Gakuen Alice 2

  
  
  

The fruity (as Momotato says) Narumi-sensei gets Natsume under control and he takes Mikan in to the Alice Academy. While he goes off to tell the higher-ups that Mikan is coming, Mikan stays with the still out cold Natsume. Mikan worries about whether or not she can trust Narumi-sensei. I don't know if what he did earlier to Natsume was sekuhara, though... ;) In comes the biology teacher, Misaki-sensei, so he talks to Mikan a bit to try and reassure her that Narumi's a decent guy. He also tells Mikan what Narumi's "Alice" is.. very fittingly.. he can use pheromones to control people. Mikan still has no clue what her Alice is. So Misaki-sensei leaves and tells Mikan to press the red emergency button if Natsume wakes up..

But Natsume already has her before she can do anything. And he's not too nice a guy. One of his buddies, Luka, comes flying in to join in. Narumi and Misaki come in to stop them... but not before Mikan loses her skirt. Polka-dotted pantsu, eh? ;)

Mikan cries a river over what Natsume did to her, but Narumi gives her her new Alice Academy uniform. Very kawaii~. He also brings some of her classmates... and among them is.. yup, Hotaru, still seemingly as cold as ever. She finally does give in and lets Mikan give her a hug. They go to class B, where there's a wide variety of Alice's being used.. flying, drawing things in the air, so on. Mikan gets a seat.. yup, right next to Natsume. Not a good idea to fight with him and his buddies, though..

Over on Memento I saw Gakuen Alice compared to Kodomo no Omocha, and that seems pretty valid. Natsume seems to be just as bad as Hayama, and Mikan is just as chou-genki and crazy as Sana. Though in that one Sana and Hayama got friendly.. but we'll see about it, since it's pretty clear that Mikan loves Hotaru more than anybody else out there. Though Hotaru doesn't really treat her nicely. Guess she's the type that has trouble showing emotion.. But anyways, I've enjoyed these first two episodes (even gotten used to the op) so I'm definitely looking forward to more of Mikan and the rest ;)
