A New character is in the anime! Meet the snake of the Zodiac, Aya! As we can see, Yuki isn’t fond of him. But that is only because he is insulted by what Aya did the moment ago, which I will remain in silence. Let’s say that it was so revolving that I don’t want to talk about it.

Meet Aya in his human form. Somehow, you have to laugh about it. The creators thought it was a good idea to give Aya his own melody: bagpipe.^^ If you hear that guy talk with that bagpipebackground, you can’t be serious about anything at the moment. Aya is the brother of Yuki. That suprised me too, because I can’t really imagine for Yuki having a brother. He seems like a lonely guy, without a sibling or so. Well, the fact that Aya is his sibling doesn’t change the fact, because the two of them.. They don’t get a long that much. And I can understand, because let’s face it. Aya is a total weirdo.^^ Because Aya is the snake of the Zodiac, he transforms when it’s cold. Snakes are reptiles, coldblooded creatures, it’s logical for him to be so. That’s also the reason of the ‘revolving’ situation, at the beginning of this episode.

I don’t know how I should see this moment. We know now that Hatori, Shigure and Aya are childhoodfriends, but luckily I’ve already seen this anime and I know that Shigure and Aya are only kidding in what they say. We know that Shigure likes to make a fool of people and say weird things, this was SO weird. And wrong. Lets say: It was so revolving that I don’t want to talk about it. A line that will be used several times this review.^^

Because of the weird introduction that Aya made with Tohru, he invites her for lunch! Tohru isn’t good in this kind of situations, and she feels like she is swept away. But even so, they talk about the ‘brotherly bond’ that Aya and Yuki have. Aya is ten years older then Yuki is, and even so, he is raised freely, doing what he wanted to do and so. He wasn’t aware of the fact that he had a brother. This has formed a gap between the two and they can’t come close to eachother because of it. Aya came by to meet Tohru, he came also by to see how Yuki was doing. It’s been several days since Yuki was confronted with his worst fear, and Aya was worried about his little brother. But Yuki seems doing fine. It dissapointed Aya because this was his chance to be a brotherly figure to Yuki and so on. Aya is trying so hard to get to know his little brother, that Yuki is annoyed by it and doesn’t reveal anything about himself, what makes Aya even try harder and so and so. Tohru says she wants to help.

At home, Yuki is asked if he dislikes his brother, and Yuki answers that he just doesn’t know what Aya is thinking. Well. We’ll be honest. The ones that cán understand how Aya thinks, please be so kind to raise your hand and tell it personaly. Aya says he wants to stay over the night(s).

Here he is at breakfast, after another revolving situation that Kyou has experienced. We know what Kyou does when he gets angry, so.^^.. After three days, he still doesn’t want to leave.

They go to school and Tohru talks a bit with Haru and Momiji about the situation back home. Haru seems to understand the situation when a very down Yuki walks by. Haru is taking action. Aya owns a shop too, and we will be hearing more about that shop. Let’s say already that this shop.. it suits the character of Aya.^^

At home, the revolving goes on and on, when Shigure and Aya talk about their own High School lifes. Aya was president of the Student Council, and we hear all kind of ‘weird’ stories. The expression of Yuki was just priceless after hearing how Aya convinced the chairman of his long hair. Let’s face it again, he just likes to lie.^^. Yuki is almost broken down, and so is Kyou. And that moment, Hatori comes in.

Aya goes home. How come so quickly? Aya only listens to Hatori, because Hatori has some things that Aya wants to have but he hasn’t got them. And they are off. Yuki says that that man can’t be helped, but he doesn’t really dislike him. Everything is fine, once more, and we will hear more about Aya.^^

I really liked this episode. I’m a snake myself according to the Zodiac, so it was interesting to see what the snake character is like in the anime. Let’s say that I’m not like him, at all. Thank goodness.^^ Aya is a wonderful character, but he is the weirdest sidecharacter I’ve ever seen. I’ve laughed so much and so loud when I saw it.^^

This was so stupid that I don’t even know where to start to advice people to not touch this anime. First of all: This anime is about idols. And of course, the main character is going to be one. And she is going to be so famous and bla bla bla. The main typical girl story about adolescence that dream to be one day so famous and participate all kind of dull programmes like Idols. This is garbage.

