I can't believe I just spent some good hours deleting all of the spams from my blog. Sometimes I wish I can grab those spammers by their neck and force-feed them those pills that they advertise so often. Having said that, this forced me to accept that it's about time I update my blogging software. It's been a while since I do that. The thing is, updating your blog is a long-winded and difficult process. That's why I've been holding off on doing it. Anyway, moving along, this episode is actually pretty good. It moves a lot of Fuko-related issues in one go. The lack of comedy doesn't actually bother me because at least we get some kind of progress in terms of storyline. I think the main thing that bothers me so far was the lack of progress and this episode is a change in the right direction. Anyway, I'm sorry for the very short summary. I figured most people have already seen the episode anyway so there's no point to tread over it again.

I'm so bored. I've tried to watch more anime but for some reason nothing really excites me. I think I miss my shoujo fix. Not just any shoujo but a good shoujo like Honey and Clover (yeah, I know technically it's not shoujo) and Ouran High School Host Club. These days, there's nothing that make me want to sit up and write something as soon as possible. This series itself is okay and quite fun to watch but I really do struggle trying to find something to say about the series. This is kind of weird since I didn't have any problem figuring out what to say about Kanon. Oh well, I guess less blogging gives me more time to socialise and learn few new skills that I've been wanting to learn but it feels weird losing interest like this. BTW, what was the joke behind that send off of "X" at the start of the episode? I really didn't get it.

The funnies continue in this episode, which is a good thing for me because it balances all of the fluffy and sweet parts. I actually couldn't believe that the joke even go down there to the futanari level. But it was funny and entertaining to watch. This episode is also the first episode where the focus shifts from the relationship between Nagisa and Tomoya to the mystery behind Fuko's condition. Personally though, of all the girls, Fuko is the one that annoys me the most. On the positive side, it's refreshing to know that one of the lead girls has no potential to be Tomoya's love interest. After all, the writers could have made a harem out of every single girls but they decide that not everyone has to be attracted to Tomoya. Nagisa and Ryou seem to be the only girls who are attracted to Tomoya while the others seem to have little to no interest in him.
