MM! #08 — Tuxedo Pants

November 19th, 2010

 

I think you’re missing something, Tarou.

Impressions:

This episode was about one part funny, one part really gay, and one part kind of depressing for Yuuno. Tarou’s mind got broken in a number of different ways when Mio’s hypnotism went wrong. Lolicon Tarou was lame, but at least it was short. Tuxedo Pants was far more amusing. Nothing quite goes perfectly with a tuxedo vest like… being naked from the waist down. I wouldn’t have minded a lot more of that in place of Tarou’s later tranformation into a gay sexual predator with a magical girl transformation sequence. Funny, sure, but also horrifying. 

I was really hoping that she’d heal him at the end with a kiss or confessing her feelings or something, but instead, Mio had to interrupt their little moment while shouting about how great Yuuno was to beat the masochist back into Tarou. Especially after being forced into nigh prostituting herself in the bunny girl outfit to try to drag Tarou back to the straight and narrow, she deserved a lot more than the stupid Japanese indirect kiss nonsense. I hate that cliche. The cage for dangerous predators was a nice touch though. The music also reminded me all too much of Hapxiel.

Well… so did the gay rapist as long as we’re coming clean here.

School fest date with Mio.

    Tarou x Yuuno OTP

    Also I find it odd out of all the shows this season this show has the best shipping pair, on that note I find it odd I’m even hoping for a ship at all… This show brings out the strange in people I tells ya.

  • wilson191 says:

    Tarou x Yuuno if she stop that I’m scared stuff….other than that tarou x mio

    Lot’s of yuuno fans here….lol

  • The Phantom says:

    Gay tarou disturbed the hell out of me, had to fast forward some parts of the episode, definitely not funny at all.

    The rest of the episode was ok but it seems tarou x Yuno relationship is not going anywhere beyond flirting/oblivious, despite beign obvious that she is interested in him tarou makes no advances.

  • Ransom says:

    I don’t care who he ends with as long as they reach a conclusion.

    I like tsudere Mio, but I like Yuno as well… can’t choose :(

    As long as he doesn’t ends with Hayama I’m fine XD

  • Gawl says:

    Goodness guys, lets not bring silly pairing arguments here. Besides, the show and novels are making it very obvious who Tarou is going to end up with, if anyone at all.

    I thought it was an okay episode, and still enjoyable. I’m looking forward to some Mio fan service come next episode, as she is seriously lacking in productive screen time.

  • RaiKitsune says:

    Yes Mio doesn’t get much time yet we all know there will be no pairing as it will end with a single bells single bells single all the way ending.

  • alex says:

    Is it just me or is this show getting more and more wrong :)
    They could let him have a bit more fun being a lolicon + Noa…I want Taro x Noa

  • Mesousa says:

    They really don’t have any idea with Noa, don’t they? She just plain disappears again.

  • alex says:

    it’s interesting that when they wanted him to be normal he turned into gay :)