The girl is the worst kind too, she is a slow, dreaming of her prince (that she meets one minute later=.=), lookatmebeingcute, girl. She is ‘cute’, populair, annoying. I hate her. Adolescences..=.=. The girl falls in love with someone and after much trouble she realises that the guy is a mega star. Oh golly.=.= I hate this. The art sucks as well, the story sucks as well, the characters sucks as well, the music is garbage. Do I need to say more? I hated the talking annoying cat as well that has some powers to brush hair, scare away idiotic persons and is suposed to fill the role of an incredibly cute animal. It fails.

This story sucks. Stay away from it. This is my first, and last impression of this utterly garbage of the spring season. I can understand why it’s subbed so late.

Yuki, Kyou and Tohru are now second year students. Today, the ceremony starts, and this is the day that Momiji and Haru will join the High School life with the rest of the bunch. Because in Japan this is so important, Tohru ‘forced’ Kyou to come with her to greet the newbies. But, she has forgotten in which class they are.^^ While Kyou asks in which class they are, Tohru spaces off.^^ Too funny. Once again. Kyou warns her that when she is alone, that she has to be on her guard the whole time, but she doesn’t really understand. But when she is with Kyou, she can space off all she want. See the picture.^^ I find it amazing for someone to space off that much. I wish I could do that.

They found the class! And Momiji managed to wear the most ‘interesting’ schooluniform ever. He wears a girl uniform. But you have to say, he looks really good in it.^^ Yuki comes by as well, asking why on earth he is dressed up this way, but he is not the only one that comes.

Campus defense force, or: the student council. In Japan, the student councils are powerfull youth movements in the school and they can really make a difference. This time, the president is just angry at Haru because of his hair. Saying that it’s his original color doesn’t help, and the president goes on bickering at Momiji. Momiji’s soul is still a kid, so he can’t take all this critism. The president really sets his life at stake the moment Haru is pissed off.^^

We all know what happens then. Haru scared the hell out of the whole Student Council. That guy is good in his arguments, but: it’s a little scary and impulsive. And black.^^ I remain in silence because the most utterly wrong situation was used to prove the natural haircolor of Haru. I can guess what happens, but I have a strange feeling that it is a good thing that it wasn’t showed on screen. In fact, I don’t want to know anything else about it. The question of Tohru afterwords, gives Kyou and Yuki the permission to beat the hell out of that guy. The bell rings, Tohru is off. And then, plottwist for the coming time in this episode: Namely:

Akito is at school. And Tohru runs into him. That can’t be a too good situation.

Tohru is suprised by him and caught off guard. She doesn’t know how to behave in a situation like this, because she has never been in such situation before. She greets him, and Akito greets as well. The air was too thick in this scene, because we would have expect any moment an attack on her. Remember, this guy is the one that hurted the eye of Hatori. In the moment that Akito wants the two of them become friends, and we all know that he was lying, Yuki bursted in.

But, he is scared to death. Akito comes to him, and we get the most terrifrying scene ever. Akito talks to him and said that it was hurting to him that Yuki didn’t show up at New Year’s party. He has been tolerant lately, and yet, Yuki disobeys him. Yuki is more scared and scared by the moment. I wondered about this, because we’ve never seen Yuki scared before. With this scene, it all becomes clear. Yuki is abused, beaten, mentally tormented by Akito and is traumatised by it. That’s why he can’t stand the house of the Soumas, because he is reminded by all his memories of Akito. It’s too scary, even the moment Akito threatens to ‘re-educate’ him. We can all guess what that could be. Yuki is too scared by him, but yet, he shows up, to protect Tohru for what he fears that will happen: That Tohru will lose her memory and that he will be alone by himself once more. I also wondered about Akito. He is the badguy of this anime, that is clear, but even so, he incredibly soft. But he is manipulating, indoctrinating, and just too evil by doing that his soft way. He is the perfect badguy. He is cunning. I wouldn’t be suprised if he manages to do something to Yuki far more evil. The comment that he made that it ‘would be nice if Yuki had a nice High School time’ convinced me that we haven’t heard all of Akito. Later when Hatori and Shigure talk about the incident, we can see that it’s Akito’s mission to make Yuki unhappy. He can’t be happy when Akito is around, because Yuki is too scared by him, even now.

The tension is broken by Tohru, and she pushed Akito away. Akito leaves, and Tohru takes Yuki with her to play with the whole High School Bunch badminton. Yuki is happy once more, because there are warm people that he can trust and that can make him feel alright again. And that is something that Akito fails to see.
