Konjiki no Gash Bell!! 31

That was quick ;) Time to start a new story. Gash finds a mirror in a lake while catching Yellowtail and takes it home as his "treasure". At Kiyomaro's school a very kawaii transfer student has come, Hibiki Shion (she reminds me of Neneko from Yumeria. And are those nekomimi?), along with her cat Nyarurato. No cats at school, but the sensei makes an exception. Hey, he brought his wife... ahem, what she was doing was very inappropriate for school, you know. Well, it's still not as bad as Biggu Boin ;)(screencap from the 2nd opening. actually only heard her mentioned in one ep I've watched)

Anyways, Nyarurato takes a liking to Gash and Shion seems to like Kiyomaro as well so they all walk home from school together and chat a bit. But another person with a book and a demon has come looking for that mirror Gash has. Apparently, it's a demonic mirror of some sort and they need it for something. Oh yeah.. the demon is a pair of scissors and a tube of paste put together. Hoee? Who comes up with the ideas for all the demons in this show? ;) Kiyomaro and Gash figure out a way to stop them so that threat is gone for now. But another's right there... seems Shion might not be as nice as we think. Maybe. Find out next time ;)

The ending changed to "STARS" this time. I'd still say I like the first better, probably ;)

As an aside on the language part of it, I'd seen 時を刻む toki wo kizamu (in the song, the kanji is actually 時間 jikan, but the furigana is とき toki) a few times before, but the meaning of 刻む I knew as "to carve, inscribe" didn't make sense so I looked it up. With this usage it means "to tick away" (not "carve" as it's translated). For those of y'all that want to know ;)
