Kaze no Shoujo Emily – 14

Apologies for the late entry, but for some reason the raws took an unnaturally long time to show up n Share. I don’t like it, but it seems that even in Japan, this show isn’t that much viewed. I can imagine that Emily would be a hard character to swallow in a culture so often polite. In any case, in this episode, Emily gets into a fight with Ilse, and it exactly shows the reason why I like this show so much. In most anime, the serious fights like this one almost always lead to some kind of worst-case scenario, or it at least takes till the final episodes before it gets resolved, but in this show, it just brings the different characters closer together. Another charm of this show is that even though there may be the better and worse episode, for episode I just know that it will give me a warm feeling during watching. Compare that to other series, where it’s always a question whether an episode will feature some amazing plot twists, or just spends its time building up. I suspect that Aria is another one of these kinds of series? (*note to self: watch it someday*) By the way, one thing that surprised me was the fact that Teddy did spend most of the winter with his mother, inside the house. It’s not really put in the spotlights, but his mother does remain overprotective, and the only reason why he was probably allowed to go to the beach this episode was because he never really went out much during the winter. I think that’s the only really bad point of this series: Emily is an excellent character, but I want to see the other characters stand in the spotlights as well.]]>
