On a roll? Nah, just trying to catch up. XD;


Episode 12

The setting of this episode was set before the family formed; when Kyouka was still looking for the bureau. It’s another of those slightly unrelated to the protagonists. Not very informative even to Kyouka’s story, imo, even though she’s in it.



Oh well, the story is cute. Reminded me even of Chobits except that, instead of a robot, Katsura picks up a stray cat.



She’s not as cute as Chi though. I wish she is; somebody less annoying too. She could have talked right away since she knew how to instead of going Nyaa~n or Meow at first. >_> Rry, not cute. Her weird name proves her uncuteness (if there’s such word!). LOLz~ Calling her Cat is less than lacking creativity. Why say this story cute then? It’s because of the kiss in the ending. XD

I believed Katsura’s reason for being so depressed most of the time is because he did something worst than to fake being college student. D: Not much of a shocking news since he isn’t a bad person at all. There’s no wonder his professor didn’t take his confession heavily. Another thing, I doubt the police or guards that dressed up like soldiers in a mecha anime are unlikely to pick him up because of that “school crime” of his. *facepalm*

Ahh, Hyouka’s first love… That didn’t seem like it in the end. Why are we back on the history of Hyouka again? Tsk.



I still think that Hyouka is a girl even though she, I mean, he looks like he’s got busts. @_@ I was kind of hoping this episode will prove the audience wrong and that he’s actually a girl. :O



This episode is full of ODD in it. It seems Hyouka can easily blend in the society. You know, living with normal people and they wouldn’t even question why he’s a robot. Same goes with Teika or probably even Gekka. Kiriko hung out with Hyouka as if he was a normal human; not even shocked or scared at their first meeting . They went to a carnival-like place that Ouka recommended that was full of people and things not normal. Kiriko was only surprised that such place exists. What normal and boring character… D: Well, I didn’t want her to go “Kyaaa!” or something

Kyouka was being childish again in this episode. More than usual. I liked how dominating she was. She did a lot of immature stuff, but still had sense. Now she’s like just another character that I think I’m beginning to dislike. DX



In the end, Hyouka didn’t like Kiriko but he probably just missed Kiriko’s sister who he lived with for a short while until he accidentally killed her. He hid the memory away. Seeing Kiriko slowly returned his memory that’s why he was having head pains imo. Dr. Gecko did some contribution to it too. He seems more evil than the saru professor.

The way this anime is going, it will probably take a while before it gets back right on track. I miss seeing them working together whether to help others or destroy things. LOLz

Episode 46



Otae and Ane caused a ruckus in a bar they both work in. The manager wasn’t too pleased. Other than that, Otae has been excessively doing her bodyguard duties by beating the crap out of the pervy customers. Ane’s also a problem with her leeching off too much money from her customers. The manager decides one of them should leave the bar in one month as the ruckus can’t go on forever. Whoever gets to stay will be decided the following day as to whoever can get the most sales.

Before the night ended while Ane was on her way home, Otae apologized to her. Ane didn’t expect that as she was looking forward to a showdown of some sorts. But, of course, Otae wasn’t that kind. XDDD; She only made up that drama and had Gintoki and Hasegawa go to the bar. She forced the two poor guys to order Dom Perignon to boost her sales. Ane, furious about this, called up Matsudaira. It could have been an easy win for her, but Gorilla showed up to help Otae. XDDD It became a battle of who-orders-the-most-Dom-Perignon. Gorilla’s money was wiped out a little later. Otae couldn’t accept this fact so she had him and the 2 other guys to get more money. Matsudaira was also running out of cash. Ane didn’t let this go easily too. She had him withdraw money from his bank. In the end, none of the girls were asked to leave. Good for them, but not for the guys. XD;

This episode also has the “Oshiete, sensei” segment. Gintoki teaches the viewers how to draw himself, Kagura, and Shinpachi. He says that Shinpachi is the basis for a lot of characters.

The episode’s funny as usual, but I really pity the guys for being used by the two wicked girls. Especially Gorilla! I wonder if Otae will ever really like him.

I have a lot of catching up to do. D:



The family is on another vacation again in an unknown island. Pierre is with them too. While everybody was playing, a pink pirate ship arrives. They’re not the typical pirates though. They aren’t violent and aim to be loved by everyone. Ouka says that defeats the definition of a pirate. True that. They also sell fish which is why they are there because Pierre buys from them. He ordered a lot of mackerel… More than his refrigerator can take. So he makes sushi out of most of them. Gekka, such a glutton to sushi, eats them and never gives any to the rest of the family even one piece. When the family was arguing for the mackerel, a young girl speaks up, but she’s nowhere to be seen. Well, she was mistakenly placed with the mackerel; hidden underneath those fish. This girl is actually the captain of the pirate ship. Her name is Mujyakey, the daughter of cold-hearted pirate Growald.

