I'm going to catch episode 3 in a while.
Overall, I'm enjoying the anime. I didin't know it was shoujo-ai at first, but sure, it will be a good "learning" experience xD The story looks alright. The characters are indeed cute, no problems there ^_^

Hmmm, it seems like episode 4 shifted to a different "triangle" in the Spica side of the school. And that would be with Hikari, Amane, and Yaya. The episode itself was pretty cliched, but it didn't matter to me because it was cute. 8-)

Basically Hikari really admires Amane a lot, and she couldn't wait to sing her song with the choir in the congratulatory ceremony. Unfortunetely she was so nervous that she started singing before the others started. After she realized her mistake, she got embarrassed and didn't sing in the ceremony.

And then stuff happened mostly with Hikari being somewhat angsty. Though in the end when Hikari was singing in the morning at the stables, Amane heard her voice. She pretty much appreciated her voice and told her that she doesn't like being an idol because it's embarrassing. After those two decided to can call each other by their first names, Amane took Hikari back to the dorm like a prince taking back the princess on a horseback.

Episode 5.....gothic lolita maids, FTW!!! 8-)

But it basically about how the first year student Chiyo really admires Nagisa on a few occasions and wanted to do everything to serve her. But of course stuff goes wrong against her favor. She cries, and Nagisa forgives her yet she still cries because she's a clutz. The part where she bang her head agaisnt a table was funny and unexpected though. :lol:

I gotta catch up with this. I'll watch 4 now and 5 soon. Still don't know how I feel about this show yet. Maybe it'll change once I watch these two.

Episode 6 is much better, and it actually foreshadowed a plot about Shizuma and her problems. It also looks like that Nagisa is going to attempt to help her. Nonetheless this episode got some decent development for Shizuma, and there were a good number (non-yuri unfortunetly :cry: ) of Nagisa x Shizuma moments.

It's episodes like this that keep me with the show. I want to know what is up with Ms. Vampire's attitude. It's like she is about to jump out that window any day now. I still can't get Marimite out of my head though. However Strawberry Panic isn't as cute so I can still distinguish the two.

Is it me or does Ms. Vampire remind you of a female Yue from Cardcaptor Sakura?

She is completely Yue in drag. Even that attitude is similar except Yue is less of a groper. Maybe she is Yue if he could PMS. I smell Strawberry Panic CCS crossover fanfic. lol

If that's the case, I consider Tamao to be synonymous to Tomoyo and Nagisa to be synonymous to Sakura (only Nagisa is a bit more dense and somewhat submissive). :o

Now episode 7 was very, VERY yummy. So yummy that it actually deserves to be spoiler tagged!

It seems like word is getting out about the relationship between Amane and Hikari. This also introduces to the evil lesbian couple Kaname and Momomi who are going to use that fact to destroy Amane. The thing is that Kaname is eyeing for the Etole position, but of course reports show that Amane is better qualified. So Kaname and Momomi planned to trick and trap Hikari and get her to forget about Amane by having Kaname seducing her. 8-)

Obviously that failed since Amane came to the rescue.


Dammit, we need more plots like this like similar to what happened to Kannaduki no Miko!!! :P

Those comparisons are vaild.

I just watched ep 7. Those two can do whatever the hell they want with each other but when you go f*cking around with other people they crossed the line. If I was Hikari I would have bit the hell out of that trick and then proceeded to kick her friend's ass. But alas, I am not so we saw what we did. What about poor Yaya? Is she ever going to get her love confession? It's not fair dang it!

I saw ep 8 today. It was overall cute with a lot of detective work going on. The only thing that got me in this episode was when Yaya and Hikari went to the chapel after being soaked. Then Hikari asked Yaya if there was someone she liked after Yaya held her from the back. When Yaya said "It's a secret" in Hikari's ear Hikari pulled away. I wonder if Hikari knows that Yaya likes her or if she is getting that feeling. It seems like when Yaya gets Hikari pinned or something Hikari doesn't mind too much. I know she is facinated with horse girl but I can't help but wonder if there might be some love for Yaya in there too. Because of that I can't help but find myself more interested in Yaya's character and motives versus Vampire girl (who is seeming less vampire-ish lately.) Hmmm...maybe I just like the underdogs more.

You know what...? For a shoujo-ai anime, there hasn't been one legit on-screen kiss for 8 whole freakin episodes! :o Sure, there's near-kisses, implied making out, and everything else a romance anime shoukd have, but... day-um... Kannazuki no Miko at least got ONE legitimate kiss by the first episode!

Cute show, liking it a lot so far.

I heard the series is 26 episodes long so the beginning episodes might be the "calm before the storm", if you know what I mean. :wink: :twisted:
