Zero no Tsukaima 3 - 05
What? N….no, I’m not losing interest in this show. Huh? W..what?
Summary:
Louise has Saito read a contract out loud, admitting that he preformed acts with Tiffania and agreeing not to touch her large breasts anymore. Saito disagrees to sign this at last minute though, leaving Louise’s room while expressing that there is no meaning in staying with her if she cannot trust him. Saito comes across Colbert’s old lab while walking outside, recalling that he was the only one who really believed in his previous world. Saito finds that many of his male acquaintances are getting along with girls shortly after, falling into despair over his own situation. Throughout the campus, most people easily see that Saito and Louise are fighting again. Guiche comes up with a plan to cheer Saito up, gathering a few of his friends to dig a hole all the way to the edge of the girls’ bath.
When Saito meets the boys, and looks through the peephole they have made, he is surprised to see Louise and Tiffania sitting next to each other in the baths. Inside, Tiffania asks for Louise to touch her breasts to check if they are abnormally large. When Tiffania mentions that she had Saito do the same thing, Louise finally realizes that Saito was not lying earlier. Saito meanwhile attempts to prevent the other boys from looking in the baths in belief that they would see Louise’s naked body. When he lets out large yell, the girls quickly realize that they are being spied on. When the boys are captured by the girls, they are quickly punished. Saito is able to escape, however, with the help up Tabitha’s magic.
When Saito asks Tabitha why she helped him, she explains that it is thanks for feeding Sylphid earlier. The two are quickly forced to hide, however, because Montmorency enters the room they are in to search for Guiche. Even after Montmorency leaves, Saito worries because Tiffania is still nude. Tabitha faints after believing there are ghosts in the room, and Saito is surprised when he sees several dolls appear to dance in the room. This makes him remember the dance he and Louise shared in the past, making him believe that he is at fault as well. When Louise shows herself to Saito, she has him admit that he was with the boys earlier. She actually believes him when he states that he did not know they were planning on peeping, and Saito makes her happy in return by saying that he actually likes small breasts like hers. When Louise sees that Tabitha is also in the room, however, she expresses her usual rage towards Saito.
Preview: Hot girl on girl action.
Impression:
Okay, so maybe I was. After last week’s episode, I just couldn’t help but accuse this show of not knowing what it wants to be. One week we have lovcom action, the next week we have plot. I was thinking I would have to prepare myself to actually sit through and accept some of the development in this episode, but I guess my earlier theory was proven right when the whole episode ended up being about boys peeping into the girls’ bath. With that said, I ended up finding this episode hilarious. Things like a big freaking arrow appearing when Montmorency found the peephole made things even more outrageous than they already were, and it laughed out loud when Saito basically admitted to liking DFC. Tabitha is a really fun character too, and I remember being disappointed from not having enough of her in season two. Even if the censoring was ridiculous during her parts of this episode, it was pretty fun to watch. But yea, with three shows on Sunday which I can’t seem to keep up with anymore, I’m pretty much going to put this show on low priority. That’s what I did last summer, and it seemed to work out a lot better for me.

well.. not like it can be accused of not following the novels. ^^;
only got to read summaries here and there but I remember this somewhat (at least the nude tabitha/fainting business).
ZnT on Tuesdays? Madness!
I am actually like this season a lot better than last season. We’re back to the 80% silliness 20% plot ratio again, but the plot bits are way more subtle this season. I remember in season 1 every plot twist was really heavy-handed and you could spot the twists from a mile away.
