Nogizaka Haruka, Episode 12 (END)- Final Thoughts and Impressions

My coverage of this series obviously dropped a couple of weeks ago. Due to a combination of the plot sucking, a new job, and me being slightly burnt out from doing Geass (this show gets released the day of or the next day after geass it seems) made me not cover a couple of episodes. However, I’d at least like to give my final thoughts on the show after some quick comments on the last couple of episodes.

Lucky man
This week is a lolicon’s dream Mika centered episode, the only one we’ve had so far. Mika decides to get some references on dating for herself and try to push Yuuto and Haruka’s relationship along by taking him along on a date and “instructing” him on what to do.
Nogizaka Haruka, Episode 7- I Am Man, Hear Me Roar

I like where this man’s fantasies are going.
Continuing directly from last week, the scary looking guy from last week was following Haruka on behalf of her dad, and he found all of her Comiket goods as well. So Haruka runs away from home and stays with Yuuto for a day, until the house gets raided by daddy and his SPs. Yuuto proceeds to grab his sack and man-up, rawr.

What happens in Comiket, stays in Comiket
It’s the Comiket episode! It comes complete with porn, yaoi porn, cosplay, rabid otakus, and massive lines. But because it’s this show, we also get the maids and imoutou of the year tagging along, with a healthy serving of hugging and blushing for dessert.

I am not a lolicon
Another awesome episode of breaking cliches while staying in the genre. They even waited until the fifth episode to do a swimsuit episode, and it wasn’t even at the beach! And of course, Mika had on a sexier swimsuit than Haruka and Shiina, this show is trying to turn me lolicon. There was some stupid plot here about teaching Shiina how to swim, but it was pretty forgettable, focus on the funny instead.

EPISODE FOUR, JESUS
Of course it was a misunderstanding that created the above image, but still these guys continue to move lightning fast in their relationship. This episode’s premise is that Hazuki has been looking down and they all decide to follow her to see what’s up. Also in this episode I try not to be aroused by the loli in lingerie but fail in the attempt.

Preface: Go Read Chuchlann’s Blog
Thanks to Chuchlann’s recent writings on Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu I decided to watch the first three episodes – and what a good decision that was. Skipping to the second and third episodes, the “depth” (buzzword) of what was being said was strikingly profound – but more importantly, to whom it was being said. Having spammed the living hell out of IKnight’s condensed theory of moe (as you’ve probably read it anyway), there was one largely relevant part where he brings up the imagined community of otakudom.