Do Gone, another pirate, shows up. He used to be Growald’s right-hand man, but he betrayed them when Growald died. He’s now after the treasure map that Mujyakey has. During Mujyakey and Do Gone’s verbal fight, Kyouka took the map as she wants the treasure too. She was then taken away by Do Gone. Mujyakey and her crew go after Do Gone. Ouka and family went with them without even asking permission first.



They caught up with Do Gone with the help of a pair legs from Mujyakey’s ship. That was weird. XD; Do Gone unexpectedly shot them with canons when Mujyakey was climbing on a pole. Kyouka rescues her when she was falling, but that doesn’t come free. Kyouka was charging Mujyakey for 100YEN. Since she couldn’t pay, Kyouka takes over the ship as the captain! She orders the crew to fight back against Do Gone, almost destroying his ship. The ship that totally got destroyed was Mujyakey’s. Pink tentacles came from the ocean and brought it down. My guess would be those were Gekka’s. The crew along with Ouka’s family were swept into what seems to be an abandoned island. It’s also were Growald’s treasure is.

The search for the treasure went easily. Too bad, the treasure isn’t gold nor silver. :3 The path on treasure finding was to help Mujyakey realize her full potential as a pirate. Do Gone only helped her because he was asked by Growald before he died. It was so effective because finding out the gold and silver are hidden somewhere pissed Mujyakey off, revealing her true nature. Do Gone began to fear her as well as Ouka and the family.



I didn’t expect Kyouka to be scared of Mujyakey. I mean, she was just fighting on the previous episodes. Now she’s all scared. She’s the headstrong and brave character yet she’s being OOC. >_> I hope the next episode would be better — a motivating one.

Episode 43 (last part) and 44



Elizabeth has been kidnapped! The story was introduced after the main story of episode 43. Forgot to include that in the previous review/summary. Anyway, Elizabeth was kidnapped by Toyama Chintarou. He does anything he wants with no fright because he’s got money. Katsura asked the Yorozuya for help by bribing them with sweets/food. Then they ask for Sa-chan’s help by teaching them at least the basics of ninja. It wasn’t that easy to ask Sa-chan because she’s got excuses, but Gintoki’s bullying actually helped.

Before the actual training, Sa-chan made them wear ninja clothes. She told them they shouldn’t wear flashy clothes, so they won’t be easily seen. Yet the color of their clothes are too striking. XD; Shinpachi’s wearing a black-spotted white ninja suit, Gintoki’s all white, Katsura’s yellow, and Kagura’s red. Their first training is to buy porn magazine from a bookstore without getting noticed. Katsura would have done great if it weren’t for the curry he was carrying. Katsura came after, but didn’t get to buy the JUMP magazine (she’s still young to buy a porn mag *lol*) because she accidentally got dog poo on her clothes. Gintoki came next, but his camouflage failed. XD; Last was Shinpachi who was able to buy the magazine with no problems because his existence was unimportant. *rofl* Poor Shinpachi! XDDD;

The Goninja, as they call themselves, went to Toyama Chintarou’s to rescue Elizabeth after their training. They also had a hilarious introduction of each character like Shinpachi as Ninja Holstein.

Katsura attacked recklessly as soon as he saw Elizabeth. They undergo various traps similar to that of Takeshi’s Castle (that’s what we call it here in the Phils.). In the last trap, they would have to face the Shinobi-5 led by Hattori Zenzou. Goninja wins of course after going through nonsensical and hilarious figting. Elizabeth wasn’t returned to them though because she really wasn’t there in the first place. Toyama Chintarou only used an Elizabeth doll to lure out Katsura.

Is it just me or does Gintoki have bigger muscles here? He looks so… Manly with those muscles. He also looks cute and HOT wearing Sa-chan’s glasses. XD; I’m glad this is another funny episode because I can’t seem to take seeing drama in this series. Oh, I wonder where Elizabeth went. She only went missing because she and Katsura had a fight over soba.

Before Ouka became a member of the government paranormal agency, it seems he’s part of some underground group that “raises grim reapers.” The entire episode isn’t about that though. Ouka went out without Kyouka knowledge. She was throwing a tantrum and all her children could do was watch. Yuuka though being an all-too-innocent girl mentioned that their Dad was dressed when he went out. Then Teika blurted out that they should keep quiet about the secret. This made Kyouka angrier than earlier and jealous because she thinks Ouka is cheating on her.

Ouka did go out, but to meet an old friend Shinigami. Kyouka chased after them. She had a short verbal argument with Shinigami then retreated because Ouka told her that her presence will only make things complicated. Poor Kyouka. Ouka seems to have matters to discuss with her Shinigami yet Shinigami is determined that they’re on a date.

