Tactics 10
Was indeed a great first episode of a two-parter. The suspense builds up very subtly, and observe that neither did Kantarou's bells ring, nor did his scar hurt... Aha... Here's the catch. And the mention about Yin and Yang - looks like neither Kantarou nor Haruka like the sound of it. We'll see tomorrow.We witness the amibitous Kantarou as the husband-wannabe to Kyoko. At first, Kantarou greets Kyoko with kisses on the hand and other flattery, and we went - what?! since when is Kantarou capable of having lust in his heart?! Youko came into the scene to shade some light about the enigma: Aha. Kyoko is a rich widow. NOW IT ALL MAKE SENSE... *snickers* That mouth of Kantarou's - he sure knows how to flatter targeted women, and Youko is
Haruka, however, is the opposite of Kantarou... As Miyabi described it: "a heart sympathetic and pure". Yes, that's our Haruka today. So kind-hearted, so compassionate. He treats Miyabi lovingly tonight, speaking gently to her and nicely telling the surrounding crows to leave Miyabi's garden alone. How sweet of him. And there is an interplay of the black-wings imagery. The crows obediently listens to Haruka, who is a black-winged tengu. A beautiful, yet suggestive scene. What's more, we learnt (from Kantarou) that Haruka doesn't like sweet stuff. But he accepts the sweet because Miyabi offered them to him. Note this, however - Haruka is not being exceptionally nice to Miyabi alone. I believe he really does have a pure heart. He was that nice to Suzu as well in one of the previous episodes - and accepts Suzu's candy as well.
The twins Mai and Miyabi may be twins, but are behaving the exact opposite. Miyabi may seem to be of a kinder nature, but from my point of view, seems suspicious to me. However she reminds me of her parallel to Kantarou with her black hair and red eyes. My, what lovely red eyes she (and Kan-chan) has! Mai seems to be more of an angry young lady, and snaps at everyone a lot. Yet she has a passionate personality, and was just doing the opposite of how she feels. Because of the last scene - in the dark of the night where two pairs of lovers...attempts to seek a moment of togetherness...not! Yes dears, the last scene made me go WTF?! What the hell... The two seperate scenes of Miyabi x Haruka and Mai x Kantarou - surprise...!
Short commentary, coz we'll wait for tomorrow's verdict. Let's bring on the crossovers for now:
1. the name Kyoko, and she being a widow - Kyoko from Maison Ikkoku [both Kyokos are great beauties]
2. the glowing red eyes of the dog-like creature - Chrno Crusade
3. Suzaku - Fushigi Yuugi
4. Yin and Yang - finale of Rurouni Kenshin
