Sukinayo is definitely you're typical drama
romance series. It isn't really anything special and it doesn't really stand
out in any way. But still, I watch it every week because typical shoujo is just
fun to watch :3
Honestly
speaking, I'm not having the motivation of writing Sukinayo but I'll feel really bad if I stop writing about this
when I've already started it. I'll go watch episode 6 a little later and I'll
do my best to post it soon :P ~on a side note, I still haven't seen Sword Art Online's ALO arc. I'll do my best to pull
myself together and watch it this week...
Episode
4.
Despite how much I
disliked Mei and Yamato last episode, this episode opened really nicely. I like
how Yamato gave Mei a matching bracelet. I also like how Mei consider it as
something precious that she hit a teacher just to avoid having it confiscated (although
that seemed like going a little too far. LOL).
In this episode, Mei
seems to not get affected so much with all the thing surrounding Yamato
anymore. That's kind of nice(: I like how she stood up from Yamato's friend,
Hayakawa Kakeru (Kaji
Yuki), and how she helped Aiko in dealing with him. Instead of just being
dramatic all over the place like how she was during the first couple of
episodes, I like how she's being her strong and fighting self and is facing the
people who're harassing her (LOL) because of Yamato.
Seeing Yamato punch
the hell out of Hayakawa sure is a pretty good up :3 Based on what Aiko just
said, this is the first time Yamato punch someone this hard (or am I recalling
things wrong in here. Please do correct me if I got this part wrong~). I think
that this practically just shows how serious Yamato is with Mei(:
As of this episode,
I think that Sukinayo has really proven
itself as a somewhat mature shoujo series that can talk and deal about the
topic of sex casually and carefully. Not that we're going deeper into that. But
the issue itself was dealt with care, added to the story and was done well
without making so much fuss about it.
Another interesting
idea that Sukinayo had presented in here
is how someone would do everything to please someone they like. Going through
so much lengths as she has been doing without getting what it is she's actually
achieving for is a real let down. Seeing how she seems to have accepted Yamato's
feelings for Mei through her conversation with Hayakawa, I think that she has
done her part (and she actually made me feel that she's the Kurumi-chan of Sukinayo. LOL).
Episode
5.
This episode is kind
of cute although it makes me wonder just how much more friendless people we'll
meet along the way. LOL.
Let me start off
with the small things :3 Kuro is really cute because he's small. Marshmallow,
on the other hand, is really adorable despite how she always have that face. LOL. Fat cats like Marshmallow
looks really huggable! Reminds me of Nyanko-sensei~ And by the way, I kind of
like Mei's outfit this time. HAHA. It look really cute.
Mei and Yamato's
date in here really just shows how fast things are happening in this series. I
mean seriously. First off they Yamato kissed Mei at ep1. He confessed to her at
ep2 and she practically reciprocated his confession. Next thing we know, Yamato
calls Mei his girlfriend and she doesn't mind at all even though they never
really talked about actually being on a relationship. Now… Yamato invites Mei
over his house 'to have their kittens meet and play'. Seriously? In his place
already? Can't they first meet outside in park or something? Well okay. Sorry
about that. That's just me freaking out at how fast things are going~
Moving on...
Okay, I didn't see
Kurosawa Imouto coming. Her story somehow resembles Mei. Kurosawa Nagi (Ise Mariya) is a pretty
cute child and I like how close she is to her brother. Actually, I initially
thought that she's having some brother complex there when she was getting all
hot headed on Mei. Good thing she isn't. Comparing to Mei, I actually like
Nagi's story more. It does seem pretty typical but for a child like her, having
'friends' coming over seems really nice. But knowing that they only want to
hang out in her house because it's really convenient to play there must be
really painful her.
I understand Nagi's
place there. Not knowing whom to talk to about what's going on in her, she
decided to stop going to school to avoid seeing those 'user-friendly friends'.
Mei's encouragement to her might not entirely be the solution to her making
friends but at the very least, she has probably opened herself again in
accepting and placing trust on people .
As of this episode,
I 'm actually pretty disappointed at how Sukinayo
doesn't seem to have any strong stories or arcs. I'm probably looking for at
least 2-story arcs which will involve a major struggle in their relationship.
The previous episodes seem to only show how aggressive Yamato is and how
stronger Mei becomes.
