Kamisama Dolls episode 2: Not everyone can be a Seki. Apparently you are chosen by the village. Kyouhei, Aki and Utao are the (un)fortunate ones. As Kyouhei and Utao practicing with Kukuri, there's this explosion at the club house thanks to a mental female. They send Kukuri to check it out and what a big mistake it is since that mental female loves supernatural/unexplainable things so when she sees Kukuri, she shits in her pantsu. Anyhoo, nothing much happened in this episode except that Kyouhei reaffirmed that he doesn't want anything to do with the Kakashi and the village. I am curious as what happened exactly for the first minute of the first episode. I guess I'll keep watching it then to find out.

It has been a while. Time to catch up with Kamisama no Memochou. Episode 2: New case. Meo comes to Alice since his father left her a bag full of money and never return after a suspicious phone call. Alice job is to find Meo's dad who might have involved with some sort of a crime hence why he's running away and being chased at. Before Alice accepted the job, she specifically told Meo not to call her dad but she called anyway. I'm definitely impressed with how fine the executions are for this show. Awesome. Too bad I can't marathon to catch up with the episodes. Damn life.

I don't think I can handle blushing Narumi *faps*

The start of episode 2 of Mawaru Penguindrum talked about fate encounters. I haven't been properly introduced to that girl yet. Anyhoo, they received orders from 'the hat' to meet the girl I mentioned before at 0810 tomorrow. She probably has the Penguin Drum that would be used to initiate the Survival Strategies (edit: her name is Ringo). They followed her around all day. Turns out Ringo is a nut case who has a crush on Shouma and Kanba's teacher. She stalks him like the brothers stalk her. Hah twist!

I don't get the pink nails but THIS!

Morita-san wa Mukuchi episode 5: Miki is definitely Mayu's best friend. Only she understand what her silence means. In episodes 6, the boys are back with their delusions as their eavesdrop on the girls conversation. Mayu also has a stalker. The girls discussed their ideal guy in episode 7. Mayu still as dense as ever.

Next up is episode 2 of Nekogami Yaoyorozu: They received a big package addressed to Mayu. Inside it is a giant jar. Since it's a hindrance to Yuzu's store, Mayu dumped it somewhere else. The next day, she was visited by Yoshino, the God of Cherry Blossoms. Apparently the jar contain blooming ash for the cherry blossoms. So the whole party of nekogami came to help finding the jar. They eventually found the jar thanks to Mayu's power and thus the cherry blossoms blossom with extraordinary speed >_>

First Impression: Kamisama Dolls

Watching the first minute of the episode got me so confused. The distress that they want to portray definitely shines through for I do not know what the fuck is going on. Maybe because I don't expect to see mecha in this show. Blame me for ignoring the synopsis and other posts regarding this show to avoid spoilers.

/distraction/ Damn have you seen the rack on Hibino Shiba? WTF with that melon. Naturally every males want to get their dick in between those things, including our protagonist, Kyouhei Kuga.

Kyouhei is from a small village that has some sort of mecha as their familiar. They called themselves Seki, those who share their heart with the mecha. Aki, was locked up after the massacre but when he knows that Kyouhei has moved to Tokyo, he escaped the village. Utao, their little sister comes to stop him but is no match. She ends up blowing the house to piece which forces Kyouhei to move with Hibino. Chance!

Aki has made me suspicious of the village, even more so when Kyouhei called himself their slaves even though he left it. It seems like the shrine is like where all the orders come from and they are absolute. I see why Aki is rebelling now.

They called the mecha as god (kamisama) and the person who controls it as dolls thus Kamisama Dolls.

Surprisingly I like this show a lot. It's not anything like I have expected.

I played this episode without any real expectation but the murder and blood has got me a tad excited. The fact that one of the family member massacred the village just pretty much sealed the deal.

I just have a thing for a white hair male character: Gin, Accelerator, Gintoki, Xerxes Break and Zero Kiryuu to name a few. Most of the time they are archetype of sinister yet cunning and sometimes emo characters. I will often turns to goo with such character presents.
