天下制覇

Back to the very start of the series we go!

Impressions:

This episode had a bit of a handicap in Aroduc-land^(tm) since I only got about two hours of sleep last night thanks to the oppressive heat and a job interview around the time that I normally reserve for crawling out of bed and hitting the snooze alarm to sleep another hour or so. I’ve kept myself going on Mountain Dew for most of the day, but it’s start to wear off. Enough about me though, I’m boring and lame.

Reeeeeeeeewind the clocks a bit because this episode directly follows episode 1 of this season and takes place on the very first day of school. Miyako is calling Sae, Se, Yuno and Miyako haven’t learned to fear Yoshinoya yet, and Yuno is still spazzing out about how to get dressed in her school uniform and whether or not she’s ready for the great big world. I was happy to see lioness Sae punish Miyako for physically threatening poor Hiro. Cowering Hiro is adorable and all, but Miyako generally deserves a good smack or eight.

We also got to finally meet Misato, the girl who used to live in Yuno’s room (unless my brain is failing me here and she’s just a random other Hidamari apartments former resident). She’s full of lies, but does sport a pretty cute pony tail and a fetching scarf for what appears to be a pretty balmy April. A scarf with those low rider jeans though? She’s lucky that Hiro’s nice and Sae has no sense of fashion anyway, or she’d have gotten a stern talking to and a makeover. Hopefully we’ll see a bit more of her, I liked her… for the 90 seconds or so that she was around.

Alright, maybe I’ve just been looking for an excuse to link Clone High. I apologize for nothing!

Preview:

If there is no cavalry battle with Hiro riding on the other three, my disappointment will know no bounds.