Kyouka didn’t exactly go home. Instead, the kids and her came up with a plan to destroy the date. They also caused a ruckus in the amusement park, so Ouka and Shinigami were forced to go somewhere else. They find a creepy amusement named Slave War Amusement Park. They will go through a series of re-enactments of war and witness what’s like in the battlefield. Along the way, their train cart was destroyed and something or someone has been shooting at them. As Ouka thinks of a way to get out and asks Shinigami to throw a grenade to clear their way, Shinigami was possessed by someone called Odessa Ei. She wanted to directly attack Kyouka, but she freed Shinigami when an unknown voice told Odessa Ei to stop. She only did so for a little while — waiting for the right moment to attack or torture Kyouka.

Even though they were in danger, they still went to ride the ferris wheel. Only Shinigami and Ouka rode because Kyouka lost to Shinigami. During the ride, Shinigami must have sensed danger. She carried Ouka and jumped from their cart. Ouka thought it was double-suicide, but Shinigami only rescued Ouka from Odessa Ei who burned down the ferris wheel. D: A man named Suiar appeared to rescue the two.

That Suiar was the one who asked Odessa Ei to stop attacking. Kyouka demanded for answers to what she really is and why she was being attacked. Suire didn’t last long though. The body he was using broke down (it’s actually a robot). All of a sudden, everything around the park started moving. They were attacked again. They ran to the nearest haunted house. But Shinigami and Kyouka fell down in an underground dump to be drilled/shred into bits. They cooperated and was able to escape. Again, Odessa Ei used Shinigami’s body to kill Kyouka. Odessa Ei should have won. Thank goodness for Ouka for showing up at the last minute. He threw something wooden at Shinigami causing Odessa Ei to leave the body as well as her mask to fall off. Shinigami freaked out as she didn’t want to be seen without her mask because of her scar. She kept hitting the air with her sword and accidentally hit Ouka.

Kyouka got pissed and told Shinigami that her feelings for Ouka weren’t love… It’s that she doesn’t want to be hated by Ouka. Fortunately, Ouka wasn’t really killed. A part of his suit only tore off.

Odessa Ei and Suiar left finally. Odessa Ei sort of finally understood why Kyouka wanted to live in the human world.

Suiar gave a short background on Kyouka. She was formerly called Vanessa and was queen of the demon world. It’s not clear if she was driven away, but she made a wish to be human and seemed to be given the chance. Yet, her memories were erased so that people wouldn’t find out of the demon world. When she left, Odessa Ei was the successor. During her ruling, she was always compared to her charismatic sister. She thought it’s best to defeat Kyouka, so her people will start thinking she’s better.

I thought Odessa Ei would be some big time enemy, but when she just left in the end I thought otherwise. Shinigami would have been badass too with her mask (except she should change her “attire”). Since she’s not wearing it, she became all mushy and sweet. The ending was lame with Kyouka and her getting along. They were even blushing!

I totally neglected this series because of Keroro Gunsou.


Episode 05

Finally, the Midarezaki family HONEYMOON! Such a weird honeymoon, but it looks fun.

Kyouka had a runway made in front of their house (I wonder what happened to the neighbors? *lol*). XD The travel agency also acted like airport personnel to see the family off. The airplane was even custom-made for Kyouka. Must be nice to live that way, but I feel bad for all the people who have to be troubled for her.

The flight became a disaster because Kyouka tried to fly the plane causing it to crash to the water. They landed on an uninhabited island with the kids separated from their parents. First to arrive were Hyouka and Yuuka with Hyouka coming from the sky. He said that he checked around the area and that the others were unhurt. The four other kids arrived next. Gekka became what looked like a floater. XD And Ginka sat on Teika’s back while he paddled. XDDD They’re so cute! *roflmao* As soon as they arrived, Kyouka suddenly decided that it’s time to swim!

Teika and Yuuka play chase, Chika handcuffs Ginka to her as she will try to turn him into a man *lol*, Hyouka makes a sand castle, and Gekka is happily swimming. ^__^ After a long day of playing, they decided to search for a place to stay. It’s true what Ouka said — They shouldn’t have worn themselves out by playing without even knowing where to go right after especially on an uninhabited island.

But Kyouka has a pamphlet with directions how to get to the hotel. Weird. Hotel on an uninhabited island? They did find a hotel and Ouka finds this very suspicious. He is sure that Kyouka is behind this.

The hotel manger, Nishikura Akeru, shows them around and offers them exquisite food. Kyouka calls him Pierre though because of his attire — a white suit and a red bowtie. XD;;

After dinner, Ouka had a talk with Nishikura. He figures out that the bureau was troubled again by his wife into this vacation… And everything with it.

