Just a note this episode to record the minor yuri occurence, Mako asks Junichi to be her boyfriend so as to fend off a really aggressive junior. Who is a girl. I just had to laugh when Junichi replied: “Just go out with her! Only girls will ask you out anyway. It could your once-in-a-lifetime chance at happiness!” Ordinarily it would be extremely hurtful but it was clear he didn’t mean it as he also said that she should get a real bf instead. And actually Mako’s admirer has been admiring her since DC 10! (Above screencap.)

In celebration of Ender’s remarks on the evolution of anime bloggers’ writing styles, particularly the part about “there are some things that are reliable standbys, like … Stripey’s penchant for…. sis-con?” , I’ve attached an article from the Economist which gives a scientific basis for Nemu’s penchant for using her Nii-san’s old shirts as pajamas. Junichi acquiesces to Nemu’s continuation of this practice and asks, “You wash the shirts [before using them as pajamas], right?” “Yeah… but they still smell like you, Nii-san,” comes the embarrassed reply. No need to thank me, Stripey ole pal. :)

Given my penchant for yuri, it’s not surprising that I’m highlighting Miharu Amakase. Sure, she’s silly especially with that Kaolla Su taste for bananas but I like how she so openly displays her desire for Nemu. Later she surprised me by being one of the few characters without any hangups and even active support for Nemu x Junichi. Also it’s a relief to have a female character who isn’t attracted to Junichi. Lots of spoilers. (Why do I even bother to warn people? Ok, this will be my last spoiler warning ever.)

Finally yielded to Stripey’s constant badgering to give Da Capo a try, he being spurred on by the current release of DCSS. I guess it didn’t help his sales pitch very much when he characterised Da Capo as essentially being sis-con (Nemu) vs. lolicon (Sakura), with almost every other fetish, like cat-eared maid, lesbian robot girl, big-breasted ditz, pure singing mind-reading idol etc thrown in for kicks. Why wasn’t I surprised to be told it was a H-game adaption? But what had the potential to be a super sucky series actually turned out to be fairly enjoyable after the half-way point. Kinda like Kannazuki.
