Konnichiwa Anne – 18

Oh for god’s sake! The start of this episode really spelled out promise: with an episode title of “Love’s Course”, and a start of the episode that showed a lot of Eggman, this seemed like a great episode in which we finally get some in-depth look at his back-story. But that turned out to be pretty much a false hope when HENDERSON butted in again. This episode wasn’t about Eggman’s past love, it was about Henderson FALLING IN LOVE with Eggman. What a let-down! Henderson has really turned into the Saji Crossroad of this series, and I’m sure that this series would have been much better if it wasn’t for her constant whining and cheesy morals. Sure, the episode around Randolf would have been a tad annoying, but at least he managed to grow into an interesting character after that. Henderson just continues to be downright obnoxious, she continues to overshadow all of the other characters with her cheesy, dull and uninteresting problems and she sticks out in this series like sore thumb. And to think that usually it’s the kids that are annoying! Henderson: you’re a grown adult, for god’s sake! Grow the bloody hell up and move far away from this series! I really don’t feel like summarizing this episode. The reason why I started doing these summaries was because I loved Porfy no Nagai Tabi, and I wanted other people who had problems understanding the raws to have a few pointers. Porfy really was an incredibly well crafted series, with imaginative and yet realistic situations that Porfy was thrown in. It’s a shame that Konnichiwa Anne couldn’t live up to its standards, but at least the Thomas family made this series worthwhile in its own way. The focus on Henderson starting from the Marysville arc has completely destroyed my fanboyism for this series and I really don’t feel like writing an incredibly long summary about that woman anymore. There was one point I liked in this episode though: Anne’s hilariously horrible letter in which she pretended to be Henderson. It really looked like the handwriting of a kid who just learned to write letters and you have to give it to the creators: they really did their research in how little kids behave. I just wish that they also did this for teachers. *headdesk* Rating: — (Lacking)]]>
