment of the show, but beach episodes omg the more the better. And they're a nice change from the rather monotonous scenery we're so used to after 5 episodes.
Kanna: Already added her to my favorites, I can't help myself. She's Anaru's reincarnation, I'm telling you. This is the type of tsundere I'm able to enjoy, where she doesn't abuse the guy. She seems quite realistic and her actions are believable, she doesn't blush after every word (*cough* Ichika *cough*), but the occasional jealousy and cuteness is more than appreciated. She seems so sensitive and fragile under her energetic outside. I hope she ends up with Tetsurou. She is way too good for Kaito's stupidity.
Ichika: She needs to GTFO seriously. I hope she fucks of to her home planet at the end of the show. I would totally join the tear parade in this case (and you know it's coming. After episode 9 everyone will be crying every 5 minutes). Her blushing is getting on my nerves and she has the "What is this feeling?" syndrome, which I despise with all my heart. Something about her character just pisses me off. She's too nice, too pushy (if you're listening behind his door you are overdoing it)and too ... mary sue, I guess. Too polite. Too friendly. Too boring for my taste. And I'm not a fan of big boobs, so her costumes just make me dislike her more and more.
Mio: I absolutely love the contrast between her walking naked in her room and the shy way she acts with her friends. She is so horny for Tetsurou, combined with her personality you can't help but think it's cute. I wish she would be with Tetsurou, but maaan then Kanna would be alone (SHE ISN'T ENDING WITH KAITO. OVER MY DEAD BODY) and then I would just get sad. But I think that would be the best ending, with Kanna by herself. It would be emotional and we could assume she'd have a happier future ahead of her, instead of depressing over Kaito all the time. But yeah, I sort of side tracked here. Overall, I like Mio. She's quite an original character.
Kaito: He's too nerdy for my taste. There's nothing too interesting about him and I don't like it when guys are shy. He seems kind of feminine. I don't see why he's got so many admirers.
Tetsurou: He seems mature and kind, which is a nice combination. Whoever he ends up with, I won't complain, but it's pretty obvious it will be Mio. I like that he acts on his own and realizes what everyone's feeling are (when he told Kaito Kanna likes him). And it's cute that he's able to give up on what he wants (Kanna) so that she can be happy. But I'm kind of confused over his love interest, I mean he seems to flow both ways - Kanna and Mio. And after this episode, with Mio's ass revealed, I'm pretty sure he'll go for her.
Remon: She's kind of like God, I think whatever she decides will happen. But I can't help but think she's really lonely. I mean, before Ichika came in, she didn't really have any friends. Whatever, she doesn't need any. Her manipulation will do the trick, trolling all the way. And I don't want to sound like a lolicon, but she looked cute in her swimsuit, I was kind of hoping she'd take her school one, just because it reminded so much of Konata in her beach episode.
The two new girls were kind of annoying and let's be honest unrealistic. The director destroyed their characters before they even had the chance to be introduced and I just find that rude. They were put in the show as disposable characters, simply to get some reaction from Mio, Kanna and Ichika. That's probably the only thing I disliked about the episode, still it was a 5.
I hope the series doesn't go too into Ichika's background and the whole alien thing, basically the science-fiction side of the anime. It should focus entirely on the relationships. |
