Insert Stupid Grin Here, Please
*blinks* O-kaayyy....what's up with the new background at TheO? O_o totally wasn't expecting that. Oh well, that aside you know what I despise greatly? End of semester crap-pile. Interrupts me from things I love. Like Sekaiichi Hatsukoi. Yeah, it's near the end of the semester pour moi so I've been spending the last few nights bullcrapping my way through term papers x.x. But, fortunately, I think I got most of them done...now it's just finals to worry about...T_T
Despite the horror that is the end of the semester, I pulled a couple of all nighters and managed to get enough done so that I could allow myself a half hour for episode 3 of Sekaiichi Hatuskoi. It begins with Takano-san and an unknown figure duking it out over the fact that the magazine has sold out in one day and they need to reprint, causing Mysterious-Person-san to blame Takano-san for not requesting more copies. Takano-san then retorts by saying that he did request for more copies, but the head honchos refused. Turns out this new guy is Yokozawa, from the Sales Department. He ends up being a key figure in the whole Takano-Onodera relationship, but I shall not talk about for those who don't want to be spoiled.
As for my views on this episode, overall I was pleased. However, I was a bit iffy in terms of Yokozawa. First off, I always pictured him to have jet black hair...not to be a blue-head. For me, his hair color was too light-the shade of blue wasn't dark enough, in my opinion. Second is his voice...I dunno why, but when I first heard it, my head titled and I was like "eh?" I guess if it was a little deeper? I dunno...I'm sure it'll grown onto me, but for the time being I'm a little iffy with it.
However, beyond that, I found the episode to be enjoyable. It stuck faithfully to the manga, and it ended on a cliffhanger, which I found to be interesting (the chapter this is based off of goes beyond the whole Onodera opening door and seeing Yokuzawa scene). As for the chu scene, I found the music accompaniment to cause me to grin like an idiot--it just fit very nicely. The overall scene felt slightly rushed, but that could just be because of time restraints.
I wonder when we'll have an episode focusing on the second pairing of this series-the Kisa x Yukina pairing? Because with Junjou Romantica, episode 3 introduced the second pairing...so it seems like by now we should have an episode for them (plus, they are bloody adorable-my only complaint is that Yukina isn't a brunette instead of a blond). But judging from the preview, looks like next week's episode is gonna be another Takano x Onodera related one--picking up from where episode 3 ended.
On a different note, my spring break ends tomorrow and I feel like I need a vacation. Oh, the irony that is my life -_-. Luckily, after this there's only about 2 weeks of classes left and after that is finals...T_T
I should seriously consider becoming a bum. I hear they make on average 40 grand (non-tax deductible)a year. Not bad for sitting on your butt all day and looking le tragique, ne?
Anywhose, enough of me ranting. Hope y'all had a lovely Easter, even if you don't celebrate it--hey, chocolate is non-discriminatory! For all my fellow stressed out college peeps, hang in there! We will (somehow) get through this. As for whether we loose whatever sanity we have left, however, is an entirely different matter ^,^
Cheers,
