Gnostic Lone Wolf Poetry

I forgot I’m also watching Toshokon Sensou. It needs to develop a plot right now even worse than Daughter of 20 Faces did when I posted the spring shows update thing (subsequent to which like fifty people in D20F got murdered).

Episode 6 of Wagaya no Oinari-sama is actually quite watchable as a stand-alone episode. It focuses on Sakura, who is previously a side character, trying to become closer to her boycrush, one of the main characters. If you like the basic joke of highschool romance comedy, I’d expect this episode to entertain.

Basically the whole episode is Sakura’s internal dialogue (and excellent reaction faces). Sizing up the competition (so, she’s a quiet mysterious girl who dresses like a shrine maiden, and she’s a blonde tsundere with big breasts…how can I compete!), being incredibly confused, screwing up, fantasizing, wondering if she’s accidentally fallen in love with Kuu, ending up in the arms of her boycrush anyway, and so on.

Also she’s voiced by Yui Kano, a la Sumomomomomomomomo. And if you thought she was funny in that, well, she’s pretty much bringing it back to the table here.

I’m watching too much anime this Spring, but it seems to be really good.

I particularly look forward to:
Code Geass, Vampire Knight, Daughter of 20 Faces

I am also watching the somewhat entertaining:
Oinari-sama, Zettai Karen Children, Allison and Lilia, Itazura na Kiss

And for some fucking reason also:
Kurenai, Special A, Soul Eater
