Yozakura Quartet

Episode 12:

• Hime in a box was amusing. Her reactions had the typical Hime flair you'd expect from her.
• That's one giant sword.] *Looks in awe.*
• So when one wishes with all of their might, they get struck, becoming half-youkai in the process.
• Lila really is a true magician. Even her being half-youkai was an illusion. No tricks, no gimmicks indeed.
• This all could've been avoided if Juri hadn't been too absorbed in pursuing her dream. Oh well, no time like the present to make amends.
• So, Akina. Can you handle Engine now? Sorry, I meant Engin. No, Enjin!

Episode 13:

• Poor Kyousuke
• Shocking Hiizumi truths revealed!
• So Akina's a dormant Striker. And Uzu's sort of a Tuner using Onmyoji tech? He was awesome, by the way.
• Hime, you're a simple person. Admit it!
• Having a magician for an assistant nurse has benefits. Welcome to the fold, Lila!
• It's time for a festival. Bring out your best clothes. That old man sure did!
• Even villains need a break from being evil. Enjin's stuffing his face like there's no tomorrow.

Back home from celebrating Christmas and New Year up in the woods. Time to catch up.

Episode 12. In which we have stage magics.

I think there's more than 1% of fear involved there. Just a little.

It's kinda bad when you excuse yourself worrying about your brother... She makes a few good expressions, though.

"That actually scared me a little." Well, maybe for her it's 1%.

The greatest trick the magician ever pulled was convincing the world she was a half-youkai.

I like how they resolved the sister plot. Mainly, not painting up Juri as someone who's been wronged by an insane sister who didn't know what to do, but actually having her be part of the problem.

Episode 13. In which there are no tricks, no gimmicks.

Poor Miss Green. Always getting the short end of the stick.

Badass gramps is badass.

Oni-chan to the rescue.

Touka's such a ditz when it comes to arguing with her brother.

"Give me a smile instead of thanks." How about a splendid combination?

"There's another monster would could destroy this world." You know, that'd probably sound a lot more convincing if it was about someone with a little bit looser morals...

Juri is the best doctor.

It's really obvious that they're sisters now that they're on the same side.

Wouldn't that strangle Hime?

The ED has one of my favourite jokes: Praying to the gods in person. It tends to fluster them.

Try to steal the booze, and you get groped. Fair's fair. And Miss Green is just laughing. She deserves it. I like her.

Does the scarf go with the yukata or not? I'd say only because it's Hime. And she's really cute while dancing.

Speaking of scarves, it's funny seeing Engine scarfing down festival food.