Unexpectedly, the hotel was invaded by some people… Or something! Hyouka goes to Ouka’s room to report what he knows about the situation. Ouka tells him not to kill, but to gather everyone and help protect the girls. He, on the other hand, will go to Kyouka’s room and punish her. He believes she’s the cause of this. But Kyouka is busying watching a romance-comedy anime. She can’t hear the noise and alarm because she’s wearing earphones (and an animal suit! SHE’S SO CUTE!!! HAHAHHA~). Anyway, they hear a scream so they ran out to the balcony. The monkies have taken Yuuka. Kyouka tries to attack, but was stopped by several monkies.

The family goes on a meeting to discuss the situation, but without Gekka. She had followed Yuuka and comforted her. She told her that it’s just a game. Kyouka uses her Cellphone skill to contact Yuuka. She sees that Yuuka’s treated nicely by the monkies. Kyouka tells her to try to search around for clues to determine her location. Yuuka walks around, finds a window, and she sees that she was brought to a floating island. Yuuka got frightened. She accidentally touched a Levistone — it’s a stone that is similar to what Hyouka has to make him fly. A voice tells Yuuka not to touch it then a room opens. Yuuka goes there and finds a monkey-looking old man.

The Levistone and an old man — it’s a hint that he’s somehow related to Hyouka.


Episode 06



The name of the professor is Saruwatari Inuhiko. He’s been living a lonely life on the floating island because people made fun of his looks. But he decided to live alone and make people of his. In the end, he admits to the truth that he needs to be with other humans… Someone who will take care of him. Thus the reason why the monkeys kidnapped Yuuka.

The professor may seem pitiful, but his actions make him otherwise. The rest of the family heads out to rescue Yuuka and Gekka. Kyouka comes up with a PARTY plan — Operation Feed the Scumbags. The first thing Inuhiko did was to stall the family, so that they wouldn’t be able to rescue Yuuka on time as he planned to turn her into a doll — somebody who will just obey his orders. The monkeys arrived, but they were the ones stalled. The party Kyouka planned was already on the go. Food and tables were served, there were dancers, and Pierre cooked nonstop. Then Kyouka told them she will give them more delicious food if they give her a crystal-looking blue thing. That thing Hyouka uses to levitate. It was also used for the island to float. The monkeys go back to the floating island to retrieve those. Because of the excitement, this caused the island to fall down. They panicked, but there was nothing else the monkeys can do. Hyouka took this opportunity to save Yuuka. As for what happened to the professor, he died. Before he did though, he came to understand how the monkeys care for him and that Hyouka was thankful that he was created.

There’s another happy ending for the Family Frenzy. I didn’t quite get their plan at first, but after seeing the outcome… Who can really resist free delicious food, huh? XD The really hilarious part was seeing Ouka, Teika, and Ginka dancing in a tube-style dress. Only Ginka was enjoying it.


Episode 07



The story in this episode isn’t related to any of the family members, but to a classmate of Yuuka. The classmate’s name is Tsubaki. She asked help from Yuuka because her brother Shuu who owns and cooks for a restaurant causes people to collapse when they eat his food. He’s known as an assassin chef. The chief of the neighborhood association had asked them to leave because people seemed to have been complaining about their food. Their father also visited them and told them they should stick to being assassins. He tells them they can’t even serve food that will not harm people.

The family arrives one night to test his food. They all praised his food, but there’s one who still collapsed — Chika. She regains consciousness though. She tells him that she understands now why people collapse with his food. So Kyouka decides to train him. This is for him to be of level to normal people. Shuu and Tsubaki’s mother is a good cook. Her recipes are very delicious and with Shuu’s strong strength (I guess?) for being an assassin, it’s too much for normal people to take.

I have nothing much to say about this episode. I wanted to see more about each member’s history. I wanna know more about Ginka.

Episode 02

It’s Yuuka’s first day at school. She was so nervous that she made a couple of mistakes which ended up her classmates laughing at her. Only one student seems to be concerned. At home, they’re all happy and excited as usual except Ouka, Teika and Hyouka. Kyouka wants to have the real deal wedding. Ouka thinks it isn’t necessary when it’s just for a job, but Kyouka insists because she finds it fun. Ginka was also game for it because he’s already thinking of what songs to sing. He plans on doing a Frenzy Sisters trio and that includes Teika and Hyouka.

A little later, Yuuka arrives home and finds them all busy talking about the wedding. Kyouka makes her fit various dresses. After deciding on a dress, Yuuka takes her leave and is about to go to her room when Teika tells her that there’s a faint smell of blood. He asks then if there’s anything wrong at school, but Yuuka tells him that he shouldn’t tell the others. She doesn’t want the ruin the mood of the family with her problems.

