Yuri Mania 17: Kanamemo 4

Gokigenyou! Welcome to my fourth week in a row of Yuri Mania. This streak happens thanks to my current review of Kanamemo. However, I made Yuri Mania as general yuri related posts, not focused on just one yuri series. Which is why my first YM post was general idea of what I was watching. So even though I've been reviewing Kanamemo, I do put in other yuri in here as well ^_^

Such as what just came in the mail this week: The complete series of Strawberry Panic. I know it's an old series, but I haven't finished it yet when the first fansub came out. I should get going on these older series ^^; I was actually waiting for AnimeWorks to make the complete disc for this... It took them a while though, sheesh!

I bought Simoun a long time ago, and I believe there's a complete disc set for this series as well; long before Strawberry Panic had the set. And Strawberry Panic came out BEFORE Simoun! I just started watching it, and so far they're introducing too many characters at once... maybe it's a yuri show trait.

Kanamemo Episode 4

Love the eyecatch!

I gotta be honest with you; I didn't like this episode very much... They made it to be a musical and it became a very strange episode to watch. Some of the songs are cute, but most of the time their singing voices are quite bad and they're forcing words into the tune. That is one of my pet peeves for songs... If they did it well then I wouldn't have minded, but they didn't.

This week's plot revolves around the freebie coupons that newspapers give away for subscribers. I've seen something like this in other anime such as Suzuka where they use this free coupon/ticket for dates between the two characters, but never seen it from the point of view of the ticket givers.

Haruka parodying one of those popular mascot characters (I can't name it right now...) showing that sometimes she keeps the coupon. ^^;

They all feel sad when they hear Kana never went anywhere for summer, not even a swimming pool. So this episode they try to get Kana to have some fun in Waterland... Unfortunately their work schedule doesn't really accommodate this idea =(

Haruka has a really twisted imagination...

Very twisted.......

She's a good source of yuri touchy-feely scene though ^^;

Twisted Haruka is twisted XD

Yep... in my line of work, this statement is pretty much the norm. We've got a LOT of whiney clients unfortunately... or they're just plain jerks.

Love all these yuri scenes in the show... I think I'll just put a lot of these shots for my review :P

This is a nice line by Haruka... come, my yuri harem!

YAY! The obligatory yuri changing room groping scene!

Hina's starting to become one of my favourite characters too because of this scene and she gives Haruka a good whack on the head whenever she goes out of control XD

The musical was really weird... but it gives some good screenshots out of them.

Like this one... ^^;

Mika's finally got her appearance in the episode, in a swimsuit no less!

One reason why Yume is my favourite is because she makes these kinds of faces that I like ^^

Haruka can't stop the Kana groping... lolicon to the core!

So that's how that episode went. I wasn't too keen on doing this episode's review because of the musical aspect of it, but I plowed through it. It feels more like a filler episode anyway... I have yet to check the manga for this...

That's all for this week. I'll continue review of Kanamemo and bring you more yuri when I find'em. Til next time, gokigenyou!
