With the help of a plicky orphan, it's up to Cacao and Parfait to stop Lamunes from taking over the world. 



How it is.....


      This show was bad, really, really bad.  The only thing saving it from an F grade is the fact that I've always been strangely addicted to the opening song. This wasn't the first time I watched this, but I must have blocked it from my mind from back when I was a teenager....  it is really THAT bad.
      Apparently the actual name for this part of the show, which is an OVA Series is VS Knight Lamune & 40 Fresh.  Yea, that doesn't sound stupid at all.  Meh.
     I'll be honest, this show completely and utterly confused me.  I won't even try to go into the show, there was basically nothing to explain anything besides the fact the two chicks who were naked quite a bit were virgin preistess for some psychopath that was trolling around the universe in a spaceship doing bad shit.  Oh, there was an insane robot woman that helped the crazy man as well...
   There was also some random orphan, captive, something or other that Parfait and Cocao picked up named Lemon that ended up being Lamune too or something... it was all screwed up and really the show was just made for Fanservice.
    Oh!  This was also one of the few shows that the voice actors really sucked for both... English and Japanese, it was as though they weren't even trying.  These OVAs should have never been released!

    Apparently there is a TV Show for this series as well, was made long,long before this piece of crap OVA. It was never licensed and really, I doubt I could find it... but if I feel bored sometimes maybe I will go poking around for it.

Summary:  {From MAL} Having a light novel author father and an eroge illustrator mother, Kanou Shinichi is a thoroughbred otaku. However he does not have any special power except for his broad knowledge, sharp insight, and impeccable instinct about "MOE" and its products, from manga to anime to games to light novel to figures. One day he found himself transported to a fantasy world where elves live and dragons fly. And he is given a task—not to fight monster or embark on a quest, but to enhance cultural exchange by becoming a "moe missionary" in this fantasy world! He meets a palace guard who has a bit of fujoshi taste, a half-elf maid, and the empress who is a little girl. He comes up with the idea of building a school. At first it runs as a comedy but later there are serious matters that Shinichi needs to face: ethnic discrimination, social problems, conflict with neighboring countries, sabotage by opposition elements including Japanese government, etc. Can he overcome the obstacles, successfully bring "moe" culture to the fantasy world, and help the people there as well?


Thoughts:  Although this show was fairly entertaining, it was incredibly stupid. The Japanese government is trying to make relations with an alternate dimension in which they accidentally found a "portal" to off in the middle of nowhere. Their idea?
     To send an Otaku to the new world and have him introduce them to Anime/Manga/Games as entertainment. This will show the people of this world that the Japanese are good and...yaddayadda.
    The idea of it is ridiculous and the twist at the end is just as much so.... Lets face it. Most the people over in this new world are exactly what the characters in the Anime/Manga are like so..yea..

Who we have...


Shinichi Kanou - The main character, at the beginning of the show he fills out an application of sorts for a job somewhere in Akihabara. Instead, he's hired and abducted by the government to act as a liaison or sorts between the Japanese and the parallel universe that they so happened up on.
     His job?   To spread the Otaku Culture through these new magic filled lands populated with elves, dwarfs, dragons and such.  He gets a sweet mansion to live in and his own lovely half elven maid, the government will supply him with whatever anime/manga/games he needs..  What do they say though?  When it's too good to be true, it probably is.
      He befriends many of the new worlds residents while teaching the Otaku lifestyle, mainly females of course with a male thrown in here and there.

Minori Koganuma-  A member of the Japanese Military, her job is to help Shinichi with his task to spread the Otaku Culture.  She too is a bit of an Otaku,  she's a YAOI Fangirl who seems to be trying to get Shinichi and Galious together.
        Once the actual plan the government has is revealed she takes Shinichi's side in things, risking her own life since she too has no one back in Japan that would miss her if something should happen.

