Animal Yokochou 48

Shimako-san is going to PariYoko -- apparently it takes a month on an airplane to get there -- so Yamanami-san is rather depressed since he won't be able to see her anymore. But the Aniyoko trio has a suggestion -- propose to her and she won't leave. A bit sudden there (^^;;) Yamanami-san does have his store, and there's sure to be something that he sells that would catch her fancy... but be it roses, jewelry, or whatever else, she's already got something better. When Shimako-san comes to say goodbye, Yamanami-san gives her a sparkling carrot that only sprouts when thinking of a person you have feelings for. Yamanami-san wishes her the best in Pariyoko.. and when Shimako-san appears on TV she does some advertising for Yamanami-san's sparkling carrots. The phone lines are full with people(?) wanting to order them. Unfortunately for Ami-chan, he's running the operation out of her room (^^;;)

In the latter half, Kenta and Iyo show up stuck together. Iyo seems to enjoy it, but Kenta would rather not be in that situation. Ami-chan acts the boke part this time, thinking that maybe they were practicing for a 3-legged race, or perhaps for a folk dance. Anyways, it seems that Iyo and Kenta aren't really "stuck" together, it's more like a magnetic attraction. Ami-chan pulls out her homework on electromagnetism (the word is 電磁石 denjishaku)... What kind of kindergartener studies that? (^^;;) It seems she doesn't know exactly how it works, though, since she's stumped by Issa's questions during a very educational program-like segment. But you're not supposed to hit the puppet, even if you don't know the answer (^^;;) Ami-chan thinks that perhaps if Iyo discharges all her energy that she and Kenta will get unstuck, but it seems she's got a limitless supply of Iyoppe beams, unfortunately for Kenta.

Yamanami-san finally shows up, ready to make a diagnosis. It's Type B Hong Kong Anifluenza or whatever -- it causes others to get stuck, and the only way to get unstuck is to express the emotion opposite what you were feeling when you got stuck. Kenta was mad at Iyo when they got stuck, so to get unstuck... I love Iyo!.. no (^^;;) Kuu-chan arrives at Ami-chan's house to play, so Kenta's got to make a decision quickly. He doesn't want to be seen like that, so he says it -- and nothing happens. In fact, Issa and Ami-chan get stuck, along with Kuu-chan and various other things in the room. Some kinda Katamari Damacy game here? (^^;;) Pretty fun episode :)
