Great. Now I’ve got Pat Benatar stuck in my head.

Impressions:

It can happen suddenly. Any time. Any where. You’re just minding your own business when… SUDDENLY, KUGIMIYA RIE STRIKES.

An okay episode, but the start dragged a lot thanks to the rather uninspired and repetitive visuals. They really made sure to get their money’s worth out of this little screen, despite the whole thing looking ridiculous. Who lines up shoulder to shoulder and then has a conversation? Himeji’s terrible cooking joke also dragged on for at least two or three minutes longer than it needed to without a decent punchline to the whole sordid affair. I was also a little surprised that Minami’s little sister Hazuki didn’t really do much of anything. She showed up to deliver Minami’s lunches and then was just there for most of the rest of the episode.

At any rate, the focus was on Minami this week, but a lot of it was her just angsting around and then cockblocking herself at her big moment before being yaoi cockblocked. Predictibly though, since Yoshii didn’t get anyting to eat from any of his other girl/boyfriends, he ended up with Minami’s food after all and the status quo was restored to normal through the double double rotating tsundere boxed lunch social dance. Minami really missed the double lutz on that one. The East German judge was not impressed.
