I’m still watching the three shows from last time and they’ve been subbed up to episode 3 so far so here is the second installment of my SHOUJO SHOWDOWN (This’ll probably be the last since episodes 1-3 are a pretty clear first impression). This post is a little shorter now that we have the first impression aspects out of the way. Honestly this season has been great in terms of pleasing Shoujo anime and I’m actually following a Shounen anime for once so that says something about Soul Eater :D.
On to ROUND 2!!
Do we need a recap on what I’m watching? Well, here’s a short sentence for each anime.
Itazura Na Kiss
Stupid girl falls for smart boy, EARTHQUAKE destroys girl’s house and they have to live together, hilarity ensues.
Vampire Knight
Girl is a guardian at school where there are vampires and has two hawt vampires going for her. Zero is a vampire, yes. Ah damn, that’s two (three now) sentences.
Special A
Annoying girl is 2nd place and wants to beat the guy who has beaten her since they were young but is too stupid to see that he likes her.
Well, they’re actually better than my summary but that’s the best I can do right now LOL. I said there’d be categories but I’m not even bothered for that but you get paragraphs for each series so LET’S GO! (F.T I.S.L.A.N.D)
Each week I look forward to watching Itazura na Kiss the most now despite it being the one with the weakest (and most un-funny) first episode. I just love seeing Kotoko pwn Naoki each episode even if only for like 2 minutes. Damn tsun tsun guy, why won’t he just like her and make babies already! But I love it in episode 3 when he says “Maybe I’ll like her in the future” :D, makes my inner pairing junkie happy and right now the other series’ don’t satisfy that. Kotoko’s hair makes me lol with the 90’s styles and her pigtails look like weapons or something and Naoki still has the hugest chin this season. Well, I like 90s shoujo anime (Kodocha, Marmalade Boy) so that’s a plus.
Vampire Knight is still intriguing, sometimes I just want to find the manga and just read it all because I want to know what’s going to happen next but I already do thanks to wikipedia. The series gets into neck bites more quickly than expected but hey that’s all good because it’s a catalyst for more drama rite guys? The last third of episode 3 literally had me GASPING while watching it 11 at night because of the attack sequence and while I was watching it on my ipod I was narating the scenes to my sister at the computer and she was like “wtf, I don’t care” because it sort of sounded like (OH SPOILER) “The freaky vampire is in the tower, hey Zero is outside… wtf is Kaname doing there, Kaname kills the bad vampire with magic… OH LOOK ZERO SHOWED HIS FANGS… wow, that’s a lot of sucking and blood“. Content wise Vampire Knight still remains the most interesting but Itazura na Kiss has Naoki as a mini trap when he was small.
Special A just pisses me off sometimes, when will Hikari stop being an annoying dim-wit and stop challenging Kei? Episode 3 was the best so far probably because it wasn’t a competition episode and also because Kei is so OBVIOUSLY in love with Hikari, damn Hikari. Why are 90% shoujo heroines either dense or plain stupid? The legs remain elongated and they all remain anorexic XD. I really want to see character development for the other people in the S.A because they seem a lot more interesting than Kei and Hikari do.
In Conclusion
All these series are entertaining and better than all the tits and ass shows of the season and anime needs more pairings *EXPLODES* but so far I say Itazura na Kiss>Vampire Knight>> Special A (Episode 4 of Itazura na Kiss just got subbed, excuse me while I dl JUST WATCHED EP 4, ahh, Naoki’s mother is seriously FTW).
Hey, does Itazura na Kiss have the same storyline as IT STARTED WITH A KISS???? Cause the whole sentence you gave us sounded like a recap of it LOL BTW i didn’t read the first post of this one
Yeh, It Started With A Kiss is the TW drama adaption of the manga Itazura na Kiss, there’s also a really old school J drama around from the 90s.
SA gets to repetitive after the first 20 somethin chapters of the manga but i found it funny.
I ruined Vampire Knight for myself by reading wiki.
