Ahhh, episode 2. LOTS of teasing moments especially...

...Shizuma tried to kiss Nagisa TWICE, and both of those times she got interrupted!

Though that Tamao, Nagisa's roommate, somehow reminds me of Tomoyo in CCS especially when she calls her cute on mundane actions. She did get to feed her with desserts though.

I think I'll offically call Shizuma a "yuri vampire" because everytime Nagisa gets close to her, she gets frozen stiff and submissive; obviously it gives enough time for Shizuma to make her move.

I just saw the first episode. I have yet to see the second even though that should change soon.

I can sort of see the "yuri vampire" thing now. It's quite funny. It seems like this will be a whacky Marimite. I'll keep an eye on it.

Hmmm, episode 3 was a bit slow and not much happened.

Though on the plus side we do get to see Nagisa in her energetic and serious side and learn a bit more about the school. She was able to confront Shizuma quite boldly when she agreed to help the student council to look for her. Of course once Nagisa realized that, she sort of faltered and surcombed to Shizuma's "lustful glare". In the end Shizuma did let her go for the time being.

So in other words, nothing worthy of spoiling.

I just watched it. I was surprized out how bold Nagisa can be. I still want to smack her though from getting zapped by the stare again. The school conflicts was kind of a treat. I hope this will be developed on more in the future. I also wish they would get into Shizuma's head a little bit more. I did some reading so I kind of know why she's there but a better explaination would be required. I'll give the show a chance...and try not to think of Marimite.

I'm going to catch episode 3 in a while.
Overall, I'm enjoying the anime. I didin't know it was shoujo-ai at first, but sure, it will be a good "learning" experience xD The story looks alright. The characters are indeed cute, no problems there ^_^

Hmmm, it seems like episode 4 shifted to a different "triangle" in the Spica side of the school. And that would be with Hikari, Amane, and Yaya. The episode itself was pretty cliched, but it didn't matter to me because it was cute.

Basically Hikari really admires Amane a lot, and she couldn't wait to sing her song with the choir in the congratulatory ceremony. Unfortunetely she was so nervous that she started singing before the others started. After she realized her mistake, she got embarrassed and didn't sing in the ceremony.

And then stuff happened mostly with Hikari being somewhat angsty. Though in the end when Hikari was singing in the morning at the stables, Amane heard her voice. She pretty much appreciated her voice and told her that she doesn't like being an idol because it's embarrassing. After those two decided to can call each other by their first names, Amane took Hikari back to the dorm like a prince taking back the princess on a horseback.

Episode 5.....gothic lolita maids, FTW!!!

But it basically about how the first year student Chiyo really admires Nagisa on a few occasions and wanted to do everything to serve her. But of course stuff goes wrong against her favor. She cries, and Nagisa forgives her yet she still cries because she's a clutz. The part where she bang her head agaisnt a table was funny and unexpected though.

I gotta catch up with this. I'll watch 4 now and 5 soon. Still don't know how I feel about this show yet. Maybe it'll change once I watch these two.

Episode 6 is much better, and it actually foreshadowed a plot about Shizuma and her problems. It also looks like that Nagisa is going to attempt to help her. Nonetheless this episode got some decent development for Shizuma, and there were a good number (non-yuri unfortunetly

) of Nagisa x Shizuma moments.
