Short Synopsis: The search for true love! Warage Five Versus Groups of Punks II! What the heck is up with the main character?! Good: Is incredibly cheesy, knows this, and fully utilizes this. Probably the best episode so far Bad: Gonzo… animation… Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 Seriously, this show uses its main character in one of the most original ways I’ve seen in a while. Over the past few episodes, we’ve seen lots of different characters, the orange-haired Newtar actually looks like an extra right now, even though she’s on the top spot in the promo-art and the OP. During the first episode, we saw a girl who looked like her, just with pink hair. In the second episode, we saw a very small flash of her, falling down a castle, and right now, we get to see even more of her when she runs past the screen for about one second, wearing black angel-like wings. Oh, and she also appears later in the show, and she actually has a short line, after disappearing again, as fast as she appeared. ^^; Also, after watching this episode, I’m starting to notice more and more patterns. Apart from the Waragetcha sketch, the fishing scenes, the news and the introduction, the major part of the first half of the episode focuses on some girl who has some kind of problem, with the silver-haired bishie-Cognite appearing in some way. We also have a scene in which the Pandemos tries to impress Warage Pink (or Chuu), and she ends up doing something entirely uncute afterwards, which in turn, makes that such a cute scene. ^_^ There’s also this very strange scene, in which we go back to real life and see some weird man/men do something ordinary in a very, very, very strange way. I still don’t understand it. Still, I’m having more and more problems figuring out who is who. Not only because of their lack of names, but because some characters show up in different clothes or hair. The Warages only made this more confusing when it seems that they’ve all got a second identity (Warage Black OMG O_o). And it indeed seems that Chuu is Warage Pink. But the Elmony newscaster, is he the same as the one who does the introduction? But I’ve also seen a green-haired male Elmony. He must be someone else. I think. A copy of the silver-haired male Cognite with blue hair didn’t make this easier. ^^; Anyway, this episode yet again was loads of fun. Some of the jokes were incredibly creative, other were just too cheesy that they became funny, while other scenes were just too stupid for words. I’m also a huge fan of the smileys this show uses. ^_^ (Also, is it me, or was the female newscaster working on her accent during this episode? ^^;)]]>

I love this show. In the past, before I became an anime-fan, I used to play my fair share of anime as well, and I love how this show parodies all kinds of clichés and aspects of your usual MMORPG. This show plays into some crossover world between a MMORPG and a cute fantasy-world, and I love how it combines the two. ^_^ Still, I’ve been wondering during this episode… who the heck is the main character? I originally thought that it was the pink-haired girl of the previous episode, but she didn’t appear during this episode at all. This makes me suspect that the real main character is still hiding somewhere, waiting to be introduced. In fact, I think we saw a small glimpse of her when she fell down the huge castle. It also seems that every episode has a number of returning sketches, and a number of random ones. The first returning sketch is the introduction, in which the Elmony and the white haired Cognite introduce the episode, and explain something about the world of MMORPGs. In this case: dying. We see them bickering while on the background, a Pandemos gets slaughtered. (If you’re wondering what Elmony, Cognite and Pandemos is, that’s how the races are called. The human-like beings are called Newtar). Another sketch which also seems to return every episode is the fishing sketch, in which random characters, quite often with Warage Pink included, randomly sit and wait for fish to bite. We also have the Warage Sentai Team, who does random MMORPG-things. During the last episode, they were PK-ing, right now, they try to enter a dungeon, but get too scared because of all the rumours floating around. ^^ The final returning sketch is the news broadcast, in which we have the same Elmony as before on the scene, this time with a newscaster being a yellow-haired Cognite. This time, the Elmony wants to interview someone but this guy seems to be asleep. ^^; The rest of the episode is filled with random scenes of characters acting cute. Warage Pink is often seen in small scenes, often accompanied by the traveller-Pandemos. I think he’s trying to impress her, but either fails, or she does something incredibly scary, like eating a bat alive. This episode also introduced a girl who dislikes fighting, so she tries to find ways to live in this world, without having to fight monsters… and fails miserably. ^^ The male Cognite also returns this episode, but he isn’t quite as fortunate as he was during the previous episode. We first see him get beaten up by two sandworms, who appeared in front of him while he wasn’t expecting it, and later in the episode, he returns into a super-cute chibi-form, only to get slain by a bunch of axe-wielding swines, along with his companion who gets beaten up just as miserably.]]>
