THAT Animeblog

My thoughts exactly mein Feldwebe tell that Imperialist bastard what you think. Kampfgruppen Crusader supports any and all of your offensive operations.

So while waiting to see comrade Darkmirage’s vaunted workmanship for Gundam 00 I decided to check out Shugo Chara. I confess that I have taken a liking to Amu-chan. Hopefully this will be subbed with some regularity since the loli-con over tones that brought Moetan to a grinding halt are absent. Still I have high hopes and expectations for Feldwebel Amu failure will not be tolerated even if she is in the fifth grade…

I am very amused with the “cool and spicy” pigeon hole Amu-chan is in . However I am not so sure I want to see a kawaii Amu-chan in pink frilly garb. No I like her the way she is now, in fact I stood in awe as she told the “Prince” to bugger off. Her attitude about joining this Guardian Council thing was correct. That cape was atrocious they need to make it German field gray, and make jack boots mandatory. Still to have such a monstrous shadow about oneself is most admirable. If nothing else the rabble is scattered to the four winds by mere mention of her name. Even if she does get a bit emo and angsty at times Amu-chan does have a saving grace in over exaggerated SD. Also thank Haurhi-sama that she looks like a fifth grade kid albeit with an impeccable fashion sense. Had Amu-chan had a back breaking set of jubilees like some sort of genetic freak I would have already called it quits.

Spoken like a true king.

Even if Amu-chan wants to be a more girly person her charas are neither quiets or very lady like. Each one of them seems to be hyper active and over zealous. I wish Ran would wear something more dignified, since that skirt is way to short and the poms poms extraneous and useless. Then again I was never a fan of cheerleaders male or female for that matter. Haven’t seen or heard much from Su yet so I will refrain from pronouncing judgment even if my first impression is that Su is a bit on the stupid side. Miki is be best and I find her fashion sense to be perfect it also helps that she’s the blue one. Miki is also gloriously snarky. Still I hope that she does not follow the tenets of Socialist Realism. Even if they are a bit annoying at times I can never really hate the, they are just too cute. Making Amu-chan dance during transformation is very nice bonus though, its just so silly that Amu-chan would probably die if she ever saw it for herself. I love her transutable hair pin, bonus points if it ever changes to an Iron Cross.

What an adorable fire team.

Speaking of her transformation I approve of final attack and super sentai-esque hand motions. Though I am disappointed in the absence of transforming with either Su or Miki, not that Ran’s is atrocious or anything, but a bit of variation would be nice. I really don’t care if this ends up being a sort of enemy of the week deal as the Feldwebel Amu has earned my good graces. Besides I was most giddy when they used English as a weapon. I found the use of decent sentence structure to be impressive; the incorporation of a moderate overly wrought accent was most impressive. Cultural Imperialism at its finest, besides once Yuki arrives upon the blessed shores of America she will have her right to bear more lethal weapons. Also I hate licorice.

Most impressive Feldwebel Amu I see you are well versed in Mikuru tactics. The heart of Ikuto will soon be yours.

Amu-chan’s family is worthy of a hoot. Her dad is probably a certified loli-con. Best of all they buy into Amu-chan’s cool and spicy mystique, it is a wonder the poor girl turned out as sane as she is. Not sure if I should be creeped out that the dad was overjoyed to take a bath with Ami. I know that bathing is something special in Japan, but the dad just oozes loli-con. I like how Amu-chan already has a shouta fan. I hope the boy achives his dream of being Bill Gates and woo Amu-chan in the end. Though since this is most certainly mahou shoujo, money seldom if ever beats out love.

Speaking of love I admit that I was most disdainful of Prince Tadase. First he smacked down Amu-chan after her confession (albeit the confession was Ran induced). Secondly he seemed just too perfect and was stealing thunder from Amu-chan. My opinion of Tadase grew immensely when it was revealed that he wanted to take over the world. No goodie goodie cause here it is all just for the sake of Prince King Tadase ambitions. Even if Ikuto does not realize it yet, Amu-chan is going to demolish his feigned disinterest. I am willing to bet that by the end Ikuto will be broken and groveling before Amu-chan just to bask in her cool and spicy glory. The whole balcony scene made me question how kiddie this show is supposed to be. Nevertheless as much pure win and awesome as it was for Ikuto to play with Amu-chan’s ear I demand that he keep it civil and limited to verbal jabs and a possible kissu. She is in the fifth grade for bloody sake and I am sure that none of these kids has hit puberty. Besides Tadase leering at Amulet Heart was somewhat disturbing I hope his eyes did not wander far below her face while watching her fly.

Well I guess your wish for pink and frilly attire was granted by High Command. I approve of the hat and hair, combat effectiveness is over 9000.

Fujisaki was most impressive when going into psycho mode with Naginata. Kukai and Yaya are kind of out there, along with that loli-con stalker that is what I assume to be the seemingly incompetent teacher.

As for Amu-chan’s primary objectives, they are rather trite. Saving emo kids is okay though I would have preferred taking over of the world as envisioned by King Tadase. Still it is a decent enough responsibility for a fifth grade otome. Still I want to see Amu-chan earn the title of Hauptmann. Remember mein Feldwebel being cool and spicy is not dishonest, its being professional. Oh and about that egg that resides in all of us, mine was crushed and eaten as an omelet by my militarist self.

I see that the Amu-chan Beam is working perfectly an enemy squad just died from a kawaii overload.
