First I'll get this off my chest. Yes, I thought Hagino was about to kiss Mari. I mean, everyone loves surprise yuri kisses, right? :lol:

And unfortunately that didn't happen. Instead,
Spoiler :
Hagino's eyes turned blue, and she started to choke her.
Overall the first episode definitely led a very leisurely pace since it's mostly about Mari entering to an all-girl school. Hell, a lot of the scenes came from that PV trailer I've posted so I guess I shouldn't have posted it in the first place I guess......hehehe.

Though there were a few interesting tidbits such as
Spoiler :
what happened to Mari five years ago, and what the heck is Hagino.
Hmm, I'll still keep my eyes peeled on this. On another note, I heard that the events presented in this anime actually took place a couple years before the manga so I'm expecting some sort of bittersweet tragic moment near the end.

Woah, the anime is out? I really loved the manga for Blue Drop, such as the story/artwork etc, so I am really looking forward to this. Looks like the art style has been modified though.

I think it's good that it's taking place before the manga, as that gives us some insight to how it was like before.

Episode 2....hehehe! 8-)
Spoiler :
Most of the episode dealt with Mari who couldn't stop thinking about Hagino. That sound like a sign of true love, don't ya' think?! Heck, later on it led to Mari to change dorm rooms and live with Hagino. :P

Though the end of the episode led to some spiffy events like what happened to Mari home island that got wiped out. It seemed that most of the people were murdered. More focus between Hagino and an alien named Tsubael were made.

Episode 3 .. hehe . I haven't laughed this hard sense Dita burned the turkey in VanDread:

Noodles/Spaghetti .. General Purpose Flour ( make a volcano opening in the middle of the cone shaped mountain on the table. ) add Eggs in the middle of the volcano and mix into the flour until it has the consistency of Play-Doh. Roll-out thin and cut to desired lengths and widths. Boil in water w/o oil and/or salt until eldente ( transparent ) the serve. [ flavors can be added while mixing or they can be added while soaking in the heated liquid its being served with. ]

T_T there is no-way to possibly screw that up! ... :lol:

For Mari, it's very possible! At least she didn't come across a similar incident like pouring milk into a bowl of cereal and have it burst into flames! :lol:

Anyways, episode 3 got really interesting as we got more insight on the aliens (yes there are aliens involved)!
Spoiler :
- Hehehe, so Hagino is really an alien, and she's the commander of the spaceship Blue.

- And just to note, ALL of the aliens are female with blue eyes and white hair (well maybe except for Hagino because she has to blend in with the humans) which means.......

-.......they introduce 2 lovers on another ship where one alien named Azanael was thinking about her lover Onomil. SO CUTE!!! :oops:

- Though I think something tragic happened to Onomil that may have been related to the incident 5 years ago. Awwww....:cry:
Back on the human side, well.....
Spoiler :
....Mari couldn't sleep well last night ever since that little incident where she saw Hagino talking to the alien Tsubael. So she pretty much stared Hagino down and the same with Hagino. Of course this led for Mari to fall asleep.
Hmmm, this is slowly building up pretty nicely. If this keeps up, this could be it!

Wow! Really rare to see an anime where at episode 3 you still have no real idea what the heck is going on.. Still scratching my head trying to figure out where this one is going.

Now episode 2 I didn't take it as Mari caring about her but as she knows something isn't right about Hagino yet she appears to everyone else as the perfect person. This gets Mari in a boil at Hagino knowing something isn't true about Hagino and weird and strange occurances are happening around her and only she seems to notice. Not only that but after nearly being strangled to death she is made to room with her and I don't know about you but I believe her thoughts are what mine would be.. What she planning to do kill me in my sleep? Or with the weird occurances around her perhaps it's something just as devious that she plans while I am sleeping.

I feel for Mari she is forced to go to a boarding school and than meets what appears to be a psychopath right away. Now this psychopath has attempted to kill her than introduces herself in class as if it's the very first time they have met! Than to make matters worse forces her to be rooming with her! Oh poor Mari!

Episode 4 has......

TENTACLES! And for a slow-moving drama mystery series, that threw me off! :lol:
Spoiler :
On the "real-world" side, we learn that Michiko (the one with the glasses) has an aspiration of writing stories, but of course she's embarrassed about showing it to others. And also seems like Akane is somehow involved with a few thugs for who knows what reason.

Back on the alien side, we do learn more about the accident that happened and it's confirmed that it was Hagino's fault. There were some tension with Azanael since she blamed Hagino for letting her lover get killed. Also the alien Shivariel was interested on how Mari survived in the incident so she sent a probe (the a.k.a. tentacle robot) to fetch Mari. Hagino was aware of it and came in with her sexy battle suit to save Mari. After Hagino destroyed the probe, Mari did the ol' "why didn't you come sooner" bit despite the fact she's relieved that Hagino saved her. Oh Mari, you're so amusing! 8-)