Yuuka goes off to school the following day. Teika and Hyouka watch her leave… It’s like they’re up to something. Ouka notices them. He tells Kyouka about this, but she tells him that they’re probably just practicing for the wedding as the Frenzy Sisters. XD

Hyouka bugged Yuuka, so that’s how they found out about the bullying. They rushed at the school to try and save her, but they couldn’t do anything. Hyouka explains that they are family yet not blood-related. Hyouka’s point is probably they will be asked about their relation with her. Even more so when they do not human. The two quickly rush to Yuuka as soon as the bullies left. They didn’t know that their father also followed.

After school, Yuuka has locked herself in her room. She left a note for her father in the refrigerator that tells of her feelings and that she wants the world to disappear. Everyone finds out about her problem and comforts her. To make her feel better, Kyouka planned a revenge and way for Yuuka to be accepted in her class. They made a short action skit with Gekka and Teika as the mean duo who suddenly attacks Yuuka’s classmates. Hyouka will act as the combat robot that Yuuka transforms into. XD Things almost went as planned (Ouka had to control all the action *lol*), but what matters is that Yuuka was finally accepted by her classmates. They even praised her for being strong.

Ouka and Kyouka pushed through with the wedding. It looked like a huge one and they had a number of guests. Probably most come from the Great Japanese Empire Paranormal Phenomena Bureau of Measures. :P

The bullying at school happens because of a certain girl. At this point, we don’t know her yet, but I’m sure we will soon. She ordered two of Yuuka’s classmates to bully her and even paid them to do it.


Episode 03



Poor Yuuka is still being bullied. It’s no thanks to her older sister who is angry at her for not staying in the Himemiya household anymore.

Yuuka was on her way to school, but she changed routes so that she wouldn’t have to encounter the bullies. In the other route, she finds her sister instead. She insists Yuuka to go back to Himemiya, but Yuuka of course doesn’t want to go back. She strangles her. Luckily, Ginka comes to the rescue. He scares Yuuka’s sister with a manly voice. XD; Yuuka’s sister was about to leave when she tells Ginka about where Yuuka comes from. Ginka is surprised. Looks like he and the Himemiya have some connection. Yuuka’s sister asks Ginka’s name. She was surprised when he told her… Much like Ginka when he found out hers. Her name btw is Himemiya Senko.

Later on, Ginka reveals that he was supposed to save Senko from the terrible household she lives in, but he didn’t. He feels bad for it especially when he’s living now with Yuuka.

It was already night time. Yuuka was still out. She’s getting beat up again by her classmates with Senko watching them. She’s even urging them to keep on beating her. Again, Ginka comes to the rescue. Senko laughs at him, but someone suddenly invaded her thoughts… Or something to that effect. We’re unsure who it is, but we know it isn’t Kyouka. Ginka can hear the things being said to Senko. There are water bubbles which I think is a hint. Is it Gekka doing this? Senko passes out.

Her terror doesn’t end there. Whoever it is, is invading her thoughts and scaring the heck out of her. She wakes up from her nightmare… This time, Kyouka’s threatening her. Ouka stops her and explains the situation to Senko. Kyouka then decides that they should fight against Himemiya as a way to save the 2 girls.

They infiltrated the promises with a surprise attack. It’s surprising that the Himemiya’s guards are too weak. XD; They should be the ones being beaten to shape them up.

They had Senko tested if she’s also a daughter of Enka. She isn’t really, but Kyouka cheated… Now she’s part of the Midarezaki family.


Episode 04

Chika, aka Senko, suggested to Kyouka to go out on a honeymoon on August 2. As that date is the traditional honeymoon date. This honeymoon will be different though because the whole family will go instead of only the married couple. Chika helps Kyouka look for an agency to book a trip and they were able to do on their 264th call — at the Sakurai Agency.

They visit the agency the following day to check what places the travel agent Chieri will suggest to them. It wasn’t a peaceful visit since Kyouka does like to make a “grand” entrance. Kyouka played around first before talking to Chieri. Things get messier because of the branch chief. He did some “tribal magic” and cursed the co-workers who always stand by Chieri. Kyouka, Chieri, and the other kids saw him by accident in his office dancing half naked. Kyouka thought it was some sort of welcoming gimmick for her.

The branch chief was then asked by Kyouka to accomodate them. He took this opportunity and kept Chieri out of his way. Ginka noticed something weird, I guess, so he and Chika followed Chieri and would rescue her everytime something seemingly accidental happens to her. But one time there were too late and Chieri was taken away by the cursed co-workers.

Kyouka and Yuuka asked for Chieri to discuss the trip, but the branch chief had other plans for them. He plans on doing everything even though evil so the sales will go to him. He shows this new device that will let their customers get a feel of the places they can go to. Kyouka played with it though until the machine went down. Then she got bored and told the branch chief they’ll be back after lunch. She also told him that what she wants to talk about is Mu.

