Moyashimon - 09 December 9

Filed under First Impressions, Series Introduction by mewmew | 42 comments

Relatively serious episode this time around, although there are still some funny moments sprinkled here and there.
Pre-summary Snippets

Consuming surströmming to everyone’s horror, except for Professor Itsuki and Haruka

A peek into Haruka’s “other side” as the daughter from a well-to-do family, which includes being positioned into an arranged marriage with a man considerably older than her

Misato, Kawahama, and Sawaki rescue Haruka from the company of her father and fiance by opening a pressurized can of surströmming inside the restaurant they were in

Some thoughtful conversation on Haruka’s life, including how she first met Professor Itsuki back in middle school

Sawaki finally sees Kei again, all dressed up as a gothic lolita sweeping the entrance of the Hiyoshi Liquor Store

つづくよ☆

   Hmm, they seem to have skipped a whole lot to delve into the Kei moment.
   This episode was basically all of the 3rd volume then.
   Guess it might see an original ending then, which is a shame.

   …Kei?

   sda;jfiowamskvasoejf ;______; He looks good in drag!

   But, man, I’m really, really scared.

   @ Busaiku:
   It probably seems to be directed towards that, considering how Moyashimon has very few episodes left now (a Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro remake will be replacing Moyashimon in the Noitama timeslot by January).

   ok, why is the guy named Kei! I know it has already been said that the author of the manga said he is a guy, but damn, drag and also he has a damn WOMAN name. Kei is not a neutral name like Akira and Makoto.

   Also, Haruka is staying in college as a researcher because as soon as she leave college she has to marry with that older man. Also, Haruka is not that strong of a person as we thought, she is very shy in social events, so all the bondage and sexy dress up is just to hide her shy personality.

   I hope she wakes up and tell her father to go to hell with the stupid arranged marriage.

   …Kei? o_0

   Please don’t tell me this is some sort of special training they’re putting him through; that’s just too weird, even for a Microbiology student. >>;;

   LOLWUT IS GOING ON WITH KEI

   Kei has the hots for Sawaki. I’m guessing the next episode will have the scene of Kei kissing Sawaki?

8. tatsumaki at 2:19 am on December 9th, 2007

   I’ve seen this said before, that Kei is a woman’s name, so I feel the need to comment. Kei is a gender neutral name, and the female version of “Kei” is frequently the shortening of “Keiko”. For example, the late voice actor, Tomiyama Kei was unquestionably male and there are a number of male characters named Kei in various anime, manga and books.

   @mewmew
   Yeah, I was just hoping the possibility for another season would be open down the line sometime.
   Oh well.

    @OM

    You are right on. That scene will take place next episode, guaranteed!!!

    Let see the comparison between the two:

    You make the call.

    well, Wig+Eyeshadow+lipstick=TRAP

13. golthin at 4:15 am on December 9th, 2007

    Sawaki belongs to Haruka! Kei keep your hands off him!

14. Ace at 4:15 am on December 9th, 2007

    why is that guy dressed up as a chick

15. KaminaLives at 7:27 am on December 9th, 2007

    Given the last episode, so are like Aoi and Hazuki a yuri couple now or what?

16. golthin at 7:58 am on December 9th, 2007

    @KaminaLives
    I don’t know, I was hoping that they will dwell a little bit on that but it was just swept under the rug, the same thing with Haruka waking up to that scene. Everyone seem to just have swept all that under the rug.

17. God~knows at 8:00 am on December 9th, 2007

    Lol that was a awkward moment XD I guess they called him kei and not kai for a good reason.

18. Rembr at 4:52 pm on December 9th, 2007

    Pretty godly show.

19. Nagumo at 8:44 pm on December 9th, 2007

    Well… according to the manga, Hazuki and Aoi try to bury it under the rug to forget about it. They’re still quite close but I think they mutually agree that it was a one time accident that resulted from their aphrodisiac and alchol addled minds.

    There was actually a hilarious chapter where Sawaki notices something odd about the tatami mat where the two had spent time on because of a strange clump of bacteria concentrating on a certain area. He asks Misato and Kawahama to ‘take position’ to figure out what had created the interesting phenomena.

    He then pointedly asks Aoi and Hazuki what they were doing that night because he can see bacteria that originate from elbows, legs and backsides or something. All the while Misato and Kawahama wonders if it was a massage of some sort since one of them is between the other’s leg.

    Aoi reacts with extreme violence by beating all three with empty wine bottles.
