First half of this episode is a Midori no Hibi parody combined with a softball game. Koyuki, of course, immediately realizes that something’s up when Natsumi shows up in school with her hand bandaged. In any case, this is a Giroro Gains Natsumi Brownie Points half-ep. The real meat for me was in the second half when Sylvee, a ninja of the inter-galatic Moonlight clan, hunts down Koyuki and threatens Natsumi to get to her. Continue reading ‘Keroro Gunso 81′

Natsumi and Koyuki’s heart-pounding first date! It’s been 53 episodes since they first met and this first date is so overdue. At least Koyuki appeared much earlier in the anime compared to the manga. The short summary is: Natsumi and Koyuki go out together for ice cream, shopping, sightseeing and generally have fun - with Koyuki taking every opportunity to be a little romantic with her dear Natsumi-san.
However Giroro is following them out of jealousy while Keroro and Tamama are doing so to research any weaknesses in the Earth’s last line of defence. Giroro’s jealous aura nearly gives them away several times, leading Koyuki to over-react ninja-style. But all’s well that ends well. After Koyuki leaves, Natsumi discovers the Keronians and lays the smackdown. Meanwhile Koyuki is concerned that being with Natsumi dulls her ninja senses but is reassured by Dororo that it may not be a bad thing. The commenter closes by saying that Koyuki is really a ninja rather than a normal girl. Continue reading ‘Keroro Gunso 66′


Yaya only appears briefly at the beginning but maximum points to Tsubomi for her evilness to Chiyo. Much mirth on my part. Hmmm, she and Yaya don’t look bad together at all.
The Paranoia of Tamao Suzumi. Just because you think that everyone else is out to steal your roommate from you doesn’t mean that they actually aren’t. Extremely funny how her over-reaction is completely justified and her gallant if feeble attempts to guard against Shizuma (with Rokujou in attendance and marking Nagisa with her red ribbon protective charm) actually become plot (I use this word loosely in the context of this series) points and development triggers for this episode. I propose that every time Tamao sees Shizuma leering at Nagisa that the Jaws theme comes on.
The Jealousy of Shizuma Hanazono. She obviously realizes that Tamao is a competitor as seen from her insistence to remove the ribbon. After Amane gets close to Mysterious Nagisa (Erica would say that the only mystery is why no one has murdered Nagisa yet LOL), Shimizu more or less tells her to get her own biatch from Spica and see ya at the Etoile contest. The whole thing about Shimizu’s dark past and trauma was so clichéd that I suspect it was meant to be funny. I certainly laughed when Shizumu used the ole “Let’s study together” trick for the Seduction of Nagisa Aoi.
The Gilded Cage of Astrea. So it seems that Miyuki Rokujou’s off to an arranged marriage after graduation, condemned to a hellish life of unlimted money and leisure time, forced to endure an eternity of flower arrangement, tea making, shopping at luxury shops, playing golf or whatever the ladies who lunch do after lunch and, of course, les liaisons lesbienne while her husband indulges in his mistress or toyboy or goat. Obscenely rich people have hard lives too apparently. LOL
Underwater Kiss. Firstly, HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! Secondly, took them long enough! Kannazuki really does have the upper hand over this series in terms of In Your Face LFB-orientated Lesbian Desire and Angst.
“The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” (Robert Burns) “No plans survive first contact with the enemy.” (Old military adage) “Everything is very simple in War, but the simplest thing is difficult. These difficulties accumulate and produce a friction which no man can imagine exactly who has not seen War…” (Clausewitz) And so, from its early roots, the evil plan comes to fruition subject, of course, to the legislation of Messers Murphy and Unintended Consequences.

“Asking for it.” Request of something e.g. the purchase of a maid uniform. Also a colloquial expression used to describe the act of getting oneself into trouble and deserving the consequences. In this case, the offer to purchase a maid uniform. Though I’m no gentleman, my word has been given and four horses hard to chase it. In addition, once enthrusted with the Three Sizes, a man has to see his mission to its end. The road to hell is paved with good intentions but as my intentions are never good… Continue reading ‘The Meidoconholy of Stripey III (hnKd 3/2006)’