During lunch, the branch chief cursed all the employees of the travel agency. He made them all help him to make sure he get the Midarezaki family to sign the contract. Kyouka and Chika made a loud entry again to the agency through the branch chief’s window. They see him again half-naked, but with a weirder costume.

He then shows them what they’re capable of. Kyouka almost gave up since everything she said they’re able to prove to her. But Chika didn’t want to just sign the contract without love or hard labor in planning. Then the other children arrive destroying almost everything. Ouka was also there, but to arrest the branch chief for illegal use of curses. XD;

Ginka was able to find Chieri, but she was still cursed. She takes Ginka as a hostage using a pointed stick. Ginka freaks out. The branch chief takes this opportunity to run away. But Kyouka throws Hyouka and Gekka to the branch chief, leaving him flat on the ground. XD;

Chieri snapped out of the curse and was surprised at what happened. Feeling bad about her attempt in hurting a customer, she said she isn’t fit for that job anymore. Kyouka scolds her, but to make her understand that quitting isn’t an option after all her hard work and that she should think about the customers who want to go on trips.

So far, nothing weird in this episode. I wish it’s another episode that will discuss about a character’s history. But I guess that’s too cliche and this series might end up getting boring.

A girl is being chased by the police for stealing fish. The number of police going after her is startling though because of a single fish. She was able to run away, but she lost her hold of the fish she stole. Her thievery doesn’t end there. She sees a fruit stand and grabs an apple. She was about to take a bite when a man suddenly stops her. Surprised by her cat tail and ears, he was even more surprised when she said she’s 20 years old. She looks like she’s only a grade schooler. Seems their meeting was no coincidence. Kyouka has been looking for the Great Japanese Empire Paranormal Phenomena Bureau of Measures and the guy (who introduced himself as Midarezaki Ouka) works there as a squad captain.

Ouka brings Kyouka there for her to meet the higher ups. He didn’t know that she was expected. He was then was assigned to a grave mission of saving the earth — by marrying Kyouka. XD He was very surprised, but he couldn’t resist. Not because he liked her, but he had no choice. He won’t be working only as a husband, but he would be looking after 5 children as well. Their next task is to look for them.

The children along with Kyouka are the children of Enka. A demon who lived thousands years ago who swore that his child will bring end to the world. That’s where Ouka comes in. He has to look after the children to make sure that nothing of such will happen. Fortunately, the episodes won’t be draggy with them looking for the children. They were all found in one day because, surprisingly, there are all within the area. They first found 4 children — a girl named Yuka, Gekka the jellyfish (or UMA as said by Kyouka *lol*), a robot named Hyouka, and a lion named Teika. After disastrous encounters and events, they went home to find another child. Ouka was relieved to see him because he thought there was someone he could talk to. But the son is actually gay.

Kyouka is hilarious! She has become my favorite character in this series even though her cat tail and ears are annoying. (Sorry, I dislike cats.) Her being frank, acting all high and mighty, and childlike at the same time is what makes her funny. She tries to act like a true mother even though she’s sometimes out of the line. (Who makes their children lick their parents’ shoes? *lol*) My favorite line of hers in this episode is (to Kyouka), “You obviously exist to play the loser role.”

Episode 41



So Gintoki tells Kagura to go back to her father. Kagura, shocked and left with no choice, does so. She wonders why Gintoki asked her to leave. Then there’s a short flashback about Kagura’s past with her family and the planet she came from. Her mother died while her father and brother were away working their asses off. Now it is understood why she came to Earth. In the airport, her father says how unkind of her friends to not see her off. Back at Yorozuya, Shinpachi freaks out when he found out Gintoki abandoned Kagura. He wanted to tell him how important the place is for her, but forgets it and quits.

Kagura was all gloomy in the plane. Her father was making a commotion as he badly needs to go to the toilet. The stewardess tries to stop him, but he charges through the doors and finds the baka-prince sitting on the toilet. XD While baka-oji is “busy”, his personal assistant is busy giving orders to those in charge of looking after the prince’s monstrous-looking pets. Accidentally, his assistant trips and knocks down a glass container where one of the prince’s pets are kept. Suddenly, that “pet” coming from the container grows huge and attacks the ship they’re all in (including Kagura and her father). Not only does it attack the ship, the monster goes to Shinpachi’s direction. (Shinpachi, climbing from very tall ladder, was there trying to stop Kagura from leaving Earth. Guards were after him even. *lol*)

Gintoki and their pet are doing some part-time work advertising a movie entitled Yakuza vs. Alien. But they were called by the movie manager and saw the live news on a monster attacking the Terminal. As soon as Gintoki sees Kagura fighting the monster alone, he rushes to the Terminal with Sadaharu. The monster was growing awfully huge, so it’s hard to tell how they will be able to defeat the monster.

Kagura is seen in the end of the episode lying on the ground w/ blood that seems to come from her stomach/front.

