Sumomomo Momomo: Episodes 3 & 4

Impressions:
This show really is quite funny. Episode 3 wasn’t as good, but episode 4 was hilarious. I especially enjoyed the appearances of Iruha. She wins over Momoko and Sanae by a mile. Momoko is just too young, while Sanae is too normal. I guess you could call Iruha a slight Tsundere, but it seems she’s already softened up in the second episode she’s appeared in. Only problem with this show is there really isn’t anything to say. Help! Give me a topic to blab about! Well, there may be one thing I can touch on, and that is this mysterious…Plan B!! Xebek said that this Plan B of Iruha’s is probably to bear Koushi’s ‘offspring’ lol, and I completely agree with that. It’s most likely that she becomes attached to Koushi as she’s like one of the girls who appears on the top page of the official site! I wonder how Koushi will react. He seems to be infatuated by Sanae, but she’s boring as hell and only redeeming part is her seiyuu. I will definitely be rooting for Iruha, though Koushi will most likely treat her the same way as Momoko (though their first encounter looked promising!)
It seems like Momoko and Iruha will start fighting soon (over Koushi of course), which reminds me of Muteki Kanban Musume. Aside from the reason of their goal, the Momoko x Iruha rivalry is quite similar to Miki x Megumi. Momoko is obviously far stronger than Iruha in terms of physical strength, but I wonder how Iruha will fair in battle. Will the producers try to balance things out by making Iruha weaker but closer to Koushi, or just as strong as Momoko. I doubt the rivalry will last very long though, when new families appear trying to kill Koushi. How many episodes are there in the series again? I can understand how everything will fit into a 26 episoder if all the other competing families are introduced, but a 13 episode season is also reasonable. Seeing as it’s not all humour and has some plot points, I’d say 26 is a better choice. But ANN is down right now and I can’t check the number of episodes, and I don’t even know if that’s little piece of information has been confirmed yet. Anyway, I think I’ll be doing one entry every two episodes from now on. I doubt I’ll be doing any summaries either.

It’ll be interesting to see Sanae fight as well. I think the OP hints at it.
I think all the characters are introduced already, doubt the other families will be brought in, so that should make a 13 ep series just nice. I’m not too sure though. Would love to see more.
“rock you!”
I believe there’s 26.
Iruha is extra loli as well, but not as much as Momoko. Momoko does some outrageous things, but Iruha does indeed have a tsundere twist. I think I like Iruha’s character more than Momo’s as well. Also, I fear watching more than 4 episodes of Sumomomo at a time would cause a permanent echo of Momoko’s voice saying “Koushi-donooooo!” (repeat that in your mind, it never leaves ^^)
Really funny, I like it!
