Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi - I prefer the new Saitohimea!

by feal872. August 2011 21:16

Hello everyone,

Here we are to talk again about Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi that with the fourth episode start to shed some light about what will be the content and the focus of this series. Fanservice apart, of course, as that is being made pretty clear by these four episodes! (By the way, the OP animation is in some scene almost criminal)

In this episode the main focus is taken by Saitohimea "fighting" against one of her creation that want to take her away from our protagonist to protect her. While the whole emotional affair was well done, I am not sure why they couldn't cooperate together to improve the defense of Saitohimea? Why only one of the two must be with her?!

We also finally understand clearly that the seven deaths counter reset after a certain number of minutes making our protagonist more invulnerable than ever. Unfortunately he's also quite stupid and continues to get impaled by pretty much everything that moves, so seven lifes may not be enough.

Another important note regarding the episode is that Saitohimea get "wild" at the end of the episode trying to seduce our protagonist and this is another big question mark of this series. Why our protagonist isn't jumping on her accepting her proposal?! Laughing

Going far away from the main protagonist, on the other side of the fence we have Haruka Shigure going demon (judging from the OP it will be an ally, so I don't really have a big worry about her well-being) and explanations about why Gekkou's sword doesn't work on the Tenma. (What a convenient plot device, the only race immune to the sword is the enemy army...)

At this point after four episodes we are here with a lot of questions about the future; the most important batch of questions are related to the evil Hinata Kurenai. (Fukuyama Jun). Why is he still alive? I thought we saw clearly the ball being cut by Gekkou in the second episode. Who are the Tenma and why they follow Hinata if they are so powerful? Why they want Saitohimea dead?

There is plenty of material to be covered judging from the light novel (8 + 3 volumes) and I'm really curious about the length of this anime adaptation. Will it be 13 episodes or 24/26 episodes?! 

Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi

Concluding, this series has been highly underrated compared to other titles, but till now has kept a consistent level of quality for four episodes and I'm find myself more eagerly waiting for a new episode of this compared to other series. (though I admit that sometime the fanservice is a little too much Tongue out)

I'll continue to follow this, let's hope to get more Haruka/Mirai screentime in the following episodes!

See you soon,

Many many things happened...and that's good so. I don't understand why some people complain that it goes too fast, I like it that way so we don't need to go through episodes of explanations, character development etc. before something happens. The only thing I'm interested in is when will be the next episode.

"Why our protagonist isn't jumping on her accepting her proposal?! " -he knew there's something fishy when she started suddenly act like this

Yeah, the pace is fast, but not in a bad way. Its nice from time to time to watch a series that doesn't dedicate lots of time explaining, but instead just shows you the story's content.

The waiting is always a pain when following on-air series.


Honestly, even if I knew I would have jumped anyway. She has too charm!

Considering the fact that he has seven lives - he should be one of the most powerful characters in the show...but no, he gets killed a lot.

I have to add that he gets killed by ANYTHING that moves. Never saw someone dying so many times in a single episode.

In KoreZombie he doesn't die. He is already dead! Its slghtly different.


Oh, so it wasn't a transformation due to some demon influence, but she was demon from the start! Well, hopefully we'll get her in the main team soon enough.

Had no idea it had an light novel adaption until a few days ago. The other three mention is actually a spinoff called Kurenai Gekkō no Seitokaishitsu. It is starting to win me over, but still some glaring problems I do not like about it. Although, major improvement over the first three episodes for sure.

Himea's little personality swap was quite interesting near the end (not only by the end of the ep, but also what was mentioned in the previews)

Yeah, but they adapt spin-off as well sometimes so it was worth mentioning.


Yeah, there is enough story development ahead for us, I am wondering why the Tenma are hunting Himea...
I mean, she's no harm to them as she don't want to fight. What they want to use her for? Again as a lab test subject?!

I just can't see the appeal behind this. I'll give it a couple more episodes, but it just doesn't entertain enough when the student body president isn't onscreen.

I, too, don't like the main character, but I'm entertained by both the evilness of Gekkou Kurenai and the cuteness of the various girls. (Especially Mirai and Haruka)
Let's see what will happen in the future.

I remember something like that as well, but it has been quite some time from the last time I read a LN translation. (Spice and wolf was the last one!)
