Spent some time today catching up on just about everything I wanted to see simulcast-wise this season (still have to catch up on Free!)
This one could be quite a bit of fun.
Though I wasn’t expecting Kazuhito’s murder story to end after only the second episode.
Though it seems like they’re keeping up with different mysteries now that the why fors for Kazuhito are out of the way.
So, for the last two seasons, we had two animes that their link were hair fetishes (though in the last season, the hair fetish seemed to be downplayed if not out right ignored after the first episode), and now, we get an anime that in the title alone, uses elements from those two. If we get something next season that somehow continues this trend, some really weird is going on in Japan, or at least with the shows Sentai is licensing.
Madoka is crazy as hell.
I can kinda understand that her beloved Onii-chan (who she has a serious brocon for) died, which drove her over the edge.
But still… she went waaaay off the deep end.
At its heart, it’s just a silly show that you really should take too seriously.
Though it does have its moments of sweetness.
This episode in particular…
spoiler
Yayoi learns about family breakup on TV and misinterprets her family situation for the worse, and she tries her little darndest to keep her family together and the bookstore open.
Only to find out, that she jumped to the wrong conclusion and her family still loves one another, including her.
Kirihime shaving “Idiot” on Kazuhito was rather funny though.
