Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu Love!

I meant more the apparent change in personality, but okay.

I couldn't conceive a dream so wet; your bongos make me congo.

Also, apparently a scanlation of the Conquest Club manga is forthcoming. Good.

I couldn't conceive a dream so wet; your bongos make me congo.

Ah, so according to the manga, Kinshirou digs Atsushi's glasses.

It just gets better and better.

I couldn't conceive a dream so wet; your bongos make me congo.

So basically no plot progression except the Defense Club beginning to wonder who's behind the monster attacks and maybe Zundar having seen Wombat in that photograph, and the monster of the week victim barely got any focus... but it was all so fucking funny so I don't even care. I loved when Wombat was insisting they do their little speech even when no one's around to hear it and the club just grumbles as they leave. Nice little detail there.

Next episode looks like it's gun b gud too.

Also, some speculah stolen from Tumblr: The press society's weird-looking fish might be another alien mascot. I definitely got the feeling those two would be showing up again after this...

Who are the photo douches working for?? A previously unknown enemy of love??? You can't just leave us hanging like this!!! :'(

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

Given that they're in the press club, they might be working for a neutral entity that's just there to observe and report to... someone else.

Magical boys and fish, huh? Makes me want to watch Star Driver again...

"Money is important. Money doesn't betray." "But you betray!" OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! That was awesome, Ryuu!

Tickling is too cruel. Good thing Battle Lover Sulfur came to the rescue!

And they finally encountered the enemy.

Yumoto-nii-chan's special talent is just chopping wood. It is his destiny.

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

Gay beach episode! Yay!

Onee-san is hot.

Oh, those Conquest Club members are just so hilariously loaded.

Ryu totally likes Io, toothbrush culprit or not.

Shoot, what if everybody secretly likes Io.

Onee-san probably used the toothbrush. She had way too much presence to not be foreshadowing.

I don't think Io will mind if it's Ryu who does the hugging though.

Hey, En-chan is just concerned about his friend's eating habits, the only one with a crush in this group is everyone on Io and Yumoto on Wombat.

Wait, so does that mean Wombat really was lying about not controlling Mr. Tawarayama?

That is a bear trap. Fucking ouch.

Never mind, En may be gay for several guys.

Who am I even supposed to ship?

Damn it, I knew they would kill him again. That's two times, Yumoto!!! I am way more pissed off than I should be!

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

I think I'm just gonna ignore everything else and ship Io and Akoya. It appeals to me somehow.

Episode 18 of Magical Bishies, in which there is a beach.

---

• Yumoto really has not a shred of shame, does he?
• Well, of course there isn't a single woman on that beach. This is a fujoshi show; there will no eeeeevil females taking away our husbandos except for the player avatar in the otome game.
• Huh. Now I know why this show airs at 25:30.
• That kind of doesn't look like toothpaste or saliva, Io-chan.
• You know, maybe you've never seen Ryuu with a girl because there isn't one in the whole town. Maybe they're off starring in shitty Kirara manga.
• Maybe you should be grateful En-chan is worried about you, Atsushi.
• Tawarayama has now died twice. And killed by the same person each time. Being Tawarayama is suffering.

---

I am really confused. I thought I was happy with shipping Ryuu/Io and Atsushi/En-chan (or maybe En-chan/Yumoto) but now the only way to resolve the Love Dodecahedron UST in this show is a massive yaoi orgy and I wonder if someone on Pixiv drew that and holy fucking shit yes yes they did.

So I made an observation.

I couldn't conceive a dream so wet; your bongos make me congo.

Well the mascots in this series are explicitly aliens...

But I thought Wombat was Kyubey...

Since there are only 7 episodes so far, I'm rewatching them and taking note of all of the Ryuu and Io moments I can find.

If they're not unspoken boyfriends, then they're at least Heterosexual Life-Partners.

En and Atsushi are close, but they haven't had the same lovey dovey moments.

Anyone hear the Image Songs for the guys yet?

I don't watch enough anime and I don't listen to enough image songs, so I still think it's cool that they can all sing their own songs.

Some of them don't sound fitting for their characters though, like Kinshiro's. It's too...peppy.

Episode 8!

- Whoa, they actually went into a guy's home to get him with the needle? He's really a prime candidate.

- Are En and Atsushi gonna make out by the end of this episode? They're at least going to hug.

- Yumoto is right. About gohan.

- SPONTANEOUS love making now!!!!

- For a minute I thought this was going to be a serious episode with a serious monster but nope.

- Oh, Atushi's still too skinny.

- Aww, their love is so strong.

- I hope we get to see the people who were hit with the zundar needle again.

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

It's hard finding good quality subbed videos...

Well heh. "Highly advanced scientific technology" is synonymous with magic now. It's like Clarke's Third Law exactly.

And cool of Yumoto to let them do the finishing moves. I thought he'd do it every episode forever. And then En and Atsushi apologizing to each other over and over...

These episodes need to be like twice as long.

This was actually kind of a serious episode. Not super-serious, but "standard magical girl show serious", when earlier episode were just a parody of the genre.

Think they'll pull a Pretty Sammy?

WHAT. IS THE PHOTO CLUB'S. DEAL?

Maybe they and their alien overlord really just want to make money but they're too suspicious for that!

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

Well, they could still pull something really sinister in the name of money. Like once the conflict between the Defense Club and Conquest Club is over they'll try to pull some shit to get them to fight again, or something. Maybe.

Yeah, I don't know either.

I couldn't conceive a dream so wet; your bongos make me congo.

Is "playing melon" some kind of Japanese idiom meaning "to gain sympathy from trashing yourself"?

Well the monsters in this show are weird and often small time, but apparently there's lessons in most of them. Things like loving yourself or having trust in others. So sweet...I hope that the latest monsters might touch on some serious topics though.

I think hikkikomori and extreme self-consciousness can be pretty serious topics, it's just that the show doesn't look like it's ever gonna be serious.

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

So kids, were you expecting a filler episode? You were only mostly right!

I couldn't conceive a dream so wet; your bongos make me congo.

Well at least it proves that the Defense Club does like Yumoto enough to actually be worried when he's not his usual potentially annoying self.

And I had a feeling that that fish was another talking animal alien. I just couldn't guess what for.

I wonder if there will be any backstory or new Battle Lovers eventually.
