Episode 3 – Baton Touch of Love

Things start to get interesting in this episode.

Might Naoki be starting to develop some sort of feelings for Kotoko?

Episode 3’s main activity would be the school’s sports day. Where they have their track and field competitions. And Naoki reads Kotoko’s love letter! How will he react to that?

Nothing really BIG actually happens in this episode, I guess you could call it a chain of small events that leads to character development.

I was nearly on the verge of giving up on this series due to its lack of humor and very shoujo plot route. I thought that this episode was quite interesting and now I am actually looking forward to see what the next episode would be about.

However, I know that certain things were meant to be funny or cute or whatever, but I can’t seem to feel that from the anime. Perhaps it is the pastel mild colors, or soothing voices. Those “funny” moments just don’t stand out or are not as exaggerated as what I would have expected it to be in order for it to be funny.

My favourite part of this anime was probably the last 5 minutes of this anime and the scene where Naoki reads the love letter.

Since this anime is suppose to be about the lives of Kotoko and Naoki all the way until after marriage, the plot is moving on pretty fast.

And if I might say so, I feel that Naoki was actually pretty pleasant and cute (towards the end) in this episode.

If you were uncertain about this anime, you might want to give this episode a shot and decide if you would want to watch on. This episode kinda pulled me back into the ’slightly-interested’ realm of things.

Maybe there is hope for this anime afterall!

Plus a new message board tabloid. OooOoO, Kotoko and Naoki raburabu, marriage seems to be not too far away. lol

Kyou Kara Maou R! – 05 Review

Impression + Summary

Woohoo!!
Dang, this episode is good!
After having just seen ep 3 of the new season, watching this ep was like the icing on delicious cake.
This ep got me shaking with excitement in my chair! (Okay, it might have been the cold weather plus the green tea ice cream that i was eating, but this was still an exciting ep! :P )

Okay, so the last ep of the OVA is titled Small Shimaron’s Young King (part 2)

This basically continues from the first ep of the OVA.

This episode is basically Yuuri being in Small Shimaron and Sararegi (the king) has an ulterior motive behind what he is doing. The rest of the gang is worried that something might happen and so they chase after Yuuri all the way into Small Shimaron.

Honestly, I felt that this ep was made just so that the fans can have fun watching it.

You get to see Shori and his over protectiveness (which is simply hillarious!), and Shin-ou appears, the rest of the cast gather to appear in Small Shimaron and even Alderbert is there helping Shin Makoku.

With nice fighting action and cute scenes, this episode was probably the best of the lot.

Plus I cannot stop laughing at the reason behind why Shori was even there in the first place (to be a battery recharger for Yuuri) It was just a blast to watch this episode.

Okay, the reason as to why Yuuri was brought there was because the King wanted to make use of Yuuri’s powers. Why? Haven’t got a clue yet. It seems that there is a possibility of Sararegi appearing in Season 3 because it does not look like he has given up. He did say that he is liking Yuuri even more than before ( ooOooOo ). I hope that he does appear but as a good guy and not a bad one.
The mystery surrounding Sararegi’s powers was not addressed. Plus we don’t really know much about Sararegi, just enough to make us want to know more.
From looking through the list of voice actors in Kyou Kara Maou, it seems like Sararegi is going to appear in Season 3 too. Lets hope that is true.

Oh, did I mention that Wolfram got all jealous whether Yuuri held Sara’s hands?
I thought that that action felt like it was more than just friendship (though judging by Yuuri character, it probably isn’t) However, Wolfram got into a fit about it. Hahaha

The dissapointing thing about this ep is that it is over. T_T
And, Yozak was not wearing a dress. LOL, that always cracked me up. Dang.
Sararegi seems like a pervert. ^^: for some reason. His obsession with Yuuri is freaky.

Anyway, it is basically a really fun and interesting episode to watch!

Screen Caps time!
