Onimai Episode 5

Experiencing outside world can be a fascinating but scary thing but once the first step is taken the rest would come swiftly. Once again a very fun and cheerful episode that may possibly had the cutest drawings yet in my subjective view. Such an enjoyble show.

It is adorable seeing the blob on Mihari's expression as she bursts into tears that Mahiro can finally properly do the daily activities she struggled before. It is a core element of show to socialize Mahiro from a shut-in she used to be to someone that can hang around friends.

Today we have reached the peak of Arc System Works promotions as over the course of Bind shows we got to progressively see more content culminating in a video ad above arcade. On a completly unrelated note this game rocks and you should play it if you're into fighting games.

The sudden brust of expression as art style shifted like that is a trait that Imamura often has and since it is known that they put a lot of amount of work into Onimai, supervising plenty of cuts these are not unexpected to witness. They certainly look distinctinve.

I suppose gaming in arcade was not something a middle schooler can hope for during these days and getting scolded when outside as one of your first experiences can certainly be discouraging. Poor Mahiro probably got trauma from that encounter. Truant officers are scary.

Those are so simple moments but they make for such an engaging experience time passes quickly but unfortunately that did not seem to be the case as Mahiro's head exploded out of inability to handle such conversation in hair salon but well can't be helped. It wasn't that bad.

I could only think of Eminence as such close up is fresh in my mind and it completly caught me of guard. It is miniscule and perhaps meaningless but it catches attention and is kind of dope looking. I may run out of things to say but there is so much to talk about.

This was adorable as Kaede put it and god I know this is not really that big of a deal but it brings such a smile I can't help but be amused by it. Certainly moments with Kaede are the most enjoyable for various reasons or rather I guess it depends.

It seems like Momiji and Mahiro are getting along quite nicely with having some very nice conversations and possibly start hanging out more. It may not be what Mahiro can contribute to but she does get to see how Momiji feels, obviously envious of Kaede. That is obvious I know.

The group is increasing once more as Momiji interferes with Mahiro's life by bringing more friends and I can't wait to see what funny and amusing interactions they would bring to the table. It has really been a good and relaxing show, especially this episode.

This time endcard was drawn by Kana Ishida who conveyed a Halloween party occurance that my one day happen. Ah that pumpking reminds me of a type of censoring in a different show. I'm having such a blast every single week. It can really be wholesome too.
