Hello,
Let's talk a bit about the seventh episode of the winter season 2011/2012 anime series Rinne No Lagrange that continues to entertain us with a greatly done mix of drama, comedy and fanservice.
They tried to save the character of Muginami (after all the hate-scenes of the last two episodes) with a greatly done space drama about a poor small loli Muginami going around with nearly no food on a dead planet only to meet Demetrius (Villagiulio).
Did they manage to make her stand again in my rankings? Yes, unfortunately I have a weak side for poor girls. Well...she's still third (Madoka and Lan are awesome), but back in the normal cast without too much extreme hate for her...:P
The episode is focused entirely on completing the three girls friendship's development. This way they managed to complete the first arc and assemble a solid Vox team in order to be able to fight off stronger enemies in the future.
To be honest, I'm not sure about what is Villagiulio's purpose, why stop fighting after the "Flowers of Rinne" bloomed instead of destroying the military base? What is he trying to achieve?
The personality of the characters in this story are filled with shades of grey in which you really don't know who's to trust as a friend and who to despise as an enemy...:|
Eels! They are, of course, seafood (never tried them to be honest, so I don't know if they're actually good or not), but also the final weapon of every kind of fanservice scenes in anime!
We have to thank Lan for this common example of a proper usage of eels by a beautiful girl! We need all anime girls to learn from her, even Madoka and Muginami! :D
It was quite a bit from the last time I saw eels used in fanservice scene (the only other case I remember is in Maburaho in the long past 2005).
Next episode seems to be introducing a new character in the cast that judging from the preview its turning out to be a big pervert. (that boob grab on Madoka was awesome :D)
I'm not sure if the new character will be the new girl named Gurania (as alex informed us in a comment last week), but I'm quite looking forward to what they'll be able to create with the newly assembled cast.
We'll also have some random light-hearted moments in the park "Seaworld" that will likely show us a very cute Lan going around pursuing some whale. :P
Concluding, Rinne no Lagrange is still an incredibly enjoyable series and a must-watch for anyone who is looking for a light hearted action story revolving around the friendship between three girls.
See you soon,