Petralka Anne Eldante III -  The young {16} Empress of the Eldant Empire, she looks and acts much younger then she actually is and that her rank requires. Somehow she's the Empress though, she gained the Throne at such a young age because her parents and uncle killed one another to get the Throne.
      She's quite curious about the Otaku culture and Shinichi in general, seemingly having a crush on him she gets jealous of Myucel  frequently and attempts to out do her in learning Japanese.

Myucel Foaran - Shinichi's half elven maid, she's extremely skilled with offensive magic which can be seen a couple times during the series.  She can't read/write so Shinichi teachers her Japanese that she may read the Manga and speak the language.
      She too falls in love with Shinichi, since he treats her as an equal unlike basically everyone else.

Elvia Hanhaiman-  She's a werewolf and a great artist, Shinichi takes her in as his personal artist after she's caught "spying" on the Eldant Empire.

Galious En Koldobar -   Petralka's cousin, at first he's against allowing Shinichi to teach the Otaku Culture to the people but... Minori introduces him to BL Manga and he's taken quite a liking to it...  and Shinichi.  Everyone loves Shinichi!










The End:  This is where it gets pretty stupid, the reason that the military wanted the Otaku culture to be spread around Eldant is that it may control it's citizens. Once Shinichi gets them hooked, the Japanese military could start holding back on the product until their demands were met.
         Dumb.
  Shinichi is disgusted by this and falls into a depression until Myucel pulls him out of it and he comes up with a solution.  Eldants people can start making their own Entertainment!  This pisses the Military off to no end and they attempt to have Shinichi killed.
     He brings the plans to the Petralka's attention and they, her advisers and such come up with a plan that allows him to continue teaching the Otaku culture with the Japanese governments help.  Something on the terms of you help us, we'll help you and stuff.
    The show was stupid, but entertaining.

Super Maids! The Empress Guards.

How:  Fansub

Rating:  2.5 out of 5

Summary:  {from mal} Oreki Houtarou is a minimalistic high school boy. One day, he joins the Classic Literature Club at his elder sister's request.

There he meets Chitanda Eru, Fukube Satoshi, and Ibara Mayaka. Chitanda is a calm beautiful girl but she turns into an embodiment of curiosity once she says, "I'm interested in it (Watashi, Kininarimasu)". Fukube is a smiling boy with a fantastic memory who calls himself a database. Ibara is a short girl and is strict with others and herself. She loves Fukube, but he always dodges her approaches.They begin to investigate a case that occurred 45 years ago. Hints of the mystery are buried in an old collection of works of the former members of Classics Club. The collection is titled "Hyouka."



Thoughts:  This show nearly bored me to death for the first six episodes, Episode seven is where it started to climb out of the pits of mediocrity into something much more entertaining to me. Until episode eighteen that is, That's where it got back into it's "meh" stage but still...
        In the end it was all over the place, I was never sure what to expect after each little mystery ended. Some of the mysteries were just simple others were quite entertaining and took some thought to figure out. It was an "Okay" little show...


Who we have....


Houtarou Oreki -  The "Main Character".  His quest in life so far is to "save energy", Doing the least amount of work he possibly can and still survive High School.  Of course this quest is his is destined to fail now that he's met Chitanda.
     He's amazingly good as putting things together, he's perceptive. Every little mystery that has met the group he has solved one way or another and with seemingly little trouble. It wasn't quite said in the series but, It was pretty obvious that he holds some sort of attraction to Chitanda.
     The only reason he joined the Classics Club is because his older sister {who was also a member of the club at one time} asked him to in order to prevent it from being abolished.

Satoshi Fukube - The "Best Friend", His memory is amazing and is a natural database of random stuff.. He's a bit of a Sherlock Holmes fanatic and really seems jealous of how easy it is for Oreki to figure mysteries out.
       He's a bit of a jerk, At least to Mayaka. He use to become obsessed about stuff and is attempting to be more laid back.... Bleh.

