Popotan 8

Time for some more Popotan! Quickie summary of the previous two episodes I didn't blog... In episode 6, we learned a bit more about the mansion that Ai, Mai, and Mii live in. Seems it doesn't only travel from place to place. Mai and Mare, who were left behind at the end of 5, eventually do get back together with Ai and Mii, but not after some stuff happens... In episode 7, we see Daichi from the 1st epsiode again... but he's changed a bit.. A mysterious guy who somehow has a connection with the popotan also shows up... The overall story developed a bit more in these two episodes so I can't really say much more. Just watch it :) Oh... yes, the streak of bath scenes continues in case you were wondering.

Onto the current episode... We take a break from the overall story development for something of a side story and also the Christmas episode. Nono lives with her grandfather at a shrine. She's in some kind of training when the mansion shows up right next to the shrine. Her grandfather isn't too pleased, but Nono is excited since she's always wanted to have Christmas, and this disagreement eventually leads to them separating for a bit. Mii takes Nono into the mansion and offers to let her stay there. She shows Nono around each of the girls' rooms, having her try on a couple of outfits (Mii's mahou shoujo outfit and also Mare's maid outfit). And here comes the obligitory bath scene... With Mii doing Tina's (from Ai Yori Aoshi ~Enishi~) favorite thing... Then the Christmas party begins, with Mii and the rest giving Nono a present. It's a cake to take back to her grandfather so they could have Christmas together. They also leave her some other presents outside the door, then the mansion disappears, off to another place.

A nice episode, I guess, but I hope we get back to the overall story development next episode. It was getting rather interesting, you know..

Current Rating: No change from the previous B. Sea Slugs! is up to episode 5 now. I agree with ya Kabitzin, "less bath scenes, more story" would be nice :)
