Sumomomo Momomo: Episodes 9 & 10

Rating: 7.8/10 & 8/10
Impressions:
This show isn’t exactly impacting me like it used to. It’s no longer as funny as it seemed; perhaps the jokes are being overused repeatedly. Whatever the case though, it still is rather interesting with not a dull moment in both episodes. Both focus on Sanae, who is burning with lust for the player Koushi. Her love seems a lot more normal than Iroha and Momoko though, which places her higher than Momoko on my list. Iroha is still at the top since she’s cute and aggressive at the same time, while Sanae is next as she is exactly like your normal girl apart from her martial artist alter ego. I still can’t stand Momoko though. The way she acts doesn’t make it seem like she’s really in love with Koushi, but far more like an average fangirl who managed to get close to her idol. Well anyway, as much as I like the perverted comedy in this series, I can’t get used to Sanae’s costume. It doesn’t suit her at all and is far too slutty. And why the hell does she need to have that thing in her mouth like a hostage? And to think it’s meant to be some powerful suit passed down from generations, which means that the guys had to wear it too? Oh god that’s a terrible thought. As of now, the show is still going around in circles with character development. Hopefully the main storyline (whatever that is) will pick up soon. It’s already about halfway through the series…

Thought it was a bit strange as the series has kind of lost the humor it had since the beginning eps and focused more on the ecchi side of the story insted of the action. Let just hope theres some good fights coming up!
I believe their martial artists are all women, so the suit is for the ladies. The power of the suit is that it makes the user feel embarassed; the more embarassed the user is, the greater their power.
I agree that these last few episodes haven’t been as funny. Hopefully, they’ll turn the focus back on the other characters.
First want to say that you have a really nice blog going here. I watch some of the shows that you blog and decided to finally add a comment.
Just wanted to point out that the thing Sanae wears appears to resemble a horse’s bit which is the metal piece put in the horse’s mouth so that the rider can ride it better.
As for the episodes themselves, they are entertaining and there is some plot in the series, that for me is good enough.
