Tactics 17

The return of Hasumi - and his adopted daughter Rosalie. She is one queer little girl... One who is able to see youkais just like Kan-chan, and perhaps a little more gifted than him. When Rosalie met Kantarou and Haruka at the church, she approached the tengu and asked him "why do you have wings?" Whoa... That was really something. Later we learned that Rosalie had mistaken Haruka as the fallen angel Lucifer because of his black wings, and I went "No, no, no, no!" Nooooooooooooo... Don't taint Haruka like that, little miss! Well, I happened to dislike dolly-like characters, and she's looking like one. Well, someone already provided me with the spoiler that Rosalie was Hasumi's child, but the fact that she was adopted made up for it. Whoa... Kantarou did questioned Hasumi during a private dinner, asking if it was just part of the latter's intention to further his scientific research. We can see that father and daughter are very dependent on each other - bringing up the question if a scientific man is able to get along with a girl granted with supernatural senses. They are indeed very loving, but at one point towards the end of the episode Hasumi promised Rosalie that "I will cure you [from your hallucinations]". After hearing that sentence I began to doubt him like Kantarou did. You sure you are not treating Rosalie as an experiment? Are you certain that there are real sentiments involved here? Time (as in further episodes) can only tell.

Also the return of more characters we've been missing for episodes. Minamoto is back! And so is Ibaragi (but only at the last scene, and she doesn't speak a word). And a new "villian" characters by the name of Edwards. Arrrgh... ~~Don't taint Edward's name! Alchemise you, freaky mister Smiley!~~ And to the comical side of tonight's episode, the marble Haruka got his finger stuck for is back - without the glass bottle! LMAO!! XDDDDDD [That is the part, Pandora! I can't believe they did include it in the anime - I guess it's really too funny to be missed! Hooray for the manga!] And just like in the manga, Haruka is sooooo proud to show off his ~~extracted~~ marble to everyone, lol. Why did it appear in this episode anyway... =_________=

And a paragraph for Kantarou. Coz it's rare to see Mister Silver Hair drunk, lol. But hey, Hasumi returned, so there's a reason to get drunk... I guess he was feeling really hurt this time... Poor Kan-chan. *pat pat* The episode opens with Kantarou drunk and whining about why Numata-sensei recommended Hasumi for a certain prestigious position instead of himself. So as a good friend (I hope it's because of this reason and not because he was being forced to) Haruka had to stay beside him and tolerate all of Kan-chan's whinings... Well, Kantarou the drunkard lost all traits of a gentleman - he is so noisy and nonsensical, and lastly, spits the sake out full-force right after he drank from the sake bottle itself. o_O Oi, oi... Mou... So there, Kantarou suffered a hangover for two days. Two days?! Nnggggghhh... This is one "incredible" drinker... =.= But Reiko-san pulled him out of his house for work. And I was quite surprised when Youko asked Kantarou if his head still hurts. Wow, this is actually the first time Youko seemed concerned for him! That's a nice fox-youkai you got there! ^^ (And it turns out that Suzu was still mean to Kantarou and blames him for getting himself drunk. Bleh.) Mu was as sticky to Kan-chan as ever, and the latter unintentionally seduced her as patting her head tenderly. Sugino was well, as jealous as ever, and grabbed Mu away from Kantarou with the excuse of "Poverty is infectious!" *falls off the chair* ROFL~~~!!! Tsk tsk... That was some lame excuses, Sugino... -_-;; And lastly, the scenes of Kantarou and Haruka! Ooo, I still love those scenes... It's classic (in Tactics) to have Haruka helping Kantarou in dangerous situations. Haruka decided to follow Kantarou to the church although the human insisted to go explore that place himself. And later the episode had Haruka protecting Kantarou from dangerous flying objects flung by the possessed Rosalie. Lovely. This pair, made up of a human and a demon, is just... awwww... Oh yeah, and Mu and Haruka make a perfect demon-busting pair! Shoo, Kantarou-san! Tonight's battle had Haruka weakening the youkais followed by Mu sucking/eating up them, though much to Sugino's disapproval. In conclusion - Tactics! Haruka and Mu! Maybe they should start replacing Kantarou's images with Mu's in the OP beginning from tomorrow, XP

Crossovers! Meow X33:
1. church setting - Chrno Crusade, Hellsing and Shaman King
2. Hasumi, at one scene - Tanaka from Pretear :P
3. Edwards - the doppelganger/creepy-version of Chichiri from Fushigi Yuugi [and actually more of someone else than Chichiri, but I can't remember! =.=]
