Toono is a girl? Who’s the blonde!?

Summary:

Panako attempts to get a lazy Chikage to clean her room, but she would rather not. She trips on a book when tries to sneak out, and finds a magic book. With it, she releases a large amount of light into the village at night. The next morning, Suzu and Ikuto wake up to find that they have gained animal features. After heading outside, they find that everyone in the village has changed. Humans have turned into animals and vise versa. They eventually run into Chikage, and find that she is responsible for all of it. With Ayane’s help, they begin searching through Chikage’s room for ways to stop her. After accidentally coming across a magic book, a genie appears to will grant any of their wishes. They have him capture Chikage, but Chikage just has him release her afterwards, because he will grant anyone’s wish. When the genie mentions that there is only one wish left, everyone struggles to take it. Machi shows up and simply wishes for a cup of tea, which panics everyone. Chikage claims that her magic is enough, and she captures everyone. However, the beautiful blonde that Ikuto and Suzu saw earlier, Panako, shows up and attacks Chikage as usual. With this, everyone in the villiage is restored. When Ikuto wakes up from passing out at home, he expresses his belief that everything that happened was a dream.

Impression:

I really don’t know what to think of this show anymore. For the most part it’s been mediocre, and the only reason I started blogging it was because of Yui Horie. We have gotten a few good episodes in the past few weeks, but recently it’s kind of been a drag. I had a few chuckles throughout this episode, but there wasn’t anything hilarious. I’m sure a lot of people will appreciate Suzu going “nyann~” and it was kind of interesting to see what the animals’ counterparts would be like. Panako turns out to be a bejin and we find out Toono is a girl. Other than that, there wasn’t much of a plot, and Ikuto’s hardheadedness is getting kind of old. If I wanted fanservice, I would watch Umisho. I hope we can get some more fun episodes soon. I’ve heard that there may be a few more new characters, so maybe that will give the show the boost it needs.
