deftoned started it and I couldn’t resist picking it up. This thing about ‘Bible Black eyes’ in Minami Ke, that is.

So, I asked myself, what exactly are the characteristics of Bible Black eyes? Seems that the most important discriminators are the overall shape of the eye and clear discrimination between the pupil and iris from each other and the rest of the eye.

But perhaps it’s still early days as the OP shows that the Eyes are still present. And may be even more Bible Blackedy than the pre-Okawari iteration. Otanoshimini!

And while I’m on the subject, LOL Bible Black reference in Hayate no Gotoku ep 39!

I am so jealous!!

[minamike11_02.jpg]

Misbuttoning is the new bandages.

[minamike11_03.jpg]

I wonder what Hosaka will say if he finds just how close Natsuki has been to Haruka. So jealous is me still.

[minamike12_00.jpg]

Seeing an unambiguously cute side of Chiaki was nice and a great contrast to her usual authoritarian grumpiness to everyone except Haruka. Overall, good job, Minorin!

Haruka – porn sigh version. Normal version is much better!

[minamike12_02.jpg]

Haruka’s oneesama magic brings peace, harmony and love with sparkles. If we combine her with Tama-chan magic, we might just be able to bring about the salvation of the world (without breaking its egg).

I am still amazed that Touma is voiced by Nana Mizuki. In contrast, regardless of Yukari Tamura’s roles, I can’t help but listen just a bit of Mizuki’s MSLN compatriot voice work before going: ‘LOL that’s Nanoha!’ I enjoy Tamura’s voice acting but it’s just so… unique… and distinctive… but most of all, so… LOL Nanoha. LOL

The things Mako-chan does for Oneesama Love. Mako-chan, you are truly a man among men! None of all that gay GAR muscle-bound shouting, angsting and fighting (with big phallic toy robot toys)!

Other signs of REAL manliness, as opposed to the homoeroticism that little boys think is manliness, are, of course, going ‘Wai~ wai~ kawaii~’ (seemingly a staple of married men). Or so how about asking your boy/girlfriend to FORCE you to watch anime that you otherwise wouldn’t touch with a ten foot barge pool and a million dollars? Only if you have one to force you to, that is. If you do.

Stripey: Stop picking fights with the readers!

Hosaka’s simulations are truly disturbing. What a whacko. But at least we had a glimpse of this evening gown and pearls Haruka. The tempura soba made me sooooo hungry, even if my hunger was vanquished by Hosaka’s serving pun, almost a match for Kabitzin‘s Punny Powers.

Can you really get drunk on non-alcoholic juice? I’ve heard of the powers of prune juice but not this!

[minamike13_08-11.jpg]

When I first saw Hayami, her chara design reminded me of Sei Satou. Looks like the looks weren’t the only similarity…

[minamike13_13-14a.jpg]

OH SHIT!

[minamike13_15.jpg]

Shizuma-sama!

[minamike13_16.jpg]

Chikane-chan!

[minamike13_17.jpg]

Shizuru!

[minamike13_18.jpg]

I think Natsuki certainly got the better end of the bargain.

So there is such a thing as the operation of the laws of karma as Kana gets back what she tried to do to Chiaki in the first (?) episode. Accordingly, I think Stripey probably either have lots of lolilicious daughters (and he can continuously scream: ‘I will NOT approve any boyfriend!!!”) or a Da Capo situation on his tanuki paws as and when Haruhi-sama blesses him and his wife with childrens.

I did find it hard to get into the series initially, mostly because while I am fond of dumb characters (e.g. Osaka from Azumanga, Misao and Tsukasa from Lucky Star etc) and of witty sociopaths (e.g. Miu Matsuoka from Ichigo Mashimaro), the combination of dumb sociopath in Kana was difficult to swallow. But with Haruka-neesama moving into the spotlight, I got hooked. I also became more sympathetic to Kana after her little breakdown in front of Chiaki (ep 8?) and even enjoyed the late entry of several supporting characters especially Mako-chan, Uchida and Touma. Overall, a fun and enjoyable series.

Looking forward to Okawari, especially since, as noted by Omni, it’s got quite a few members of asread’s SHUFFLE! team onboard. Going to be weird if they change the teardrop mouth though.
