Time for I.D.A (Impzie’s Destructive analysis) once again!

All right, this will suffice for a quick thought and roll for Sumomomo momomo~, Asatte no Houkou and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge. To add, I cannot believe how I forgot all about Kiniro no Chord. I only realize I forgot about this anime yesterday and caught up with it. I will not blog the previous six entries but I will go straight with episode 7. It might also be an active entry (aka standalone) if I can afford the time.

Onwards, my good clones! Summarize and review!

1. Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge Episode 7

Summary

Episode 7 deals with a new gangster that is hunting down Kyouhei to become the strongest person in the school. He came to school to mess up, only to fall in love with Sunako (nice choice, gangsta). Eventually, in an attempt to get Sunako, he sent his two lackeys to observe Sunako, only to see her sunbathing her dolls and the likes. They then escaped, only to tag along Hiro. Sunako gave chase, only to be trapped by the gangsters as they held Hiro captive.

The rest of the gang less Kyouhei decided to help but was captured. Kyouhei saved the day but as they pinned Sunako down, Kyouhei was unable to fight back. The inevitable came as Sunako went on berserk mode seeing her precious Kyouhei bashed up for her as she went for a triple flip suplex on the gangster.

Thoughts

Interesting episode that is much better than episode 5 and 6 at least in the laugh section. I find that the theme of each episode is very standard. They get into a situation, they messed up, Kyouhei saves the day, Sunako saves Kyouhei. I am not complaining since I laughed, but it feels almost like a good premise wasted.

2. Asatte no Houkou Episode 7

Summary

It is Hiro’s 28th birthday as Hiro forgot about it once again. Shouko reminisced about how he always forgot his birthday and she had in fact tried to make a roast chicken that turned to a charcoal chicken instead. She then threw it away, inviting him for a treat outside but always disappointed. Karada then suggested that they would make a cake for him as they went out, buying a recipe book and then the ingredients for the cake. As they finally got everything, they went to Shouko’s apartment, as Shouko unpacked some of her goods, as well as some books that she could bring back to Hiro’s house.

They then went on to bake the cake, with Shouko being completely unhelpful in doing the chores. Eventually, it was done, with some improvising from Karada, as they waited for Hiro to be back. At night, Hiro went out to buy cigarettes, as Shouko tagged along. Karada, being alone, finally saw the picture of Hiro and Shouko together stacked in one of the books that Shouko brought from her house. The next day, Karada was not around.

Thoughts

I do not understand why Karada left. Did she feel bad that she’s imposing and the reason why Hiro and Shouko broke up? Anyway, this episode continues on slowly but it definitely does wonders because of the idyllic style of story telling. I am really enjoying this series and the only reason why I am not making a full entry for this is because there are a lot of people blogging this and I will like to reserve my time to anime less touched. Still, this is understandably one of the best series out there right now. You can’t go wrong watching this.

3. Sumomomo momomo~ Episode 7

Summary

They finally got the truth out from the Tiger guy that there was a war going on. As Koushi’s father explained, there were two factions in the north and south. In order to stop the infighting, they paired up Momoko and Koushi to relieve any conflict. However, there were resentment in the camps as they sent assassins to attack them, in order to start a new war. Koushi was then more sympathetic and was blushing when he was with Momoko alone. He then convinced himself that he should simply concentrate on his work and not bother about this.

At school, he was leaving school with Sanae. When Momoko asked him to go home together and that she would protect him, he called her a nuisance and left with Sanae. They then met up with some bullies and Sanae was punched on the face while defending him. He then picked himself up as he remembered how annoyed he was to be a coward and powerless. He fought the bullies but lost badly. Still, he felt good. As he reached home with wounds and the likes, Momoko was very worried and wanted to put some dressing on his wounds but eventually withdrew because she remembered how Koushi called her a nuisance. Koushi felt bad as he called her back to help her, with their relationship developing of sorts.

Thoughts

This episode has slightly less laughter but there is some good character development. I admit that I find Momoko slightly annoying at the start but she has gained my favor to be the proper pairing. She is the only one that stayed with Koushi all the way, never complaining even though she is abused so badly. Sanae is more like someone that Koushi wanted to talk to normally but it seems more like a crush. Inoha, even though I love her, is not possible because she feels more like a imouto. She’s still darn sexy though.

4. Kiniro No Corda Episode 7

Summary

Hino was still disturbed after the close proximity encounter with Hihata, as she was unable to concentrate with her violin practice. However, she was taken away by the teacher to do some grocery shopping with Shimizu and Fuyuumi. At the house, Tsukimori completely messed up with heating food using a microwave and Ryou had to do some fried rice for them. Hihata also accidently drunk Hino’s drink. When they got back, Hihata tried to explain it but eventually flee the scene as we know a bit about Tsukimori’s mother being famous. At night, Hino was practicing her violin and Hino joined in to play a beautiful duet.

As they returned home, they had the second test with the theme being “trust”. The reporter was chasing Tsukimori all around the place, asking him for quotes as well as the news that his mother was going to listen to his recital in the concorde. He avoided the reporter various times. Hino was practicing in one of the rooms and was about to leave when Tsukimori suddenly charged in, covering her mouth in order to escape from the reporter. He then chased her away as she felt herself blushing and her heart rapidly beating. She then realized that his hand was cool to the touch and it seemed that he was with a fever. As she wanted to get help, he held her hand as he fell asleep, with his body lying toward her.

Thoughts

This is pretty interesting to say the very least. It seems that Tsukimori suffers from an inferiority complex toward his parents due to the pressure created by his talented elders. It is quite nice to see some weakness in him, rather than simply the harsh and cool person that he is. It is always nice to see Hino’s various strange face expressions too and I am wondering what kind of music she will play next. Fun, fun, fun!
