Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru Episode 3

Flying saucer detected! All beware, UFM (”Unidentified Flying Mizuho”) alert! Please, everyone keep to your seats. It is simply for viewing pleasure that you see a trap-san and without any pantsu shots flying across as though they are in a Titanic boat, saying “Can I fly?”

Cute.

Cuter.

Cutest.

I am a Kana fanboy, you got a problem with me liking low self-esteem gals who makes herself as cute as possible?

Episode summary

We had a dream sequence where Mizuho had a nightmare on the coming Elder elections and she woke up in a scream. It seems that Mariya, Kana and Yukari had plans in which to advertise for her, making it totally awkward, as she was still not sure whether she would participate in this elder contest. Mizuho also realized that she needed 75% of the votes in order to win.

As they went to class, Shion also showed her support of Mizuho and it seemed that the class is also keen for her to be elder, as it would be a honor if the elder sister was in their class. As Mizuho went for world history, she met up with the student president (I haven’t caught her name, Takako?) in the class and it was a hostile feeling from the student president.

She asked why Mizuho joined this class and Mizuho said it was simply because she prefered to join a fun class. When the question was posed back to Takako, she said that she did it to get a better grade and Mizuho said that it was expected of Takoko to have a serious outlook. When the class ended, Takako warned Mizuho not to get her friends to spread unwanted rumors and tales, as the elder selection is not a popularity contest.

When Takako got back to her council office, the other council members are planning measures to spread the word for her but Takako chased them away, saying that it would be similiar to what Mariya and the rest are doing. The scene changed and Mizuho asked Mariya what she was spreading and the answer came when three unknowns came over and praised Mizuho for her “wonderful tales”. God knows what tales were spread.

The day finally came as the school students were asked to go to the hall for the final selection of the Elders. It seemed that all of them had been working hard to garner votes for Mizuho as they all sat down. As the teacher came out to speak the results, Mizuho won with an overwhelming 82% approval. However, Takako went up to stage, saying that this is not following tradition and it becomes simply a popularity contest that is made to look stupid.

However, Shion went up and said that the Elder should be a person that the whole school respects and should be someone that everyone can respect and vote for. She then asked if Takako was agreeableand it seemed that Takako had the hots for Shion so she did not mention. Shion then fainted due to over exertion (she was never that strong in constitution) as Mizuho rushed to pick her up and brought her to the rest area to sleep. As Shion woke up, Mizuho was glad but Shion urged her to go back and that she was fine. With that, Mizuho went back and she was greeted by everyone and that she was recognised as the elder. Even Takako agreed as she said she had only stood there, while Mizuho rushed over and brought Shion there. Takako acknowledged that Mizuho was special.

Thoughts

Where are my chibi shots??? I really like it when they make it all chibi like because the chibi is one of the key reasons why I watched this show. I do not understand why people say that this is worse than Strawberry panic. To me, SP is just a fricking lesbian show, not even considered as subtle yuri. That is why I appreciate Maritime much more, as it never explictly shows the girls having sex and all naked.

Bleah, bad taste.

Anyway, unlike normal chibi shows where the chibi is mostly cute, this chibi version is more hilarious, which fits for me, since the chibis fit the character very well. Also, I must add that Mariya is really the spiritual presence of Asa, the greatness green haired gal from Shuffle. She is really robust and I like it when she hits the back of Mizuho very hard. Man, she really rocks a lot with her genki and evilness to win.

I wonder if Mariya can cook as well? It will be great and I really like it because she is usually the catalyst for 99.9% of the pervertic or yuri scenes in this series and it is always great fun when she appears. Of course, there is not much Kana other than the occasional Onee-sama but it’s cute enough just to hear her voice. I do not have to reiterate to add that having low self esteem = moe logic anymore. It is as self-explainatory as my green haired gals are hot logic.

That said, I have a criticism of the show which is that there are way too many characters for any character development. I know it’s a comedy. I know that i am not supposed to watch too deeply for this show. However, I can still say what I feel can be improved since I feel that there are many characters that can have better development if it was expanded with more episodes. The show is still fine though and this episode is slightly on the more serious side.

One last thing is that I am glad that they did not drag this elder thing too long. It will be overly drama and all that. It doesn’t feel rushed too, which is a good thing.

Next episode seems to be about ghosts in the dorm. What would Mizuho do to tempt the ghost out?

hohoohh~

    Kana <! Yes, I’ll be glad if this series takes episodes like Ouran; not dealing with a strict plotline, but just having some fun romance/comedy/perversions/etc.

    hahaha, @turbo = it’s an anime silly :D

    hahahaha, kana is the cutest and most low self-esteem gal in anime for this series. Hah, i doubt there will be any proper plot and it seems to me to be merely wild fun for the whole time.

    Not that i mind with such an organization. It will rock nevertheless.
