Moar Maou
So, we last established that I love Maou, right? Still true. Trying to keep up and actually download the newer ones, even though the files are huge. D: But since I have nothing better to do with my life, and I don't really care about the Olympics much, more reviews!


Maou, Episode 2: Pedo Bear Approved!

So we start off at the funeral of That Guy, while our hero discusses the plot with the other funeral goers.

Toma: I wonder who the tarot killer is.
Some Guy: idk, but I bet he walks in slow motion and carries a symbolic black umbrella.
Ohno: *LURKS EVILLY*

Then Toma smokes angstily in a bar, and Toma probably shouldn't look as sexy while smoking as he does. :\ And then aww, quality time with his criminal friends, getting drunk, insulting each other, and starting brawls.

Toma: Let's have reunions more often, guys!
Everyone: *KICKBITEPUNCH*
Ohno: *LURKS EVILLY*

WTF at the playground scene. I do love Naruse's evil insanity, but I have to say that pedo bear stunt was pushing it. I'm surprised he doesn't have candy, and a rickety van, for prime abducting ease.

Even more tragic Ohno backstory! His brother murdered and his mother succumbing to an unnamed ~jdrama illness~

I've come to realize that Naruse is a weird combination of Light (all the crazy, brain hurty planning), the Joker (leaving cards), and the Riddler (the taunting riddles). NARUSE SHOULD BE A BATMAN VILLAIN I SAY.

This psychic girl is really fail, by the way. You'd think that spending time around someone of such epic evil would send of some signals to a PSYCHIC of all people, but she instead tries to get a date with him. :\ Which she actually sort of does, by getting him to the cafe. Intuition: You're doing it wrong.

LOL OH SHIT TOMA TOTALLY COCKBLOCKED OHNO AT THE CAFE. And once again, she gives us nothing useful with her reading.

Seer Girl: It was with a gun in the hotel!
Toma: Was he walking in slow motion?
Seer Girl: No, I think it was Colonel Mustard

I sometimes forget how fucked up our gun laws are here until I see how people react to the possibility that someone MIGHT have a gun in dramas. Toma doesn't need a gun, he beats criminals to a pulp with his bare hands like a civilized person.

Ahahaha, I really love the contrast between Toma's frantic running when he realizes his dad's not the target, to Ohno's lurking in slow motion.

OH SURE, KILL THE FAT FRIEND INSTEAD. D: D: I'm a little disappointed it wasn't his dad, I bet he and Kurosaki's dad would have had a good time in hell together. idk.

Cut to the psychic girl with Ohno, still not getting a clue. I think she needs a new job.

Episode 3: Murderous Lawyers and the Psychics Who Love Them

We begin this week's episode of Code Blue - wait, no, Maou, with the doctors failing to stop an asthma attack. Good job, guys! Even Toma gets in on that action. Dr. Pi would have been able to do it.

After frantically trying to administer CPR, Toma gets all angsty and TOMASMASH on us. His angst is large and unruly. Please to be writing a crossover slash with Kurosagi someone.

We move on to see one of Toma's useless friends in his ~forbidden love~ tryst. I bet Ohno totally gets off on this kind of stalking.

Moar scenes with psychic girl and Naruse. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to want her together with Toma, but I ship her and Ohno like whoa. Fail!psychic and win!psycho = beautiful pairing.

Speaking of being a fail psychic, once again we get nothing from her reading: a harmonica and... a weathervane! And a dandelion! And a garbage truck! And a puppy! She's just pulling stuff out of nowhere, I swear.

Reasons why Ohno is so good at playing evil: the way he can sneer and patronize like nobody's business. When he's offering his "condolences" to Toma, you can just sense his giddiness over being teh winnar.

OH HAY THERE, I SEE YOU STILL STRUTTING IN SLOW MOTION.

That little girl is adorable, and shady. I think she's the evil mastermind behind it all.

Question: So am I supposed to care about these side characters somehow? Because Toma's friends are all assholes, and their subplots only prove them to be more so. I'm Team Naruse on this one. You have my blessing to kill all of them.

Episode 4: When Otakus Attack

This girl never fails to amaze me. She's terrible at reading people, considering she's a psychic.

Toma: OMG I'M A MURDERER AND GOING TO HELL. D:
Shiori: Is something bothering you?
Toma: OMGAGONY.

Then we get our textbook Otaku character. He's not very inconspicuous about his involvement. Favorite part of the episode: Toma catches up to him to try and question him, and then he RUNS LIKE HELL. Action!Toma apprehends him, though, no worries.

Then Toma continues his one-man pageant of self pity by confessing to Shiori through a bookcase. He might have done better in an actual confessional.

LOL OHNO GIVING SORA THE EVIL EYE. You better show that four year old who's boss.

Meanwhile, in another plot...
Some Asshole: Hey, Toma's douchey friend! Get a girlfriend!
Toma's Douchey Friend: LOL I have yours already.
Some Asshole: What was that?
TDF: Sorry, just foreshadowing. Now I need to go home and fight with Toma's other douchey friend, who has no relevance to anything at all, just so you remember he sucks!

Tally of Ohno's slow motion lurking of the episode: three times, I think? Maybe more. Always lulzy.

I want to see a karaoke scene with Naruse singing Over The Rainbow. Just so you know.


Today I found two nearly finished fics, and thought about finishing and posting them. Clearly I did not do this. :\ Productivity, what is that again? I might still do it, since it would be nice to have something accomplished. I look for small victories these days, since I feel useless otherwise.

Oh, and I finished reading Watchmen early this week! Only to find out that FOX has fucked the movie over, possibly forever. Woe is me. D: But seriously, that book? Fucking amazing. Once I finished it, I kind of had to absorb the whole thing for awhile, the last few chapters were overwhelming.

I might be meeting with the guy on Sunday. Maybe. If the plans work out. And granted I won't fail and wimp out on it.