Eru Chitanda -  The "Main Characters Love Interest".  She's curious about everything, Even tiny things that make you want to reach into the screen, slap her and scream "who cares!".  I guess she's a bit on the cute side, Oreki can't seem to say "No" to anything she wants but really....
      Anyways, She's the only daughter of one of the four remaining wealthy farming families. She joined the Classics Club basically to figure out what happened to her Uncle 45 years ago. Since the Club had basically no members in the beginning, Chitanda was given the spot as Club President.

Mayaka Ibara - The "Girl with the unrequited Crush", Last to join the Club I kind of figure she only does it because of her feelings towards Satoshi. She's also a member of the Manga Club and works in the Library, People in the Manga Club really seem to be hard on her.... At least certain ones.
    Anyways, She went to the same Middle School as Fukube and Oreki... Apparently they were all friendly but she and Oreki really don't seem to get along.
    Oddly, I probably liked her the most... I never wanted to smack her or anything and I actually felt bad for her when the Manga Club girls picked on her and Fukube was just a jackass to her at Valentines Day.



Favorite Character{s}:    Oreki - I liked his energy saving attitude, The fact he obviously had a thing for Chitanda was rather cute. He couldn't say "No" to her no matter what...

Least Favorite Character{s}:  Satoshi - He was just a jerk, a jealous... irritating jerk.

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha

Episodes:  13

How: Netflix Rental

Rating:  2.5 out of 5

Plot: {From Wiki} The storyline follows Nanoha Takamachi, a nine-year-old Japanese girl attending elementary school, who lives with her parents and her older siblings. Nanoha's regular everyday life ends when she rescues an injured ferret who reveals himself as a young shape shifting mage namedYuno Scrya. An archaeologist from a parallel universe, Yuno came to Earth to collect a set of twenty-one dangerous ancient artifacts named the "Jewel Seeds" (Jueru Shido?) that he first discovered in his own world. Jewel Seeds give living beings who come into contact with them unnatural powers, often turning them into monsters, and Yuno, injured while trying to collect them, must now rely on Nanoha while he convalesces in ferret form. He gives Nanoha an "intelligent device" (magical wand) called "Raging Heart" ( Reijingu Hato?), and she unexpectedly shows strong aptitude for magic. As the two gather the Jewel Seeds, Nanoha learns magic from Yuno while continuing with her ordinary everyday life.

In retrieving her sixth Jewel Seed, Nanoha encounters another mage named Fate Testarossa and her familiar named Arf. More than a year before the story began, Fate's mother, Precia Testarossa, went insane when her daughter Alicia died, initiating "Project Fate", an illegal research program of cloning and resurrection, making her a fugitive from the inter dimensional police known as Time-Space Administration Bureau (TSAB). Precia cloned Alicia to create Fate and implanted her with Alicia's memories; nevertheless, she cannot care for Fate as she did for Alicia and abuses her regularly. Despite this, Fate is extremely loyal to her due to Alicia's happy childhood memories, which she takes as her own. In the series, Precia uses Fate to collect Jewel Seeds and reach Al Hazard, a mythical world where Alicia could be truly brought back to life.
Nanoha and Fate repeatedly face off against each other over each new Jewel Seed they find, and the TSAB soon interferes to prevent the collateral damage caused by their battles. Nanoha eventually manages to overpower Fate and brings her to the TSAB, prompting Precia to abandon her and attempt a dimensional jump to Al Hazard with the power of the few Jewel Seeds that Fate managed to gather thus far. Gathering her resolve, Fate decides to aid the TSAB and Nanoha in their fight to stop Precia. Although they manage to minimize the destructive side effects of using the Jewel Seeds, they fail to prevent Precia from finishing the spell, and her final whereabouts are unknown. Fate and Nanoha decide to become friends, but Fate must first travel to TSAB home world to prove she was an unwilling accessory in Precia's crimes.


Thoughts:  This series wasn't that great, From the first season I am not really sure why people talk so highly of it... In the beginning it seemed like any other Magical Girl series. Girl gets powers, Girl fights monsters but then a Spaceship comes into things.....  I'm just glad there wasn't any giant robots then I would have had to drop the series.


Who we have....

Yuuno Scrya:  He may be a mage too but he's a bit useless most the time, Sure he has some support abilities but in most cases all he seems to be able to do is watch Nanoha and worry.

Nanoha Takamachi:  Really naive but in a sweet way, The way she wanted to talk things out with Fate the entire time they were fighting was..... cute.  Of course she's a nine year old and new to the whole magical world...  At least she is likable.

Fate Testarossa:  A clone, She's a clone.... Okay.  Her mother had a few screws loose, I wish there was more information given about her {Precia} and Alicia.  How much she loved her mother to how much her mother hated her was just...sad.
     
Arf:  Fate's Familiar, Protective of Fate just like a puppy.  Well, I guess she is a puppy... sort of.

Chrono Harlaown:  At age 14, He's an Officer with the Time Space Administration Bureau.  At first I thought maybe there would be a little romance between he and Nanoha but.... erm... Nah.
       A little peculiar that his commanding officer is his mother.


Favorite Character{s}:   Arisa and Suzuka ~  Nanoha's human friends from school, They don't  get enough screen time and I was kind of wishing they turned out to have magical abilities as well. No such luck yet....

Least Favorite Character{s}:  Yuuno ~  He's cute in his ferret form but..... Yea. Pretty useless so far and why must he look like a little girl.  :(

Overview: {From MAL} Taito has been really sleepy lately, and keeps dreaming of a female vampire who says she has given him her "poison." Sometimes he even thinks he hears her voice when he's awake. But after surviving an accident that should have killed him, Taito's world changes drastically and he realizes that his dreams are more real than he thought.


Thoughts: Taito! Himea! Taito! Himea! Uhg.  Up until Episode 6 this show was pretty painful to watch.  I had to stop myself from deleting the series from my hard drive multiple times....
      What kept me going?  Curiousity.  I wanted to see how it ended and now I am semi-glad I did.  It certainly needs a second season.  Nothing was really solved, Taito still has two women after him and the bad guys are still running around.
     Guess you can't expect a lot from a 12 episode series that has a Manga that's still going but.... Damn!  What did Taito loose when he made the deal with Edeluca in episode seven?  At first I thought it was his feelings for Haruka but...Nope.  He still seemed all worried about her. Grrr... Anyways..

{Characters and Stuff}

Taito Kurogane: It begins with a dream, Taito dreaming of a unknown girl he met when he was just a little boy. She bit him and injected him with her "poison" that has cursed him so that he will be by her side forever...
        It wasn't a dream, Go figure.  While saving a girl{Mirai} from being hit by a truck he looses his head.... Litterally.  His body gets up off the ground, picks up his talking head and runs off with it right in front of the girl {Mirai} which gains him the nickname of Immortal-Kun.
        His memories comes back, He rushes to the last spot that he remembers seeing Himea and she returns to him... Tada!
        He's only somewhat immortal, He can die six times... On his seventh death he will be really dead.  This resets every 15 minutes, I'm still not sure if it's 15 minutes from his first death or 15 from his last death but that's just another question...
       Throughout the series he's trying to get stronger to protect Himea, I guess he sort of does get stronger but by the end he's still pretty useless other then for a meat shield.

Himea Saito:  She's a Vampire Witch, She meets Taito when he's just a young boy and falls in love with him... putting a curse on him to make it where he can stay with her forever they are soon torn apart by a strange boy {Hinata} and she is sealed away.
        After breaking free, She's reunited with Taito {TaitoTaitoTaito} and Hinata pops back up to seal her away/take her again... Fight ensues more people show up and Taito ends up completely dead.
       Later in the series it's revealed that Himea takes the dead Taito to Edeluca for him to be revived, She grants wishes then takes something of equal value in exchange. What did she take?  A good portion of Himea's powers.
       Lots of people are after her, Want to use her, kill her or seal her up. She's really quite annoying and is jealous of Taito's friendship with Haruka, She's good at playing damsel in distress even though she's supposed to be powerful {even with the powers taken} and it seems she may actually be the Ancient Sorceress that goes insane from loneliness and destroys the planet...

