Ohhh, the animation in this episode very craptastic. No masses of Honoka-chan screencaps as a result. Suzuka tries the umbrella trick on Yamato but didn’t walk home with him under it like he did with her previously. Later she barges in on him at karaoke and tries to get closer to him, both literally and metaphorically. Yamato thinks that he’s done good by ditching the coincidental duet with Suzuka after seeing Honoka-chan’s agonized expression. Nana Shirakawa adds more paving the little red brick road to relationship hell by making Yamato realise that he is, afterall, a chump and to make up for it by buying a gift for Honoka-chan’s upcoming birthday. (Zyl shakes fist at the spoilerastic Next Week scenes.) Continue reading ‘Suzuka 17′
"I also understand Rin-chan’s situation. But on that, I won’t retreat."
After Rin presses her on the recent changes in her behaviour, Asa confesses that she likes Rin. He does not reject her but with the pain and lingering emptiness of his own past still weighing on him, he can’t give her a clear answer. Rin also learns more about Primula’s origins but, in the context of this thread, is to give him some basic information so that later information about Ama and Asa will make sense to Rin.
As usual, any comments and notes on errors and omissions are most welcome! Continue reading ‘SHUFFLE! game - Asa thread 20/7-29/7′
Rin goes to the Makai research facility with the three declared members of his harem. The Shin and Ma Kings are no match for the pleading of pretty young girls and allow Rin to descend into the Geofront to see Primula even though it could mean blowing up the whole place, Second Impact style. However if a man furrows his brows deeply enough, shouts loudly enough and often enough, then he can save the day as this ritual will call upon a buried element to come to the rescue (i.e. Licorice channelling herself through Nerine). Lots of nekkid Primula scenes and because there are no other clothes in the research centre, Primula wears just Rin’s school shirt later, and thus is only just half nekkid. Lolicons everywhere rejoice.
Nerine confesses to Rin that she is the Borg and had incorporated Licorice’s own distinct characteristics into her whole including Licorice’s love for Rin. Eight years ago, Rin had met Licorice and not Nerine, Rin-chan finally fesses up to Rin-sama, having been too afraid of losing the childhood promise premise of her relationship with Rin. But now that Licorice has finally given up the ghost, she knows that her feelings for Rin are her own and not merely the consequence of having a split personality. Speaking of which, next episode is about Lisianthus and her inseparable friend, Kikyou.
Well, sarcasm aside, I did enjoy the drama of this episode. Considerable differences with the SHUFFLE! game as there isn’t a Primula crisis and Rin never goes to the Makai (that’s in the follow up game, Tick! Tack! where he also travels back in time). It’s just that the shouty cliché annoys me to no end. But on to happier things, that is, Asa-chan discussion and screencaps! More preaching from Zyl about why Asa is t3h win!

Since slicing a huge mutant Chipmunk in half and getting lots of not-blood-related- sis-con waves from Kai, Saya is hardly ever in the mood for hot yuri lurvin, much to Kaori’s consternation. The latter tries to get Saya to go to a love hotel with her but is intercepted by George who then leaves her with Riku as a consolation prize. Continue reading ‘Blood+ 02-03′
