The Color of Lovers #06 — Platonic Heterosexual Bathtime

November 8th, 2011

 

Japan, your culture confuses me.

Impressions:

This is an episode that raises a number of questions. How bad must Ange’s home life actually be if living as some random guy’s servant and trying to sneak into his bed is something she looks forward to? How the hell does that cat thing eat food of greater mass than it? How does fire only singe the tops and bottoms of posters, yet burns Uryuu’s hand badly enough for it to need bandages? In a time where people have cellphones, at a school for rich kids, and with most of the cast related to students or faculty, why do none of them have access to a scanner or copy machine? How exactly is Airi going to explain forcing Uryuu having a platonic bath with her? "He was wet, so I made him come to my house, get naked, and then I followed him in, sitting down in his lap, but it’s okay because I turned off the lights first?" Where exactly did that convenient beam of light come from in the middle of a rainstorm? How did Uryuu turn around in the bath so quickly in a sitting position? Does he not have legs? Does Miu have more than two expressions?

These questions and more will not be answered next week. Same Bat Time. Same Bat Channel.

    Some questions are better left unanswered…

    But, seriously, what is with that animal? Is it actually a cat?

    This is anime/Japan. The real question is “how good is her home life if she’s privileged enough to be some random guy’s servant and gets to sneak into his bed to be rejected for no reason?”

    See, your mistake was that you left out the misogyny.

    I can’t help but feel that Airi is on the verge of jumping him. Every scene she’s in, you get the impression she totally wants to pin him down against the nearest flat surface and ride him.

    • EXM says:

      Well, I have to admit, the show’s direction would be very interesting if the cast were that psychotic. I’m actually interested in what would happen if Airi actually tried to seduce the MC. As perceptive as he is, he’s pretty dense when it comes to stuff like that so it appears. I mean, he didn’t jump any of the girls despite them forcefully entering the bath with him.

  • Syaoran Li says:

    @burnout
    You’re damn right about that.

  • Raikitsune says:

    She does want him desperately. He is the first man she feels is worth being around in any way shape or form so naturally her repressed sexuality is overflowing.

    There’s something wrong with this picture… I can feel it in my gut. XD
