I think I might have a problem. This show is no good and yet I continue to look at it. I don't know what the fuck I'm working with anymore. Anyway this is the third episode. Third time's a charm and all that. God, I hope so, but somehow doubt it. LET'S ANIME IT UP DUDES!
What Happened
Girl classmate is in a car with a random lady I've never seen before. The girl's name is Nina Mori or something. Anyway they talk about some shit. Nina Mori's apparently very mature. I know this because a dozen people state this over the course of the episode. The woman is her dad's secretary or something. I guess her dad's giving this secretary the high hard one or something. Nina Mori says she's a smart secretary because she is wearing a different suit of clothes so no one is going to know she's fucking her dad or something. I guess her parents are getting divorced or something. The secretary is like, "Yo, you've got a change of clothes there too what gives?" Nina Mori's apparently in a class play at school.
Meanwhile at Takkun's house he wakes up and his room's a goddamn disaster area. He goes outside where Vespa Lady is working on her Vespa. He tells her to clean up her shit, but she's like, "Eh whatever, your dad doesn't seem to mind since he's making a huge mess by publishing a zine like he's a circa 1992 riot grrl." Takkun goes to leave, but Vespa lady grabs Takkun and does something to him off camera cooing that something is "so soft and cuddly." The 12 year old protagonist seems to be enjoying whatever she's doing. I don't even know.
Meanwhile at elementary school Nina Mori's all like, "Yo, WTF mang, you totally missed rehearsals for our play! I'm the lead role and it's very important to me that this play goes well!"
Takkun's like, "Meh, I'm just a dumb cat in this play and give zero fucks about it okay. Take a chill pill or something alright?" Nina Mori's not having that though and yells at him shrilly.
During class the teacher lady gives a lecture about cats and I wish that I'd attended elementary school in rural Japan. I never got to learn about cats in elementary school. Some boys are not into learning about cats and instead pass around a tabloid about Nina Mori's dad and his affair. I guess he's the mayor or something so him having a sex scandal I guess is kind of news worthy.
The boys talk about how the store that sold the magazine still sold Crystal Pepsi or something and make references to Van Halen before the teacher grabs it and freaks the fuck out and is like, "Yo what's this!?" and snatches the magazine and then is all like, "You shouldn't real this garbage! Did you even consider how this might make Nina Mori feel?"
This pretty much sums up what this goddamn show is...
Takkun does Wonder Years voice over stuff about how he felt sorry for Nina Mori, but not sorry enough to actually stay for play practice. He fucks off and goes down by the river to hang out with Mamimi. She's wearing cat ears and has whiskers drawn on her face for some reason and is like, "You're skipping school? You're going to turn into a delinquent like me Takkun!"
He says that ditching an extracurricular activity that he didn't want to be part of anyway doesn't really count as skipping school. She talks about how she had fond memories of being in a school play before she burned her school down and then decides to take pictures with Takkun. She pulls off his hat and now, instead of weird horns he has cat ears growing out of his skull for some reason. She takes pictures with him and that's that.
Takkun's dad is off peddling his 'zine to some convenience store when Nina Mori shows up. Takkun's dad attempt to sell her a copy of the 'zine to try and convince the store owner that it's popular.
Back at that river Mamimi talks to Takkun about having random shit come out of his head and also tells him he was brave when he went inside Conti and blew up that other robot. Takkun says he doesn't really remember what happened.
Nina Mori is outside what I'm assuming to be her house, but there's a gang of reporters gathered outside. The secretary from before pops out of the sewers like a Ninja Turtle and tells Nina Mori that she's got good boots for a Nouveau Riche princess and then runs away. I don't know.
Nina Mori goes and hangs out at a train station and Takkun finds her there. He mocks her for skipping play practice too. They argue for a bit and then Takkun's like, "Hey if you want to talk about what's going on at home you can," or something schmaltzy like that, but Vespa Lady rolls up on the scene and falls off her Vespa while attempting to avoid a cat. Her scooter crushes Takkun who then flies lips first into Nina Mori. Takkun's hat falls off and Nina Mori touches his cat ears in spite Vespa Lady telling her not to. Nina Mori is stricken by some sort of stomach ailment and gets knocked out or something.
They have dinner at Takkun's house. Nina Mori's there and is all like "Why is this robot eating curry?" The Dad's like "You should sleep over here tonight for some reason." Nina Mori then gets diarrhea or something and takes a bath. We are treated to a scene where she's nude with her arms over her chest having a conversation with Takkun's dad who's outside the bathroom window because ANIME!
Later Takkun walks into his room and Nina Mori's there wearing his pajamas and glasses. Takkun's poleaxed by the fact that Nina Mori wears glasses and is all like, "YOU WEAR GLASSES!?" This leads to a big thing where they swear not to tell their classmates about any of this bullshit. She then says that she used her power as class president to rig the votes about the play so she could play the lead and he'd be the cat. "Deep" "philosophical" word chunks happen before Vespa Lady starts playing bass and the two elementary school kids realize she's been sitting on the top bunk the entire time. She strokes Takkun's cat ears and everyone gets pissed off.
The next day at school Vespa Lady and Conti the robot in a bomber jacket show up to deliver Takkun's lunch. The class is all like, "Is that a robot or something? WTF?" and then Takkun's like, "Yo I don't even need this lunch because I'm not doing this stupid play." His class is all like, "Yo mang, you totally have to. It was democracy and shit."
Nina Mori grabs Takkun's arm and is like, "You can't leave I need this play so my parents don't get divorced." Takkun's a dick and knocks Nina Mori's pimp hat off. She retaliates by knocking his Gilligan hat off revealing his cat ears to the entire class. Takkun's furious and is like, "YO! SHE TOTALLY CHEATED TO WIN THIS THEATRICAL ELECTION!"
Nina Mori gets a headache and suddenly Takkun's cat ears are on her head instead of his. A giant robot busts out of her. Vespa Lady and Conti the Robot in a Bomber Jacket try to fight the robot but the evil robot uses Nina Mori's legs to fight them off. Nina Mori gets pantsed during this battle because ANIME! The fight goes badly so Vespa Lady summons her Vespa and bass and goes up to the roof to fight the robot. The teacher gets run over by the Vespa.
Up on the roof Takkun drops his lunch of curry onto the evil robot which causes it to shit out Nina Mori and get diarrhea. Conti then swallows Takkun and turns into a cannon and blasts the fuck out of the giant robot and the school. FLAWLESS VICTORY!
Some time later the class puts on their play. Takkun does narrating and says that Nina Mori's dad The King of Town ended up not getting prosecuted for whatever crime he committed (adultery maybe?) and Nina Mori didn't have to move away. Nina Mori's wearing glasses but claims that they're fake and we're done with another goddamn episode of this fucking show.
Thoughts
This episode was honestly a little less annoying the the two that proceeded it. Mamimi is hands down the most annoying character in this entire show and she was kept to a minimum this episode. A lot of the other shit that annoyed me about this show was still present though. It was still loud and the plot was really disjointed and there was randomly a nude 12 year old girl for no goddamn reason so it's still pretty bad, but at present it is the best episode of this series.
Giant Robots: Yup.
Lesbian Subtext: Nope.
Boobs: Yup. Under folded arms and 12 years old because ANIME!
Body Horror: Yup.
Magical Teen Girls: Maybe?
