Yamato Nadeshiko Shigi Henge 8




This episode: Seeing people sparkle about how to eat hamburgers, seeing a shopping district holding a festival because they believe that Sunako and Kyouhei are a couple, seeing the fans ruin everything, seeing the guys "working" in a restaurant, and seeing both Kyouhei and Sunako with a kind of conscience.
And we learn this time how to behave in a restaurant when you are eating something French.

Sunako is still worried about her new life style. She just wants to life with the dazzling creatures without talking and being with them, but they are making her doing all the choirs (why shouldn’t they? They suck at it) and she can’t have her peace. At the dinner, Ranmaru told them that Oba-chan had some good news for them. They can work at a friends restaurant with a high pay per hour. Sunako thinks that they should go, but Kyouhei still insisted that she has to cook for them. With some quarrel, he also decided that the next day they would have nabe for dinner at a kotatsu (a Japanese low table). Since there is no kotatsu in the mansion, Sunako has to buy that one as well. Kyouhei just wants that because he wants to be the Nabe Shogun, the one who will decide who eats what. It looked really weird.^^

The next day, Kyouhei goes along with Sunako for the shopping. But everyone in the shopping centre thinks that he is her boyfriend and that Kyouhei is in fact a celebrity. They are so happy for Sunako that they give her all kinds for free. Kyouhei wonders if Sunako did something weird there, but she just buys groceries there.^^ The rumor spreads all over the shopping centre. I really had to laugh about that one. That the scary girl is walking with Mr. Mori High School. They are so happy that they even start a "Scary girl has a boyfriend" sale.^^ Everyone offers really expensive stuff to Kyouhei and because he didn’t know how to do shopping, he buys it all and they are completly broke. Sunako can’t help it because she fainted once again by the dazzling sparkles of happy Kyouhei.^^

At that moment that Sunako is scolding Kyouhei, a family walks by and talks about sukiyaki. And Kyouhei says with a smile that things like that are really nice. And his fans discover him and start to play a game with the groceries Sunako bought and it was all wasted. And Sunako is once again so pissed that she is in cool mode once again and said that she knew that this was going to happen. And she left.

And the guys are going to work. Because they are so goodlooking, they aren’t working in the kitchen but have to serve costumers. They all aren’t really good at that, but they will have to keep up with it. So they do and after a long day of work they can eat all they want in the kitchen. Takenaga tries to talk Kyouhei into a conscience and his attempt succeeds. Sunako meanwhile is eating in her room and feels guilty as well because Kyouhei really has something with happy little families. Later in the episode, Takenaga tells her that a lot was going on with Kyouheis family. So he hasn’t happy little family moments. And suddenly Kyouhei is in her room and tries to steal her food! That really pisses her off, of course. She hears the story of the guys and decides to go out for shopping: to make a kotatsu. That was really sweet of her. Dnd for the stuff for the nabe? She gets that for free, because they had a lot of customers the other day. ^^ Guess how that came.  Kyouhei was meanwhile working for the veggies and hears a nice story about Sunako when she is out for shopping.

Kyouhei discovers Sunako beneath a kotatsu she was carrying home and they have a nice moment because Kyouhei discovers that she made kotatsu herself and she discovers that he has worked too. They get home late and finally with the whole mob of friends they eat nabe. And: Sunako loves to cook. For some reason.^^
This episode wasn’t the best one, but still. I can’t get myself to critisize this anime.

Yamato Nadeshiko Shigi Henge 7




This episode: seeing a great view of a scared Yuki^^, a bad ass guy who fell in love with Sunako, seeing people being scared of an anatomy model and accidentally kidnap it, woman emancipation, a major kidnap and of course a day to be saved.
And we learn this episode that it is not okay to eat flowers when you got them from a beautiful boy. Damn it.^^

This was also a great laugh. We have a guy, who is the boss of some mob (the National Boss Association^^), and they try to rule the city. But they have heard that the city was ruled by the strongest men Kyouhei, so this bad ass dude tried to beat him. They go to his school and go stand in the way of the students and that way they meet Sunako who is fascinated by a knock-out teacher. And the Boss fell for her. But Noi said the moment after that Sunako already has Kyouhei and that really upset him.^^  But Kyouhei wasn’t really interested. In fact, he had to laugh because Sunako was called a beauty. And he just walked away.^^

At home, the guys are talking about the day. They are really suprised because someone fell for Sunako and think that love can change a woman and they hope that she will become a lady after that. They are talking a bit, until the fact remains that this Boss and Sunako make a real weird couple and the house shakes with laughter once again. Sunako walks by with Hiroshi and apperantly, she takes her baths with him. They are really close, in a scary way… The bunch of the Boss are meanwhile watching and they report it to the Boss who is well.. in one way also really scary.^^ And he can’t tolerate it!