Cliffhanger!


Episode 42



This is the last part of this alien-attacks-the-Terminal story. Things doesn’t look very good for Umibouzu. He sees his daughter dragged by the alien. Gintoki arrives, exiting from a monster’s mouth. He was so near Kagura, yet he couldn’t reach out for her. And so, Kagura was quickly taken away. Umibouzu questioned Gintoki’s presence knowing he abandoned Kagura. Gintoki told him he’s not there to take away Kagura. He just doesn’t want her to die to some alien. Both of them give everything they got to kill the alien. Later on, the core of the alien drops off hanging from the bottom of the ship. It became so huge after taking lots of energy from the Terminal. On the core, they saw Kagura attached and then quickly sucked in. To add more to their problem, the Shogunate arrives with battleships. Gorilla (I forgot his name *lol*) tells him not to attack because there are civilians on the alien. But he doesn’t listen and presses the fire button of his ship’s cannon. On the other hand, Gintoki was able to free Kagura from the alien. She was on berserk mode though. He was able to wake her up by teasing her using her favorite snack. They were suddenly shot with the cannon, looking unprepared. But they were saved by Umibouzu and his extremely strong umbrella. @_@;

Man, Gintoki can be jerk sometimes, but I just like how he shows his care for others especially for Shinpachi and Kagura. He said that it’s odd how much he could advice and help others when he hasn’t experienced anything like having a family and caring parents. That’s actually applicable irl. Like to me, for example. I give advices to friends and acquaintances when I haven’t experienced their problems. I guess it’s because I’ve seen and learned a lot from other people’s experiences? Though when I’m in a pinch, I’m clueless on what to do.


Episode 43



Everybody believes Kagura left with her father, so now they’re looking for a new female heroine. Three females fight for that role — Catherine, Sa-chan, and Otae-san. Catherine gets disqualified most of the time because she’s not really the “every guy’s type.” It was creepy seeing her in a sailor-style school uniform. ^_^;;;

None of the girls win because they kept bickering and even threatening the guys as to who will win the new female heroine contest. Otae is hilarious, but with Sa-chan around, the episode gets funnier. XD Kagura shows up in the end and tells them that only she will be able to keep up with them. Which is true.

Haraken kept having dreams about Kana. His Aunt, concerned about him, had told him to have a thorough check-up at the hospital. The girls, on the other hand, are busy with other things. Yasako was supposed to start right away on her independent research, but got distracted when she saw Amasawa and her 2 underlings. Amasawa was going to capture another Illegal to complete whatever she’s trying to do. You know, I kind of understand her intentions — saving her brother simply put — but her method is confusing me. Why was she collecting those Illegals again? I mean, inside her body?

Yasako goes to the library to search online about kirabugs and its importance. While reading, she was startled when Haraken greets behind her. They went outside to talk about an obsolete space that she discovered from following Amasawa. Then she tells him about what Amasawa and her talked about in the hospital regarding her brother and the kirabugs. It seems Haraken gets an idea from that, but doesn’t tell it to Yasako. When Yasako was about to confess, as it seems to me, about something, Haraken cuts her off and tells her that they should check the next day the obsolete space. They didn’t get to meet the following day though since Haraken goes ahead of her. He searches frantically for Amasawa. He asks her 2 underlings, but they ran away from him. Things didn’t look too well with Amasawa when Haraken’s Aunt suddenly went to there to erase her encodes. The 2 underlings tried everything to chase the Satchii off. Only to no avail. During this chaos, Haraken finally sees Amasawa. He tells her that he wants to do a trade with her — his offer is that he’ll give her the access code to the Satchii if she will help him get to the other side. Yasako realizes that Haraken might have gone to the obsolete space without her since the obsolete space is near where Kanna died.

Wow, a lot (but nothing too complicated) happened in this episode. This took me days to figure out how to summarize the episode. It shouldn’t be too hard. I guess this episode wasn’t that interesting for me. The topless Haraken didn’t even make up for it. J/k! Anyway, Haraken is still obviously into Kanna. Whether he likes her or not, he believes that she is in danger. He plans on saving her by going to the other side. He must be thinking that if he takes back the what-seemed-like soul of Kanna to their normal world, Kanna would be alive and kicking again.

