You don’t always see her smile.
Today I saw yet another ending for for two anime series, one is from the spring season and another one is carried from winter season. Yes, I’m talking about Nazo no Kanojyo X and Mouretsu Pirates respectively. Both ended in a way that is not bad though if I was the one in charge of Mouretsu Pirates I’d give it a bit different ending.
Dressing up to see her “future mother-in-law”?
For NazoKano ep. 13 (the series finale) the first half of the episode was about Tsubaki’s sister. One day Urabe bumped into her and then she invited Urabe for a talk at a café. They started talking about their crushes though the conversation was mostly weighed towards Tsubaki’s sister.
Tears of losing somebody…
Earlier Tsubaki arrived at home from school and found his sister fell asleep and drooling at the same time. Seeing her drooling reminded Tsubaki of Urabe and after she woke up Tsubaki asked her if she had a boyfriend but she didn’t answer it straight but told Tsubaki that it was a weird question.
She can smile after all.
So Tsubaki’s sister did have a boyfriend too back then but after they graduated from school both of them gradually lost contact. From the conversation I think Urabe might be thinking about Tsubaki might grew apart from her someday. I have no comment about their possible future but I’m hoping that they’ll be together forever.
The end.
The second half of the episode was about Urabe wanted to visit Tsubaki’s mother’s grave. Tsubaki was surprised that she dressed up as beautifully but then he learned that Urabe was doing that to ‘impress’ his mother. I’m pretty sure Tsubaki was proud at that time.
There might be no second season but I wish there will.
Oops I forgot to explain why Urabe shed her tears. Actually it was from exchanging droll with Tsubaki in order to experience what Tsubaki felt when he lost his mother back then, and at the same time to make Tsubaki remember about his mother. Then Urabe hinted that she’d want to become part of his family someday.
I guess this fits the definition of sexy too.
Mouretsu Pirates continued from last week with a battle against the “Pirate Hunter”, the Grand Cross. It was not an easy battle and it was a bit off Marika’s original plan too because they were facing not one but three Grand Crosses! However Marika with her quick decision-making managed to take control in the battle and even manage to board the main Grand Cross.
Marika suddenly become so sexy in this episode. I guess this is what they call “saving the best for the last”.
The bad thing about this ending was I prefer the bitch that ‘piloted’ the Grand Cross be captured and sentenced but too bad she got away in the end, escaped safe and sound from the self-destructed Grand Cross. That is what I said about “different ending” earlier.
Showing respect even towards the enemy.
Oh well Mouretsu Pirates was supposed to be a ‘happy’ anime so there’s no way we could see people got killed or something, although I’m still wondering what happened to those pirate ships that fell victim to Grand Cross in the past episodes. I remember in one episode one ship got blown into smithereens that I think there’s no way anybody would survive that attack. That’s enough reason to ‘kill’ that bitch (Grand Cross’ captain whatever her name was).
It’s sad that I had to say goodbye to Chiaki-chan (T_T)
One thing I learned today is there’ll be no second season for Mouretsu Pirates but an OVA/movie is confirmed. Well that’s OK considering that there’s not much to see in this series where it’s just a story that jumps from an arc to another arc. After all it was aired for 26 episodes so that is more than enough for a series that was planned to have only half of that episode number.
Oh BTW for some reason Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan finale didn’t air this week but I can wait for that. After all I ‘survived’ waiting for Madoka Magica’s finale so this is just a small matter to me. On the other hand the summer anime looks really interesting and seems to be having a lot of fap series too *drools*
