Impressions:

I enjoyed this episode much more than the first. This episode is presented in a much more orderly fashion, without too much randomness and hectic plot advances. It’s a lot more calming, without too much happening at once, and is far easier to follow than the first episode, where I just did not get anything and what the hell was happening. Well, there’s also bath scene to start things off, which is severely out of place in my opinion. Just because they were dirty they had to wash immediately? What if they stepped in a puddle! Off to the baths again! And some time after, we get another naked girl in water, only this time it’s night and the water looks extremely cold (there’s no steam). They didn’t even give a reason for this lol. It’s probably to make her, Kaon, seem more elegant…dunno how that works but it’s an idea! Also, there’s an ‘onna no ko to onna no ko no kisu!’ Which means ‘girl and girl kiss’, which is described as ‘beautiful’ by Kuu, but obviously it’s just another piece of fanservice.

And that brings me to Kuu, who is actually a really likeable character. I find her especially cute, and I love the character designs. Her personality is awesome, but anime-only though. She’s just too gullible and naïve; believing everything she is told straight away. She never shows any shock or surprise either. This is like the perfect example of the personality of your typical maiden in distress, though probably with less screaming. And speaking of gullibility, Kaon’s explanation of her kind, the Absolute Angels, is far to farfetched for anyone to believe, yet Kuu still believes it. You can’t just materialise matter of such quantity like that…I don’t care how many years people researched, I refuse to accept it. It’s not even close to science fiction. I would be much more satisfied with a fantastical explanation, but they just had to make this supposedly explainable by science. Oh well, it’s not something really worth complaining about though; just wanted to get it off my chest. Anyway, as I have blogged this second episode, I guess that means I will be following this series!
