Binbou Shimai Monogatari 5 - My momma say’ dat trucks are da devil!

August 14, 2006

I dunno. Maybe the show is too cheesy, and stupid, and pointless. But i cant get over how cute Kyo and Asu are, and so im compelled to watch the series through. Besides, i really dont think the show is bad at all, so whatever.

Anyway, after the usual spew of crap about their shitty parents and the yay-yay opening that i enjoy so much (the music part, not the talking), Kyo and Asu go to ask the owner for an extension of their pay period cuz they are poor as usual. Anway, when they come up to ask, the wind blows by and he see’s “Eriko” and “Mami” instead of Kyo and Asu - which im gonna assume they are explained later on in the episode. After he is nice to them about it he goes away, and they wonder who the hell Eriko and Mami are. On her way back home Kyo decides to end her life and jump infront of a giant truck, albeit on accident, anyway he just honks and she’s liek oh oops. And then you see it parked infront of the apartment. Gee, i wonder what the giant truck with a bunch of steel bars and such on it parked infront of the apartment in an episode with a title with ‘moving’ in it means. Oh i know, either renovations or a new building….But apparently this is too hard for the girls to grasp on their own, and dont figure it out till the whorey neighbor tells them.

Anyway, to further prove my point from an earlier episode about “Kyo stealing Asu’s savings money for a Yukata and she’s evil a terrible sister!” and how its actually Kyo’s money to begin with - Kyo hands her entire check over to Asu right when she gets home. Proving im right, Asu doesnt do jack shit or even have an allowance, she just uses her sisters money, and so her ’savings’ was actually Kyo’s savings. So ha!

Ok so, they plan on going out somewhere the next day cuz Kyo is off from work. They end up hanging out inside their room until the afternoon, looking at some flower on a tree. They decide to go to the baths early, but are cut off by the owner, who tells them to GTFO of the apartment. But they still go to the baths, and all the people notice something is wrong. They all ask like they care and omg omg, but then once she tells them that they are getting kicked out of their apartment, NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THE PEOPLE TRIES TO HELP AT ALL. They just say “OOO AHHH!!! OMG THATS HORRIBLE!” Just like real life, people are useless. Later on they start packing, and the neighbor woman comes over and tells them that the place is getting torn down and replaced by a luxury mansion complex. More cute little commercial things. Back in the show again, Kyo and Asu look at some ads for houses and imagine with their flower filled heads how it would be. They finally take all their stuff and leave the apartment with it, and with nowhere to go, i guess they didnt want to find a place first for some odd reason. Anyway, while walking they get stopped by a store owner they know who says they can stay at her shop on the second floor, but then like a bunch of others finally come over and say “no, they can stay at my place!” hell, even some dirty perverted looking guys come over and say it! Apparently the owner asked them to give the girls a place to stay becuase he thinks of them as granddaughters or so the people say.

Finally they explain Eriko and Mami, apparently they were his wife and daughter. Apparently 40 years ago (yes, 40) some truck ran over his family, lmao. Anyway, the girls run back to stop him from destroying the apartment, but they find out it was the apartment NEXT to theirs that isnt even his getting torn down. Apparently he told them to move out so they would be away from the trucks, cuz he doenst like trucks! And to end with max cuteness levels, they throw in a new hairstyle for Asu! END. Anyway, blargh. The usual i expect of this show, happy happy love love ending with drama inbetween! But whatever, i enjoy it.


Binbou Shimai Monogatari 04

July 30, 2006

A day of perfume, Asu, and open house.

The episode starts off with an old man watching his dog pissing, or doing all sorts of other things, all over a pole (the first screenshot). Other then that, Asu gets a letter and throws it away, Kyo finds it and its a letter from the school about Open House. Anyway, after the opening (Mom died and dad left us, boo hoo) Kyo remembers waiting for her dad to come to open house when she was younger, and how lonely she was when he didnt come. Later on, Kyo finds a lost wallet out infront of the apartment and Asu volunteers to take it to the police station (lets not look at the ID at all for some reason). It ends up being the yet-to-be introduced neighbor lady’s and so Asu gives it back, and neighbor lady takes her to a restaurant for some cake. Asu declines in the end and makes them get a box to take it home to eat with Kyo, on the way back the neighbor asks questions about Asu and her family and such. Anyway, Kyo asks the neighbor lady to borrow a suit, and ends up with this pink one that shoots out little flowers because of the perfume that shot little flowers her. Yes, little flowers go shooting all over off of Kyo, poor girl. Anyway, as usual Asu finds a way to ruin everything for her older sister with her blatant disregard for Kyo’s feelings, and tells her not to bother coming. After they go to the bath, Asu is all omg over how her sister smells like she should (ummm) and so Kyo understands that Asu just wants Kyo to be herself and not try to be a replacement mother or anyone other then herself. So she ends up going to the open house by leaving school early and shows up in her middle-school uniform, blarghles.

Anyway, next episode, the owner tells them to GTFO. Why? I dunno, but thats what next episode previews are supposed to do right?
