Impressions:

Ewok, I am now only one episode behind, and hopefully I can finish episode 17 before episode 18 comes out. I’m really only behind because of so many shows being better than Pumpkin Scissors, which makes me want to watch this less. That is…until now. This episode is definitely the best episode so far (dunno about 17) and this is the first time I’ve given the episode more than a nine. Hopefully Pumpkin Scissors can stay consistent on this new standard which it has set for itself, as I’m sure everything happening now is part of the main plot, and will be relevant to the end of series from 20+. At least I hope it is. I hate it when shows chop up events and display them with no link to each other.

Wow, Alice has returned to awesomeness again, with her cockiness absent and her will to carry out justice continues in a pleasant manner. And her sword-wielding abilities are totally cool. As this show is clearly not a fantasy/shounen show, Alice is not a super hero and does not wipe everyone out in one swing. Instead, she gets tired after a few knockouts, which is what is meant to happen. Still, she completely engulfed me with her kickass aura as soon as she pulled out that gigantince double edged sword (I have no idea what it’s called lol). And to top it off, the quality is actually very high this episode! Her movements are greatly animated, and she looks pretty hot in some scenes.

Next episode, it looks like there will be a bit more of Alice in action, though the main feature will most likely be Orlando’s and Hans’s eventual showdown. It’s gonna be sweet (I hope). A lot of stuff apart from action happens as well. We get the reappearance of the masked man (and he’s STILL not the ultimate bad guy it seems), as well as the scientist whose name is no where to be found in my head. And she’s actually on good terms with Orlando. I guess she would be, as she is the supervisor of all the 90x series…right? And it looks like Orlando has no idea of her true motives and nature…

Oreld is still the player that he is, and this time it actually comes in handy. Sure, the lipstick marks on his face are an exaggeration and indication of what he’s been doing, but it’s still ridiculously funny. I wish he was in the fight though, but it seems like he’s had enough focus for now. He’s been my favourite character for most of the show, but if Alice can stop being naive and bitchy, I might actually like her more. And on the other side of the spectrum, sheesh what is up with Mione? I really hate him. First he’s completely scared of the masked guy, then he shoots him and tries to act tough, and finally reverts back to his spineless self. God I hate him. He’s ugly as well…
