GIRLS Bravo second season 7


The gang's watching a horror movie (Kirie doesn't seem to be enjoying it) when Tomoka comes in and turns it off. She's bored no da! She wants to do something fun. So Kirie suggest they play an Earth game.. some kind of card game, but Tomoka isn't having fun because she's losing. She wants to play a more adult game... and who should have snuck in but Fukuyama (sending Koyomi running, trying to find somewhere to hide) -- he's got an adult game they can play ;)
It looks like mahjongg, but since it's a Fukuyama game it isn't your usual mahjongg game... there are tiles with 脱衣 and 揉む written on them... then other ones with "rabbit ears" and "bloomers" written on them.. basically, you try to get 4 different sets of 3 of the same tiles and when you do, someone has to do whatever is written on the tile. So, for example... say Fukuyama gets 3 of "Kirie", 3 of "one", 3 of "strip", and 3 of "bunny ears". Kirie has to strip one piece of clothing and put on bunny ears.. at least I think that's how it works ;)
He calls in Kosame and Hayate with the costumes and Lisa follows in as well. Kosame greets Kirie, sending her running over where Koyomi's hiding.. Miharu and Tomoka seem to want to play.. Fukuyama gets Kirie to participate and allows Yukinari in as well.
So the first round, Fukuyama, Koyomi, Hayate, Tomoka.. Ebi hops in with Tomoka... He's got a plan to win that he explains while taking a smoke ;) But Tomoka pays him no attention whatsoever... so Koyomi ends up without clothes with a snake crawling on her, and Hayate and Tomoka end up in cardboard Gundam suits ;) They play around a bit while Koyomi writes a letter home saying how awful things are in the human world (poor Koyomi...)
Next round.. Fukuyama, Kirie, Yukinari, and Miharu are playing now, and Kirie's just been forced to strip and put on PE clothes. Fukuyama's in a rather odd outfit as well, apparently because of Kirie... and we see Yukinari gone Village People. Miharu seems to have some good luck as she gets Yukinari to put nekomimi on and then gets to rub him (which she rather enjoys). They take a break, and as Yukinari's washing himself up in the bathroom Kosame comes in and points a gun to him as Fukuyama speaks. He wants Yukinari to team up with him to cheat a bit so Miharu won't beat them all.. Yukinari does want to see Miharu like this and like that, doesn't he? Yup ;) Lisa asks Fukuyama how it went and upon learning Yukinari's agreed to cooperate she imagines what'll happen once Miharu finds out... Miharu will get mad and she'll have Yukinari all to herself ;) Kosame still holds up Yukinari in the bathroom and tells him she wants to see Kirie in compromising positions...
Meanwhile, outside, Tomoka and Hayate are still playing around in their Gundam costumes while Koyomi seems to be getting along with the snake rather well. Back to the game... Yukinari passes a tile to Fukuyama who then gets a complete hand, making Miharu strip and put on a shirt. The next hand Kosame goes behind Miharu and signs off what tiles she has to Fukuyama. Lisa distracts everyone long enough for Fukuyama and Yukinari to swap tiles.. then Fukuyama has some tiles hidden up his sleeve.. Kirie ends up cosplaying Poyon-chan...
And for the last round.. Fukuyama just needs a good roll.. but Tomoka flings Ebi (poor Ebi...) inside, hitting Fukuyama and making him roll badly.. Fukuyama and Yukinari's little scheme was found out, so as punishment they (and Lisa and Kosame) have to walk outside in various costumes...
After the credits, Ebi goes over his strategy once more. It would've worked out perfectly. Tomoka should know him best since he's with her all the time, but she didn't listen...
So the lesson today is to not team up with Fukuyama since nothing good will come of it ;) Anyways, it was rather fun to see Yukinari act a bit like Fukuyama and team up with him. Ebi's little strategy talk with the oyaji face was rather funny as well. Poor Koyomi... While I'm glad she got more than a minute of screentime, she always gets the worst of things, doesn't she? If there could be a Koyomi episode, I'd like it to be Act 19 (from volume 3 of the manga) since it was sweet and cute, all without being excessively ecchi. But anyways... next time, a little detective story... with bunny ear Kirie, Koyomi, and Miharu ;)


Quick thoughts:
I loved Ebi's inner monologue.
Nice to see Koyomi finally get some screen time (insert your own snake joke here).
Village People Yukinari was also amusing.
I could swear that Ebi's inner monologue voice was by the same guy who did Gendo in Eva! Anyway, another great episode of GIRLS Bravo which showed that somehow, Yukinari and Fukuyama *can* make a good team of sorts.. :D
Though there is one scene that involved Kirie wearing a Playboy Bunny suit (as a point of demonstration), I'm still delighted at this episode.
Ebi inner thoughts sounded like Marlon Brando from "The Godfather," showing that poker face.
And poor Yukinari he had to be in kahoots with Fukuyama because he done so at gunpoint (once again with that chicken pox). And he had to pay by going out almost butt naked.
I'm looking forward for your summary.