Gekkou Kurenai: President of the Student Council of Miyasaka High, Monster Killer, Twin of a crazy psycho and all around jackass with a giant ego. Well, Maybe he's not that big of an ass but he certainly isn't that likable {most the time}.
        Nine years ago his twin brother Hinata sacrificed their parents for power, Sense then Gekkou has sought out power of his own and has now been trained in exorcism, possesses an ancient sword known as Spell Error and is the Master of Mirai.
       He's quite useful, Yet his ego certainly gets in the way and he's nowhere near as powerful as he thinks he is.

Mirai Andou: A cute, playful yet probably more dangerous then she seems demon that was sent to kill Gekkou by Hinata.  It didn't work, Gekkou ended up defeating her and forcing her into a contract...
        She can't use her powers unless Gekkou kisses her and she's normally just a clueless little girl.  When activated her powers are lightning based, Apparently she is supposed to be a super powerful demon type but... meh.
      Seems she does have some love for her master, seeing she gets so flustered when he ignores her and such..

Izumi Aomi:An ordinary human... She joins the student council out of boredom? Curiosity?


So, I need to get to the end of this...  The series is really unfinished, Taito's "friend"  Haruka ends up getting kidnapped by two demons who want to trade her for Himea.
    Seems Haruka isn't quite human either, She has{or had?} some sort of split personality that was watching Taito. The two demons {Serge and Hasga} end up "sealing" the second personality so that Haruka may live on and pursue Taito.
     A love triangle with a clueless guy in the middle. It ends with Taito saving the day.... Sort of.  Serge and Hasga end up becoming members of the student council and going to Taito's school and... Yea.... Unfinished.


Favorite Episode{s} ;  Episode 6  ~  Mirai's "date" with Gekkou.
                                          Episode 12 ~ Hot springs, Everyone together!

Least Favorite Episode{s};  Episodes 2 thru 5 ~ Uhg.


Favorite Character{s};     Izumi Aomi ~ I like her attitude the most.
Least Favorite Character{s}:
                                      Himea ~ She's irritating, clingy and TaitoTaitoTaito.

Rideback

Episodes: 12

How:  Netflix

Rating: 2.5 out of 5

Summary: {From MAL} Ride Back is about a girl who is the daughter of a famous dancer. During one of her performances she falls and then quits her dancing career. Some time later when she joins the Theatrical Academy, she finds out about a Ride Back club and then rides the bike to waste some time because of the very rainy weather outside. But something is wrong with the bike and she loses control. While trying to stop she finds out that the bike responds to her movements. She is able to sort of dance with the bike and gets inspired by it.


Thoughts:  I was reluctant to try this show, Thinking it was just going to be about an ex-ballet dancer who finds a new hobby in motorcycle racing while strange political crap is happening in the background. The first few episodes met this assumption head on but then came episode four.... Rin uses Fuego to save her best friend from a Terrorist attack/hostage situation/crazy militant action at the mall.
       This turns the idea of a racing show into a chaotic government, terrorist crazy show.  That wasn't the greatest explanation but, The end has me wondering if I would have liked it more if it had stayed a racing show with some government battling in the background...


The End:  It's a happy ever after type end, Other then the chick that got killed by the military when they thought she was Rin.....  The terrorist leader kills his ex-buddy currently crazy military leader and then vanishes off into the day {So, I didn't notice if he died or ran off}, Rin's brother is no longer being charged with murder and everyone seems... happy.

