Memories of Ukyou Kuonji arise and I am suddenly hungry for the taste of okonomiyaki.

I previously typecast Rie Kugimiya to snarky loli tsundere roles but she surprised me and excelled as Miharu. Who is such a cheeky little devil when implying sensei seku hara , verily a reverse Masa-san~~?! A fine tradition too as Ukyou had originally disguished herself as a boy. Miharu's contrasting nonchalance was also win.

Reminds of Hellsing's SD mode... and was the nin-nin a Shinobuden reference!? But overall the art, character design, animation, fight scenes were all lovely.

Matrix x Code Geass? [LOL Nanoha!?]

Next episode: The blonde x twin tailed Raimei Fujimura Shimizu arrives. [Always check the primary sources over the secondary! ?????????????????????????????????????? ?nabari no yo? no bannintaru shimizuke no shoujo. Shinra banshou no shoyuusha wo misadamerubeku banten ni omomuku. A young girl of the night watchmen of the hidden shinobu world. She has come a long way to confirm (the discovery) of the owner of (the power of) creation.] I haven't heard her speak but I already like the way she smirks.
She'll probably make it into Stripey's next swordswomen list. Make that definitely if she was loli-er. LOL
Wow. When both Aroduc of Mars and Totali of Venus both gush about a series, the combined power pushes a previously unconsidered anime to the front of the queue. And I did enjoy this first episode very muchly.
Miscellaneous: The title means the hidden king? Interestingly my dictionaries were all probably too simple as they gave the reading for the kanji (?) as kaku , in or on but not a nabari in sight...

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of the John Gray book in terms of Aroduc being Chief Meanie Head versus Totali Love Power!
And nicknames are a sign of affection.

BTW I’ve been having trouble creating new categories from the manage/write post side, had to go to Manage categories. WTH.
And I give up on the WYSIWYG editor… keeps adding a space between my two smaller screencaps and screws up the whole formatting! WTF
