Ninomiya-kun – 06
This here be fight’n animes.
Summary:
Mayu decides to go on a diet after seeing her results on a scale. She disappoints Ninomiya when she will not eat his cooking, so she forces herself to eat. However, this puts her in despair as he offers more food for her to eat afterwards. Ninomiya, Reika, and Mayu find themselves trapped in a room on the island. Ninomiya is not extremely shocked about the situation because of the shady work his sister does, and Reika also believes that her having the Hojo name may have something to do with it. Mayu is only able to think about what she saw the previous night, but Ninomiya finally gets her attention. Reika expresses that it would be impossible to try to escape, as their opponents are obviously pros. Elsewhere, a soldier asks the white haired woman what their objective is. As the captain, she only orders him to get back to work, before preparing to make her own visit. Mitsuru manages to get past the guards, so he enters to help Ninomiya and the girls.
The group then wanders around the mansion they are in, with little new information on their captors. Mayu brings up the transmitter that Ryoko and Mikihiko mentioned, and she starts to search for it. However, after opening one of the doors, she is hit by the trap that is set there. It is not as harmful as it could have been, but Mitsuru isn’t as lucky when he opens another door. The captain reveals herself with the rest of her forces behind her, but Ninomiya is able to escape with the girls in his arms. Ninomiya knocks Reika out despite her resistance, and leaves her up to Mayu as he jumps back down to challenge their chasers. Ninomiya is able to single handedly take out many of the soldiers, but he is stopped by one woman in a strange mask.
Ninomiya finds himself tied to a chair when he regains his consciousness, and the white haired woman leaves him to be abused by the soldiers around him. While being punched in the face repeatedly, Ninomiya recalls a similar event that happened in his past. Reika wakes up to find herself in a cave, as Mayu runs to her in tears. After Reika learns of the current situation, the two girls set out to help Ninomiya. Mayu finds herself walking through numerous traps, until a soldier offers to help her. His good intentions are payed back with a log swinging into him, and many other soldiers suffer the same fate from Mayu’s trap triggering. Reika takes this chance to head to Ninomiya’s location, where she finds him in bruises. Reika begins crying over Ninomiya’s actions, recalling that he has always done things like this since childhood.
When Reika calls Ninomiya the onion man, memories of his past are triggered. Ninomiya had spent time with Reika and bought groceries for her, and they even shared a promise with a kiss. Ninomiya and Reika are interrupted in the present, when the masked woman knocks Reika out. Ninomiya begins attacking the masked woman, but she is on a different level than the other guards. While fighting, Ninomiya feels the same kind of power that arose when he fought in the past. Ninomiya finally breaks the woman’s mask, but he falls over when he finds that it is only his sister. In the aftermath, Reika and Mayu carry Ninomiya out of the mansion when they find that he is safe. Mikihiko wonders what the captain thought of Ninomiya, but she only takes her leave with a bit of embarrassment. The act is revealed to Reika and the others when they return to the Ninomiya household, and the captain also begins working as a maid. Her name is Kirishima Shinobu, a long servant of the Hojo family.
Preview: Boobies.
Impression:
Man, are you serious? This was just dumb. It was pretty easy to see that Shinobu was a part of some other plan when she referred to Reika as “oujosama”, but I didn’t think they would actually turn this entire episode into another plan set up by Ryoko and Mikihiko. Shinobu might bring some funny things to the table by being another maid under Ninomiya’s harem, but she can’t beat super maid Reika. I’m actually getting kind of tired of Mayu’s squeaky voice, and the trap scenes in this episode were just way too over the top. Also, how was Reika still standing when Ninomiya supposedly punched her out?
I admit that it was funny when the bunny girls’ (men’s?) father suddenly got knocked out though, along with the cheesiness of Ninomiya getting slapped in the face by Shinobu. I also laughed at Mayu and Reika being in the cave, because I was suddenly reminded of Sola (he’s mine b*tch! Hahaha!!). I really hate the random and continuous inserts of Ninomiya and the girls’ past, especially since the child’s voices sound like they were just spit out by vocaloid or something. Haha, “Negi Otoko”. I keep forgetting that Ninomiya is actually inhumanly strong like his ridiculous sister, and the fight scenes were actually decent in this episode. Did anyone else notice the white horns Reika had during the eyecatch? Just throwing that out there!

In reference to the previous comment… you give what is essentially a link to a page that links back to this page?
Where did you get the raw Totali :O This is like the only anime I really keep up with now that Shana is emo.
Shinobu’s timing appearance (she’s like Motoko of Love Hina) is necessary since Ninomiya already knew Reika is one of those promise girls err Love Hina ?!, this would stop Shungo from doing any unnecessary to Reika.
Now if only Shungo would remember Mayu.
Dear friend, it’s captors as in Cardcaptors, not captures. >_>
Also, there might not be nekomimi Reika but there is an inumimi Reika in the novels >_>
Actually I would worry what Shiroi-Reika would do to Shungo and not the other way around.
Zakarum > Check TT.
arigatou > Haha, I love the Motoko parallel! You could also draw various love comedy similarities with the island placement. The fighting lovcom reminded me of Airantou…ugh. xD
Di Gi Kazune > omg minor mistake…people actually read my summaries!? etc etc… lol inumimi….doesn’t have the same umph.
未経験
Disregard that last comment, I have no idea how I managed to do that… However I did manage to find the raw
This episode was a little confusing at first but I couldn’t stop laughing when Mayu kept getting all the soldiers blown up, and called her a demon! XD That scene with Mayu walking terrified with a wall of flame behind her was just classic.
About the white horns on Reika… aren’t those just the same hair clips that Mayu is using except white instead of black? They don’t really seem like horns to me.
I like this show. It’s completely mindless, but it makes me chuckle.
I’m warming to Reika more and more, though I think it’s unlikely Ninomiya will ditch Mayu. Here’s hoping for the harem ending
On the subject of Mayu, what happened to her super succubus powers? she could have enslaved and then knocked out every soldier on the island..
This episode was kind of a let down. Like, WTF is going on here? We still don’t know anything about the white-haired girl, either. Except, she wants to kill Ninomiya for several possible reasons. I guess she is a harem failsafe to delay Ninomiya and Reika from getting to close before Maya’s past can be revealed. Amirite?
Ah that was fun. I suggest not thinking about the several uber-cliches and just enjoy it, over thinking just ruins it.
Zakarum > I thought they were normal hair clips before too, but apparently their cleverly placed horns….for succubus…..the assumption could be wrong though.
spider > Yea, they seem to use her powers when it’s convenient for their “plot”….heh.
Rentington > Well, we do know that she is a servant of Reika’s….hilarity ensues, etc. So yea….your assumption is pretty much right.
LazyMcChan > This is definitely a “turn off your brain” anime. ;P
Plot? You are talking about P-L-O-T from a fanservice show? If I want plot I will watch Melodrama no Shana. This show is only about one thing. Ren-cha… I mean Reika.
I think they are hairclips… I mean Reika only had it on one side. In the same place the red bow usually ties her hair… Unless the large bow is there to hide the “horns”…
Di Gi Kazune > Yea…I’m obviously looking for the wrong things in this anime ;_; *sigh*
Zakarum > Now that I think about it, I guess those aren’t horns…..eh, I was assuming the bow thing too, but I remember when Reika was fixing her messed up hair….they weren’t there. I blame Hinano.
