Hello everyone,
Let's go and talk about the 8th episode of Cube X Cursed X Curious that marks the end of the Shiraho/Sovereignty arc and takes us close to the ending of the series first season.
Yes, only one character to introduce in the last arc and this series will come to an end. Hopefully if the sales will be high enough we'll have another season in the future.
I quite liked the addition of Shiraho and Sovereignty in the main cast as supporting characters. It would have been too much "unnatural" if the two started living with Haruaki as well creating a real harem...
The episode show us the reasons behind Shiraho actions tied to avoid Sovereignty cure her own curse, she was just a bit scared of losing the boy/girl she loves once the curse was removed completely.
Despite the hard and complex behaviour, Shiraho turns out to be quite a cute girl when faced with a possible death of Sovereignty, imploring to stop to Fear and Kirika.
By the way, did you notice that they tortured only the male version of Sovereignty? Maybe it was some sort of "compensation" after letting us see Mummy Maker's cruent death...
So this was the power of the most beautiful doll of all times, the incarnation of woman beauty. Basically the final doll and woman is a clumsy maid with a big rack...
Ok, joking aside Sovereignty is quite a nice girl herself, but I'll be careful enough and decide to avoid calling dibs on her. You know, she may get back to male form at anytime...:|
Shiraho is instead in my to-call-dibs list, even if she will be a quite a tough girl to conquer given her deep love for Sovereignty!
I have to say that this series while one of the less anticipated of the season turned out to be the more consistent and high quality of the bunch, with stable animation, nice character design and alluring storyline.
The storyline follows the clichè of the anime world, but manages to expand them with gore and other approaches rarely put together with a light hearted comedy/fanservice series.
Next episode, judging from the preview title name, will focus on the new character/girl/tool and start the final arc. I wonder what kind of voice will this new character have...
Concluding, this series is continuing to prove itself solid. The animation is stable in terms of quality and the voice acting is great!
I'll be sure to follow and blog the future episodes as well!
See you soon,
