Back in business

Escaping from the clutches of Smooth Moves (single player can only get you so far, waiting for the weekend), I am back to good old anime watchin'.

Tokimeki Memorial Only Love (Ep.15) - A rare episode of TokiMemo that's not focused on any of the students; a nice change of pace, really. This episode deals with the life of Haruka-sensei, how she copes to be a late 20's working single female and the pressure that surrounds her. The students celebrate her birthday, which is kinda sweet, and got her teaching enthusiasm back. Actually this ep strikes a familiar chord since I'm a sensei too ^^ I also forget that Momoha (Manabi Straight) = Mina (Tokimeki), though there is an obvious different tone to the roles.

Meitantei Conan (Ep. 460) - Kobayashi-sensei (why do these eps all seem to centre at sensei's today?) sets up a detective game for the class. Conan is soon removed since his intelligence solves the problem too quickly for the class to enjoy. Not the greatest ep (partly due to Conan's absence) but one new student, Maria-chan, is chou-kawaii~~ and in the end of the day, that's enough to justify the 22-min ep lol. I still prefer to watch 2- or 3-parters on Conan much more, gives it much more airtime to develop the content/plot.

Les Miserables is next, I think, and Hidamari Sketch is also on the block. Will be back tomorrow to discuss them.
