Even though this episode needed more Mariya, I still enjoyed it immensely and screamed with laughter almost every other minute. The Super Deformed mode was sustained really well and this episode firmly establishes this type of SD-mode as OtoBoku’s calling card. Favourite parts included the title of ‘Tsunderella’, Takako getting struck by lightning, the pixellated Takako-tentacled scene, every scene with Shion in it (like her hair capture, unga-unga dance, magical battle with Kei and Michiko and not least that really HAWT WTF nekkid fan service scene - see Omni’s post - she’d give Mariya and Takako a run for their money anytime!), the forest full of flying Kanacopters and the giant cats. While I would have liked to see the Mariya vs Takako rivalry develop, this episode was thoroughly enjoyable silliness. Looking forward to the next season!
Takako may be the destined one for Mizuho, but Shion is the best.
Mmmm… Shion goodness. Still, even if this didnt’ resolve anything, it’s a fun Cindarella ripoff, especially with the ending. ;)
maglor, agreed that Shion is the best - though I’m a Mizuho x Mariya supporter meself.
Haesslich, not to mention Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood etc! :)
LOL! Thanks for highlighting ep 13 bro! I really peng at the Kanacopter and at the “mahou tsukai obasan” part.
Can’t wait for season 2.
You know, I’ll never see your Shion figurine in the same way ever again. ;)