Yasako had a dream of 4-4-2-3 again, but the episode doesn’t revolve around that. Yasako and Fumie are left with finishing their research paper for the summer. Fumie wanted to finish it right away with what they only have. Yasako didn’t like the idea of just leaving it at that when they told Haraken they would help him. In the middle of their research discussion, Yasako gets a call from the hospital about her grandmother. Not only her grandmother created trouble in the hospital, she also became a patient when she was only visited a friend. The next scene is about the mystery guy with Haraken’s sister. He will be working in the same department as her but as a superior. So we get a hint that he’s not much of a mystery guy when he’s acquainted with her. :P

Yasako went back to the hospital to get the medicine her grandmother forgot. She suddenly hears voices similar to that when an obsolete space is nearby. She finds out it’s only Fumie’s little brother spying on Amasawa. Not only that, she sees the pictures of FUmie his Micet took including pictures of Yasako tripping or falling down a hole. XD She couldn’t The two end up watching Amasawa who was also in the hospital. Yasako sees a bed-ridden boy having the same scar with 4-4-2-3. She freaks out even more when she sees the room number Amasawa went in.

So we find out more about Amasawa’s past and her connection to 4-4-2-3. No wonder she’s a boyish biatch. XD

Episode 13


The episode is about Denpa who’s secretly raising an Illegal. His Illegal isn’t the dangerous type though. It’s rather afraid of humans except for Denpa. It likes him because he feeds it. Denpa named it Plesio. There used to be many of them, but they disappeared one by one until the last small one was left. It grew in time as it ate a lot. Plesios can only stay in dark places. Anything that’s light destroys their bodies. A little later in the episode, Denpa discovers that a building will be constructed where Plesio is living. So Denpa, Haraken, Fumie, and Yasako look for a place to relocate it. They did it at night, but because of many hurdles they didn’t get to arrive at the place they found for Plesio until dawn came. They try to hurry, but to no avail. Plesio saw factory chimneys that looked like his family. He desperately went to that factory, but the sun rose quickly. Poor Plesio. He was so cute even though he was all black and just curves. His shape is like how a kid would draw a dinosaur.

This is a really touching and sad episode. It’s hard to get attached to something whether it’s alive or not. We just have to accept the fact that nothing lasts forever, but memories do and that’s something we can forever keep in our hearts and minds.


Episode 14


More than half of this episode is a recap narrated by Fumie’s brother. He also shows us proofs of how his sister “abuses” him that he’s going to use to sue his siter when he becomes a policeman or lawyer. :P The rest of the episode is Haraken’s encounter with the mysterious guy who seems to be watching him and the other kids’ actions. He gives Haraken a warning about researching deeper on Illegals and whatnot. He also mentions to him about Dennou Coil.


Episode 15

Yasako goes at the other side of the Daikoku station to look for obsolote spaces, but ends up getting lost. Then three boys go after her as they had mistaken her to be Yuko Amasawa when one of them overhears Yasako’s mom call her Yuko. She ran away and was able to hide with the help of another 6th grader boy named Takeru. As they walk around the area, Yuko feels she has been there before. She tries to remember what happened to her at that place when she was little with the help of, once again, Takeru. He offered to help since he’s familiar with the place.

Yasako desperately runs through the place she thinks she’s been before. Then she discovers an obsolete space through Imago. But a lot of Kyuu-chan arrived and erased them before she was able to follow the fog along a street. Takeru also stopped her because he believes it’s dangerous if she goes any further.

It was already night time when Yasako arrived home. She takes a bath, thinks about Takeru and her mysterious past. Then the last scene is with Takeru on a phone call. He told whoever he was talking to that he met someone with Imago just like Kanna.

Man, some episodes get boring, but episodes like this deepen the mystery. The Kanna girl sure is interesting.

I’ve seen up to episode 20 of Dennou Coil. I should catch up on my summaries and reviews. -_-


Episode 11


Daichi plans to catch an Illegal so he could get a lot of metabugs. He came up with that idea after thinking about Isako’s activities. They got an Illegal with the help with Kyoko (Yasako’s younger sister). Daichi wouldn’t listen to Denpa who kept telling him that Illegals are dangerous. It was a very small fish yet it created a Space of its own. He fed the fish with random textures. It kept growing every time he feeds it. The fish grew so huge that it was already outside of his home and Spaces occupied in different parts of the town. Everybody was surprised. Tamako went out to find the culprit. She finds Daichi and arrests him for the trouble he made.

Denpa asks Fumie and Yasako to keep Daichi from being arrested. They didn’t know he was already caught. Megabaa, on the other hand, went to investigate. Tamako asked her for help. Before Megabaa agreed, she said Tamako should beg first. If Tamako does, she will forgive her for what happened 4 years ago. It wasn’t mentioned what happened 4 years ago unfortunately. Tamako agrees to this and bows her head. Megabaa accepted it and went to work on the metatag. Fumie snatches the metatag. She wouldn’t let Tamako have the metatag easily unless Tamako releases Daichi. Daichi was released as Tamako was left with no other choice. It doesn’t end there yet. Fumie tells Daichi to admit his defeat in their duel. Left with no other choice as well, Daichi bows his head and admits his defeat.

Even after the trouble Daichi caused, he hardly felt down. Though he was sad about the little fish he caught and fed.
