Maison Ikkoku — Episode 52
It’s been entirely too long since I last watched an episode of this series. Episode 52 was a great one to pick it up with though. Kyoko at her finest. Then again, when is Kyoko not at her finest?
Ah! My Goddess — Episode 7
I’m going to slightly alter what my husband said to me while I was watching this episode to make it a bit less tacky. Belldandy has gone beyond vapid to the point where I’m beginning to wonder if she isn’t mentally handicapped. It’s not cute. It’s not even funny. It’s just painful to watch her act so stupidly–particularly when she’s perfectly capable in most other settings. Naivity can be a very fun characteristic to work with, but when taken too far, it just piles on the misery.
Next episode will bring in Skuld and Urd, but I have little hope. I’m not sure even Hisakawa can rescue this train wreck.
Oh, and why is the art and animation so cheap and ugly? It’s not that old of a show, given the manga’s popularity, surely that had something of a budget to work with. Right? I guess not…
