Hello everyone,
Today after two weeks of wait I had to receive another round of torture watching the most cute and fuwa-fuwa series of this whole year. I'm talking about the second and third episode of Ikoku Meiro no Croiseè that till now looks like a cute moè Aria clone with great qualities.
Why? Well, because till now everything related to the simple life of a girl into a foreign country while she discover the many wonderful things of the new place where she live with her friends. Doesn't this sounds incredibly Aria!?
These two episode did not have much development in terms of storyline, but focused in what the director is most able to work that is on Yune's sweet cuteness. (each and every scene has Yune doing something cute, its...wonderful!)
To be honest Victorique, Alice, Dalian and the other girls fail greatly in terms of cuteness compared to our Yune! (But anyway, the focus of their story shouldn't be cuteness like in this case...)
We get also a nice glimpse of Claude's personality that turns out to be a rather reliable main character that you can easily like even if its a little hard-headed sometimes. I would actually like to see those two get together by the end of the series!
The artistic direction of this show is keeping up a good job and I'm rather excited to get more of these funny little sketches in which Yune makes strange faces to express her own emotions. (Loved the umeboshi scene, especially for Claude's reaction)
Next episode will likely insert a brief flash of drama (don't really expect for it to last long) when the blonde girl will try to force Yune to become "her property" in exchange for the kimono of Yune's mother. I expect an angry Yune kicking her ass all over the Gallery!
They'll likely likely become best friend right after though...as its the only teenager femal character in the main cast excluding Yune.
Why the next episode isn't already here? I think I have an addiction syndrome...
See you soon,
