Pumpkin Scissors: Episode 19

March 12th, 2007 at 2:28 am | Category: Pumpkin Scissors

Rating: 8.8/10

Impressions:

After that short break last episode, it seems things have gotten back on track. Alice is now well on the way of getting married, and a new enemy has begun to brew. Although this new foe is only a bunch of homeless people with guns, it is at least more interesting than comedy, which does not fit in with the overall feel of the show. The cliffhanger ending is pretty effective, as now the main powerhouse of Section III will probably go missing in action. I’m hoping for some action next episode, and a lot of plot progression, as it is still pretty slow at the moment in my opinion. When are we gonna get back to original conspiracy?

It is interesting to discover how Alice never smiles except when with Section III. From this and various other reasons, it is clear that Alice is not going to leave the army (and if she does, I will be very disappointed). It’s touching to see how much she cares for those in Section III, yet also depressing to know that what they do only affects a fraction of all those in need. The way Stekkin and Orlando give away so many mittens is a good example of how if you give out something, others will want it too (this is highly true in families). This means that even though it might be heartless to not help others, it is sometimes best to not do so in order to avoid aggression.

I wouldn’t say this series is the best thing out there but it isn’t a waste of time. I find its actually quite easy to tell if a series is good or not. With some anime I just can’t wait for the next episode with others I don’t really mind. Also with long serials the anime usually has its ups and downs which might make it hard to decide.

acegunner, the first half of this series is pretty crap if you ask me, with the first few episodes as an exception, though it does get better later on. i recommend to give it another shot, and watch past episode 13 or 14