So what do you do? You ask your underlings to kidnap the girl you love. That is the "perfect" plan. So these guys go the next morning to Sunako and she is waxing Hiroshi, Akira and Josephine. A bit scary. Especially when she says: "your insides are so pretty"… The guys don’t have the guts anymore and they are quarreling about who is going to kidnap her. But she already saw them and asks with Hiroshis inside in her hand of something is wrong. They run away, but they accidentally kidnap Hiroshi. And Sunako runs after it.

Meanwhile, Noi is all giddly because she goes on a date with Takenaga. But they are only going to the libary so she is trying to think of a good seduction skill. That was so funny to see! Even with the melody and her little song. When she finally found it, she was so happy and one second later knocked over by a hyperactive Sunako. Sunako is just in time to save her beloved Hiroshi-kun from being burned, but she has to take over the part of the hostage. Unfortunally. She surrenders. Luckily for her that Noi saw everything and reported it to the guys. She was afraid that the boss would harras Sunako and she was really worried. Kyouhei said that Sunako was going to be fine, and he laughed about the idea. Noi got so angry that she slapped him in the face. And she ran off to save her. Yuki, Ranmaru and Takenaga followed her. Kyouhei thought that everyone was overreacting.

They ran to the house where the Boss was and demanded that he would release Sunako, who had been buried into flowers. Boss said that he would release her only if Kyouhei would come. And because he didn’t come, all of the bunch became hostages. Because none of them really can fight like Kyouhei or Sunako, they didn’t stand a chance. Noi was also in trouble because she was just a pretty girl among a lot of thug, but luckily for her Takenaga saved her. That was so sweet.^^ The only problem was that he was beaten instead. But right on time, Kyouhei arrived and started to kick some ass.^^ Yatta!

But. He was beaten really badly when the bunch threatened to harm Sunako. Of course we know what happens after that. Sunako gets into the "cool-evil-destructing-mode" and well… Nobody can stop her after that.^^ I liked the ending, it felt really warm. How more I see of Yamato Nadeshiko Shigi Henge, how more I’m beginning to like it. So from now on! More pictures! Yatta! *smiles* I don’t care if it is corny, all those characters are so charming and cool in their own way that I can’t set myself to critisize the episode.

Versus Virus Venus review - 41/100



Venus Versus Virus is an anime who tries to lure me in with a cool first episode and a cool ED. I have never been so lured into an anime as this one. The first episode was pretty good, and after that you start to hope that it eventually will get better and it will be as good as you expected it to be. But. After a couple of episode you’ll just realise that you have been lured into the anime. There are two things you can do after that conclusion: Drop it, or blog it and have some fun. I have chosen for the blog it option. Because how hard I had to laugh over all the silly stupid events in this anime.

Anyway. This anime is about two girls who are fighting demons that you call Virusses. They are just really evil and need to get killed. The one girl is a real cool girl, without many emotions and she is just cool and harsh. She has a flashlight eye (really! It glows in the dark!) and has a horrible past because of her flashlight eye. Her name is Luchia. After a couple of years of fighting those evil Virusses, something happens and a new girl is introduced: Sumire. Sumire has no spine, whines about everything, has the most annoying friends ever, cries every episode, is scared to death every episode, doesn’t even notice when she almost is murdered by the badguys and she has an evil alterego. When she is shot by an anti-Virus bullet she becomes so evil that she can’t control herself and just wants to kill everyone in her path. That is a nice contrast, and it can work nice on paper.

But. It doesn’t work in the anime. We see Sumire whine about every little event for the first half of the anime and she was so annoying that I almost wanted to twist her neck. She keeps on wondering why this happened to her and bla bla bla. Really annoying. I kept on hoping that she would succeed in growing a spine (she did one episode! But the episode after, she was the same as ever) but unfortunally she didn’t. In fact, the creators gave all their attention to Luchia, a character who was perfectly fine, but they softened her a numberous times. A big mistake. What I would love to see is Sumire in her Berserker mode attacking Luchia and the two of them fighting. We never really saw that one. Unfortunally.

And don’t even get me started about the things you can predict in this anime. I predicted 4 episodes before the conclusion what the plot was going to be and I was right as well! I suck at predicting things so I was really taken back by laugther when I saw that bullshit. Further has this anime a lot of actions that really unnecesarry. For one example, the badguy and one of the goodguys meet in a busy shopping street. One second later they are in a deserted building, overdramatically holding a conversation. There are a lot of stupid deaths in this anime, for one example the minute that Sumire killed a Virus that had possessed a girl of her school. The second after that when her boyfriend hold her once again she completly forgot about that one. The most stupid action will remain that Luchia somehow in one year succeeded to age two years. Yes she did. And god, how stupid was that. And of course, you can already see it in the badguy. He is also pictured in this review. Who on earth would want evil glowing eyes? In fact, in every serious anime that is stupid. But with two different colors.. ^^..

If you ignore Sumire a couple of times and don’t watch her friends at all, this anime is hilarious. It sucks in many ways, but it is so bad, that it becomes really great to see. I recommend this to everyone who wants to critizise an anime, or to a couple of sarcastic friends. It is a great laugh. Because it isn’t meant to be laughable.