Summary: {From MAL} Yurie Hitotsubashi was just an average middle school student living in the city of Onomichi on Japan's inland sea in the easygoing times of the 1980s. She spent her days worrying about exams and trying to get Kenji, the clueless boy she likes, to notice her. Then during lunch one day she suddenly announces to her friend Mitsue that the night before she had become a goddess. Their classmate Matsuri quickly latches on to Yurie's newfound divinity as a way to promote her family's bankrupt Shinto shrine. She hopes that replacing their hapless local god, Yashima-sama, with Yurie will make the shrine more popular (and profitable). Now, with Matsuri as her manager, Yurie has to grant wishes, cure curses, meet aliens, and attend god conventions. All the while attending school and working-up the courage to confess to Kenji.




Thoughts:  This was pretty rough to continue with, I'm not exactly sure why other then the fact it was a little on the boring side. Maybe it was because I was watching Strawberry Marshmallow at the same time and really.... compared to that it was just terrible.
      The show is a slice of life, I keep getting bombarded by these shows lately and really.... some just suck. I won't say this one sucks but it really doesn't have a huge Yey!! Factor for me.  The best thing about the show are the little creatures that Yurie can see...

Who we have...

Yurie Hitotsubashi -  She's the girl who became a god....somehow.  It's never explained just how she became one but, She's a god!  Through the series she talks to aliens, ships and all sort of other creatures, She's not entirely sure what she is the god of ... maybe it's naivety?

Matsuri Saegusa - She runs a Shrine and she use to be able to see spirits and such but, She apparently grew out of it or something.   She's a really irritating character who likes to use Yurie... even though somewhere deep down she does care about the Girl God.

Mitsue Shijo -  Yurie's best friend even before she became a "God", She's down to earth and seems to have what's best for Yurie in mind more so then Matsuri.   The God Yashima likes to possess her body so that he may communicate with others or so he can play music.

Yashima -  He's the God at the Raifuku Shrine that Matsuri's family runs, He was a real let down to me... I thought he was going to be a cool god by the way he looks but he's kind of a.... dork?  I don't know what to call it but.. Nope, Don't like him.
      He does give Yurie advice from time to time.

Tama Hitotsubashi -  Yurie's cat, Currently home to the Poverty God.  Tama ran away in one episode and was in the process of killing herself when the Poverty God "saved" her.   Yurie drove her cat to suicide..
     Anyways, With the Poverty God in her she acts a lot like a human... walking on two feet and such.  She really freaks out Yurie's brother when she's not careful to act like a normal cat.


Shoukichi  Hitotsubashi -  Yurie's little brother, He's more mature then his older sister and has a massive crush on Matsuri's younger sister Miko.  The two of them even run away together in one episode...

Miko Saegusa - Matsuri's sister, She can still see Yashima and seems to have a crush on the God.  She gets jealous and runs away from home {with Shoukichi} when she finds out that Yashima may have a bit of a crush on her sister {who can't see him anymore}.

Favorite Character{s}-  Shoukichi and Miko,  They weren't even main characters but I just found them both far more likable then the others.  This doesn't happen often...

Least Favorite Character{s}-  Pretty much everyone else.


Tidbit;   Apparently, The Show was just 12 Episodes during it's Airtime, The other 4 Episodes were on the DVDs.  When it was released in the US it was just all 16 Episodes with no word of some of them being "Specials".

 I really did half ass this write up.  Why?  Because I really did not like the show I just trudged my way through it for the hell of it.  I did get through it though!

Mushi-Uta

Episodes:   12

How:  Crunchy

Rating:  2 out of 5

Summary: {From Wiki} Mushi-Uta's story takes place in the near future. Ten years before the story's opening, strange insect-like creatures known as "Mushi" began appearing. The Mushi are able to consume people's dreams and thoughts in return for supernatural powers. At the end of episode one, protagonist Daisuke "Kakko" Kusuriya encounters a young girl named Shiika Anmoto. The two, in time, become quite close. However, unbeknownst to Kakko, Shiika is an escapee from a secret prison known as GARDEN where those possessed by the Mushi, known as the Mushitsuki, are held. GARDEN's military force, the Special Environmental Conservation Executive Office, dispatches its finest killer to track down Shiika. However, they are faced with resistance from the Mushibane resistance organisation, led by the secretive "Ladybug".


