Kami-Sama no Memo-Chou what the heck do you think you’re doing you only have 13 episodes.
This is what I mean by this show acting like it’s twice its length: I mean this episode standalone was very good, but in the context of this series the creators pretty much wasted one valuable episode. I mean, Nemoto’s background was very good and all, but do the creators really want to focus on such a minor character when there’s enough gold buried underneath the main cast? The writing and mystery of this series really are great, so it’s very annoying when the creators keep dodging them…
But yeah, this episode. It was a bit bizarre, suddenly deciding to go with a baseball episode of all things, but it was fun to watch. Especially Alice showed a totally different side of her when she actually went out to the field to try batting. It obviously wasn’t meant to be believable at all, but it’s a good way to flesh out the main cast. It was fun. Heck, even the fanservice was nearly completely toned down. It’s just completely the wrong time for it.
What’s more: the previous episodes promised us some awesome backstory on Alice. And yet the final arc of this series seems to focus on Ayaka. Which is nice and all, but that does leave us with a main character with gaping holes in her back-story. I was really looking forward to that story of hers, so it’s a bloody shame that we won’t get to see it.
Rating: * (Good)
Hmm’m. It would be really nice if Memochou got another season. Then we might get to see other characters background too and some more mystery episodes.
Last week when I saw the next week preview I was like “psgels will call this a wasted episode in a 13 episode series”. 😛
It’s only right the series finishes with Ayaka….
This is a prelude to the final arc for this season.
2nd Season is needed badly…
I loved the baseball theme – & would have liked even more if they’d been in orange & black like my fave team.
Well the episode wasn’t bad but like Psgels said, for a 13episode series this is a waste. If the show gets a 2nd season (we can hope, can we) then it will give the show a chance to explore fully his large cast.