Venus Versus Virus 12

Filed under: Venus Versus Virus



This episode: Seeing the complete intro of this anime that lured me into watching, but the second after the intro it becomes garbage once again, seeing people turning into mud for no reason, evil Papa manipulating his own daughter and kidnapping Sumire, taking her fragment and turning her evil, Luchia searching for birthday presents while Sumires friends totally forgot about her and the most messed up ending ever.

Of course Luchia is trying to attack her own father, but he starts babbling once again about the true world. That was to be expected, right. He told her that Lilith sacrifised herself for him and stuff like that. And that Luchia could meet her mama once again if Lucif stole her fragment. And of course Luchia buys it, because of course this world is rotten. The only weird thing remains that we have only seen one example of why this world is rotten and that’s because both Lilith and Luchia were picked on when they were childs because they weren’t believed by anyone. If that is "this rotten world", I should praise them lucky. Anyway. Just at the moment that Luchia was about to offer herself to her father, her flashlight eye began to work once again and guess what. Lilith killed herself in order to protect her Fragment because this is the world where her child lived in. Luchia got angry and Lucif too and he kidnapped Sumire for the next time they meet. Muahaha. Ha. ha.. Oh btw. The woman with glasses who only said 5 lines in the whole anime appeared to be just some mud, just as the boyfriend. Gosh. The Oyaji died as well (who didn’t expect that one) and he just wishes for her to be happy. Gosh.

Luchia went home and was just being sad because Sumire was kidnapped. Instead of going after her she just decides to train her shooting skills. Of course. She isn’t reckless. Lola is meanwhile still eating chocolate, and they discover the birthday present of Sumire for Luchia. Sumire had also written a dramatic note by it and of course it was about how happy she was that she met Luchia.

After that, somehow she got into the same old church of the first episode. That’s why the first episode was so good! It was the bloody ending. Sign. But the moment after they started to fight, Luchia started to whine once again about that Sumire wasn’t herself and that her old self was still in her. Luchia uses her flashlight eye once again (what, why can’t Lucif use that eye of his?) and because of the spirit of Lilith and the Oyaji came, Lucif was killed. The end.

What the bloody hell? We don’t get even a happily running Sumire towards the shop and shouting something like: "TATAIMAAA!" or something like that? How can we expect this to be the ending? What is going to happen with Lola and with Laila? And Sumire and Luchia? How about the Virusses? Ah well. I guess we will never know. This was a good blogging time. But well.^^. This baka episode couldn’t beat the baka-ness of the last one. That really did it.

Venus Versus Virus 11

This episode: Seeing some amazingly stupid events. For example Yoshiki being strong, the most corny stupid evil laugh ever and the true meaning of the worst case scenerio.

Ooh golly this was so stupid that I laughed so hard that I almost fell of my chair. Of course Sumire still believes in her boyfriend and rejects all the arguments that Luchia comes up with, while it is obvious that he tries to kill Sumire. Sumire locks herself into her room and tries to call Yoshiki but gosh I wonder why on earth he didn’t pick up the phone. The next day, Sumire is absent in school and every school tries to call then the company where she works so Luchia knows it too. But why on earth would the school call Luchia? That doesn’t really make sense. Sumire visits Yoshikis school but I wonder why on earth he isn’t familiar with that school…

She doesn’t know that Yoshiki is in fact Aeon (who on earth is that?) and that he is in fact with the badguy for the evil ultimate plan (muahaha) and that he has to witness the worst evil laugh ever. Believe me, two shining flash light eyes is already bad to look at, but if you have two different colors, the fun doesn’t stop.^^

Luchia is meanwhile searching for Sumire and instead of just CALLING her they have to drive dramatically around the city, looking for her. Heck, that was so stupid. Anyway. At least Yoshiki calls her and they come to the museum and Sumire is almost killed there because Aeon wants to become a fossile… Wait a minute. Why on earth does he want to be a fossile? He is a really boring guy. Anyway. The other two side badguys appear and on the moment of truth, Aeon can’t take Sumires fragment. By the way, everything that I have forecasted about the fragments is been right. I guess this anime is really stupid. Aeon really loves her and they are friends again and love each other again. Aeon appears to be really, really strong and wipes the side badguys out. But why didn’t he use that power before..? It was really weird to see him like this. Luchia meanwhile found Sumire and saw the back of Yoshiki and thought: O NO HE IS TRYING TO KILL HER!!! And she stabbed him into the back and Yoshiki dies. But. Who the fck was Aeon anyway? I guess we will never know. Sign. Sumire gets into the Berserker mode after seeing her boyfriend dying the most stupid death ever (really. I have seen much death scenes in anime, but this really does it) and she kills Nahashi! Nooooo…

And of course, the cliffhanger: Lucif. O gosh I have no idea what is going to happen. *cough cough*
This anime is so stupid that it becomes hilarious! Yatta!
