Kimi ni Todoke 07 – Saturday
November 25th, 2009
Well that certainly is a different kind of R&R…
So my sorry ass has been put under the tender loving care of JMB and that means I have less time to fanboy Sawako and her first SATURDAY NIGHT of her high school years. So after the glorious defeat of Vichy-tan’s Girl bully thrust it was time for Sawako take a bit of R&R after doing a “backhand blow” of her very own. Yosiada wants to have a Ramen Revenge and seems to have a penchant for ranting about ramen. Sawako seems to like rants and it was a fairly innocent night though it seems Yoshida and Ryuu have a very complicated relationship and history. I hope that it will come out more later, but for now it seems Yano had her own fun trolling Kazehaya while feeling up Sawako and making the “gentlemen” fume with indignation. Kazehaya gets the honor of escorting her home. Fortunately it seems that Mii-chan smiles upon them and gifts them with a gorgeous DELICIOUS DECULTCHA night sky to admire. The forboding continues however as Kazehaya start feeling unjustified hatred towards Yano and Yoshida for building up skinship with Sawako. At least for now Ryuu demonstrates proper manly behavior in his dealings with Yoshida whom he sent off blushing…
At any rate since I am stuck doing training for a long time I’ll leave it to EO to carry on this series while I take the secondary role. With any luck I will have more down time later so it’s not too much of a rush.
EO’s Unadulterated Adoration of Sawako
After the intense conflict of the past few episodes, this time we get a well deserved break. Seriously, the past few weeks have really put me on edge, expecting the next attack to follow quickly on the heels of the first. But it’s alright cause it’s Saturday night. This episode there are so many happy Sawako moments as she hangs out with her friends that it almost made be forget the trauma of recent events. Still, we must remain ever vigilant to those who would seek to harm our Sawako and her refreshing way of life. We also got to know Ryuu better this time, and I have to say he’s a man after my own heart. Witty commentary and comebacks, joking yet subtly honest hints to Chizu, and he even saves time and hassle with his choice of hairstyle. And by looking through old yearbooks, a fine form of open source intelligence (OSINT), the allies finally have a name to put to the face of the Vichy-tan threat: Kurumi. But thoughts of future confrontations recede into the background as we get some Sawayakyaaaa-worthy moments of Kazehaya and Sawako walking home together, Kazehaya’s flimsy pretense for walking with Sawako only serving to make the couple even cuter.
No ‘cooking moe’ for our Sawako! Her skills are many and varied.
The red telephone just rang! This is it people, this is the day we’ve trained for! Go to FRIENDCON level 1!
OH GODS THE CUTE!
Precisely! Even Miyamoto Musashi only went through 60 duels. 99 has got him beat by more than 50%.
Now with a name and a proper mugshot the manhunt can begin! Last episodes’ defeated were merely her pawns!
Ryuu’s commentary is propelling him to ‘great secondary character’ status.
Good man! I too rock the ‘bozu’/buzzcut for its simplicity and lack of maintenance.
EO’s DAAAWWWW of the week: the subtle smile as Kazehaya enters.
Getting along so well now that they have the chance.
Practicing her Gendo pose.
Beautiful shot of the cute couple set against the Milky Way.
Watercolor effect backgrounds, astronomy, and lots of empty space. It’s like they made this shot just for me!
EO’s Scramble to Finish the Post
Things being hectic for Crusader lately, I’ll be taking over primary duty for Kimi ni Todoke until further notice. Hopefully things will settle down for him and he can return to lead the posts, but until then I’ll do my utmost to bring you continued coverage, dramatic military-historical interpretations, and undying adoration of Sawako. With that said, I’d like to get this post out the door tonight so it doesn’t get too far behind schedule. As such my extra coverage will be a little brief this time (basically just expanding on my secondary comments/screencaps section.) So here’s a quick recap in images.
Sawako’s mom has perfected her teasing face.
Sawako already sees their potential and wishes the future happy couple well.
Sawako’s fear is certainly understandable, but once she conquers it she shall be all the stronger for it.
Kazehaya was in such a hurry to get to hang out with Sawako he started to see time.
Doing some MGS-style avoidance of Pin.
Inside Kazehaya finds himself attacked on two fronts.
Short people got no reason…
Hmm, expert level tease-hint combo, or Ryuu being tsundere?
Kazehaya is still working on his Tytania contemplation pose, but with time he may get there.
