As we all know, Mei is a wonderful and intelligent tsundere that knows a lot. Yes, even though she does not look imposing on the physical, she is perhaps much better in playing human baseball compared to the “Sharpshooter Mutsuki”. As we all know, the sharpshooter Mutsuki has proven her worth in softball and imparted her skills to Mei.

Let’s discover the joy of human baseball.

Happy loving on the lovely pictures and grab the full-size images using the download link provided! I personally thought that the Hidamari Sketch one is decent until I found the Kotono and Natsumi wallpaper. That one really blew me off and I swear that if Saint October had that kind of budget, it will have one hundred times more rabid fans. Kotono is total cuteness epitomized.

You made Mika cry. The cicadas are also crying. Can you hear it?

Watching Episode 7 makes me feel reminiscent on a series that I adore in the initial stages, namely “Higurashi no Naku Koro ni”. There are in fact signs that all these characters are in fact pseudo killer lolis rather than the innocent beings that we know of them. Psuedo is the word since both series have loli-looking characters that are in fact not loli at all.

Do you already sense the deathly similarities among the two series?

The blood is waiting for you soon…

I was wondering the previous day when Manabi Straight will actually go into some form of fanservice. When I started thinking about it, Episode 6 came and fulfilled that prophecy. I generally do not really think too much about fanservice, but the ultimate loli appearance and the innocent/subtle style of fanservice just makes it wholly disturbing. I guess the wild thoughts of an external being has introduced perverse thoughts in my mind and created an entity of disturbing speculations.

You do not believe me? Check it out yourself and try to keep a clean slate of mind when viewing.

:3-tan will be absolutely delighted that Engrish is completely displayed in its full glory in Episode 5. I initially wanted to do a detailed analysis on the message that Mei (voiced by Aya Hirano) was saying at the start of this episode but found it impossible to understand what she is trying to say. However, that is not the best thing after watching Episode 5. It is the fact that I realize Chinese fansubbers cannot write English well. I cannot blame them though, since I cannot even decipher the Engrish provided. Still, it is a little appalling.

Please see the information provided below and be astoundingly amazed how good they are at the ability of Engrish.

Note: In the following screenshots, the english is from the Chinese sub. I have to warn since something like this came through when I let Lupus take a look at it before it is posted.

[Lupus-sol] oh gosh hahaha
[Lupus-sol] wtf
[Lupus-sol] is that your translation
[Lupus-sol] or the Chinese subber’s translation?
[Lupus-sol] the English on the screenshots
[impz] NO
[impz] IT’S NOT MINE
[impz] it’s the chinese sub’s translation
[impz] ..i think i have to emphasize that

Technically, this picture of Mei will be classified under a “loli fanservice” tag due to the fact that they look something like 12-13. Right?

Wrong.

(And I am still in disbelief…)

Today, we will explain why being a tsundere is not exactly the best thing to do in a loli-infused series (or chibi under rOr’s definition). Mei will be our example here as we exhibit three cases of why being a tsundere is not good.

Yes, this is a post about a pseudo-tsundere.

No, this is not an entry to indirectly diss Haruhi Suzumiya, the goddess.

Yes, this is as usual a parody entry.
