Episode reviews for the second season Options

[Dr. Casey]

I'm going to order MKR Season 2 for my birthday coming up, so I'll give my thoughts on the episodes after watching them like I did with the first season.

Episode 31: Chizeta's Mobile Fortress and a Powerless Hikaru

I really enjoyed the opening scene with Aska and those other two attempting to do evil laughs. The boy wasn't too good at it, but that old man's laugh was awesome, not creepy like Aska said. I guess the kid will get better with age. In the next scene with the girls and Ascot... man, Caldina's comments must have really embarassed him. Good thing Umi's an idiot and wasn't able to figure out what was going on. The bath scene was the best thing ever. XD Presea's breasts are rather nice. Mmm... anyway, some people say that Hikaru's "Do guys like large breasts?" question was a little too naive for her age, but I don't really think so. 14's still a kid, after all. Plenty of people are clueless at that age.

I noticed that Lafarga didn't say a single word during the scene with the four guys. I know you're supposed to be the silent and brooding swordsman, Lafarga, but this is only the second scene you've appeared in this season. You need to make better usage of your screentime. Alcyione looked surprisingly peaceful when she awoke... made me think at first that she might turn over a new leaf, but the rest of the scene showed otherwise. Alcyione mixing Lantis up with Zagato not for a brief moment but for almost an entire minute made me wonder just how happy the guy could have made her. Emeraude was in the way the whole time Zagato was alive... romance can be a pretty ruthless game at times.

Finally, I have to say that I really like those two sisters. Tatra's calmness is appealing in a way (I like studying calm people because I think it's a good temperament to have), but Tarta is definitely my favorite of the two sisters. She's a cool character and her facial expressions are the best. I also really like the Chizetan accent. Speaking of accents... changing the dialogue to "So do all Chizetans have a southern accent like Caldina?" was a clever change from whatever dialect was referenced in the original. I'm generally against tampering with the original script, but it's fine in cases like this where it's necessary to work.

Rating for Episode 31: Good

Badass Scene of the Episode Award: The old guy laughing is perhaps the most badass thing I've ever heard.