Thoughts: That was a most unsatisfying ending....

The show is a basic Good Organization Vs Bad Organization with a couple little twists thrown in.

 The SEPB Vs The Mushibane.

Which one is the good one?  It really depends on how you look at it.
     You have the SEPB which is made up heavily of Hosts, going around and killing the insects of other Hosts. On the death of their insects the Hosts become zombie slaves {Fallen}.... they have no emotions, free will or memories of any kind.
     However, If left be the Insects will slowly eat the dreams of their host and then "Mature"... Maturity kills the host and pretty much turns them into a monstrous creature.
     The Mushibane really seem to just not fully understand what the Insects are doing... Having strange pipe dreams that Hosts and Normal people could live together in harmony. Wishful thinking of the uninformed...

Who we have...

Daisuke Kusuriya; Codename Kakkou.  The "good guy".... Sorta. He works for the SEPB in rounding up other "Hosts" and taking them to the "GARDEN" {a prison of sorts.}. Taking the guise of a student he enters a High School in search of the leader of the Mushibane.

Rina Tachibana; Codename Lady. She's the leader of the Mushibane. Seemingly a normal High School Student, She has friends...She paints... She gets crushes... On Daisuke.  >_>

Shiika Anmoto; Codename Winter Firefly. The only Fallen to have their insect brought back and only person to have ever escaped from the GARDEN.  Four years before the story begins Kakkou kills her insect... She's a very powerful Host, Possibly the most.
       Happening by Daisuke one day who instantly falls for her, not remembering her from years earlier. She also saves the Mushibane from the SEPB {it's not shown though} and ends up living with Rina/Lady.
       Love Triangle.

Keigo Haji; Leader of the Local SEPB Branch. Pretty much an ass the entire show but... has a soft side it seems.  He has a younger sister that lives by eating his dreams....

The Original Three; Not really touched on a lot but, It seems they are the reason the Mushi exist. As shown at least one of the three can blend in well with Humans, It's Rina and Daisuke's Homeroom Teacher.

The Devourer; One of the original three and Daisuke's Homeroom Teacher. She's the one who brought Shiika's Insect back and helped her escape from GARDEN. Wanting to allow the insect to mature so that she could eat her dream....


The End;  Shiika looking for Rina runs first into the Devourer who plays the reveal game, Then saved by Cicada {I forgot her name} who also plays the reveal game {She loves Haji}and attacks Shiika. Cicada's Mushi ends up dead but Shiika is also gravely injured.
      Rina goes to the GARDEN to try to free all of the Fallen, This goes horribly wrong when her Mushi starts to Mature and the Devourer ends up..well...Devouring her.
      Daisuke....Uhg.
      Lets just cut the torture and say.... Rina ends up dead, Shiika in the hospital and still free, Daisuka/Kakkou back to work with the SEPB.   Shiika still doesn't seem to know that Kakkou is Daisuke but... She's supposed to meet Daisuke a year later on Christmas at the Planetarium so not all is bleak.


Favorite Character{s}:
          Asami Minagawa; Rina's bubbly friend in HS, She ends up becoming a "Host" thanks to their Homeroom teacher. She's quite the Mushi Fanatic, Maintaining a website about them and even searching them out for photos. Sadly, In episode eight one of the SEPB destroy Asami's Mushi which was inside her camera.. A computer bug?

Least Favorite Character{s}:
          Daisuke; Yep.  I don't like him.... Can't quite pinpoint why I don't but he just seemed like a bad... "Main Guy".
