Broken Anime

Episode 07 “Woman” at a glance:

This episode focuses very little around Shinkurou, and more about Tamaki, the flirtatious university student in his apartment complex, and the Kuhouin family. Tamaki takes Murasaki to the university with her and gives her a lesson on men and how to deal with them. However, as you meet some of the people that Tamaki knows on campus, it becomes clear that she carries a lot of insecurities, emotional baggage and is very violent, making it hard for her to keep a boyfriend. While her and Murasaki are leaving a store, someone sees Murasaki and reports it to her father. For the last parts of the episode, Kure-nai shows more of the twisted relationship that the father had with Murasaki’s actual mother and how she ended up killing herself. Now Murasaki’s father is sending someone to retrieve Murasaki, but I don’t believe he knows about Shinkurou yet (just Yayoi).

We’re all pedophiles now…

“Dude, stop embarassing yourself and pick your balls up off the ground…”

*sneeze* - a cultural reference lost to many gaijin

“Shinkurou, why you liek loliz?”

“I’ll be gentle…”

Review: Awww…. now I kinda want Tamaki to end up with Shinkurou.

“But then again… there is that thing about him being a lolicon” - LOL, this made me laugh out loud every time.

But I like how they’re making the main characters a little more 3-dimensional… Tamaki is not longer the ditsy girl living next door… and Murasaki’s father is no longer the completely heartless bastard that I had originally thought he would be… Of course, these assumptions could all change in the blink of an eye, but in a more realistic world, people usually have depth like this.
