Also, I can’t get over the fact that they have rare valuable instruments and amplifiers hidden away in a secret room under a statue, not to mention that the ten year-old girls can play them so well, or that Kyo is only mildly surprised by the fact. Every conversation is done in slow-motion, and it gets worse when the quiet, sleepy Sora has to say something. The premise is vaguely disgusting, and, EVEN WORSE, the show lags so much that I thought about skipping ahead, especially when the girls show up. And we get a song at the end that I could do without, but if I keep watching this show, I better get used to it. You probably already know who the mysterious Goto Jun really is. Kyo is afraid at first but finally agrees because he wants to talk music. This goes on for about half the episode, until Kyo gets an email from an admirer who wants to meet him. Tenshi no 3P! has Kyo, rapidly become a NEET who does little but upload music, uploading some more while at school a blond girl defends him. Kyo playing guitar to start off Tenshi no 3p!. Let’s see if the refugees of the Black Lizard Planet can keep it up. The chase scene at the beginning is one of the best moments of the new season so far. ![]() There’s a nice steampunk feel to it with the foggy London streets and the odd machinery they use. One character, Ange, lies so often that even her teammates often don’t know when she’s telling the truth. It’s a smart script that, at least in this episode, plays around with the concept of lying, since spies do that a lot. I’m not sure if the intrigue stuff is going to live up to expectations, too soon to tell, but I’m going to keep watching for now because so far it does. They’re aided by their spynetwork of course, but also the mysterious glowing substance called cavorite, which can lift cars and dump them and presumably other things as well, but then there’s the defector’s sister, suffering from cavorite poisoning and needs an expensive operation, and thus the plot gets complicated. For starters, they help a would-be defector escape from, I don’t know, police or something, and sneak him into their exclusive boarding school until they can get him across the wall. Princess Principal sounds like the story of royalty running a school, but while the girls do attend school, they are actually spies for the British Commonwealth, as opposed to the British Kingdom, who they’re cold-warring with (the wall runs through London). Princess Principal has a flashback to start us off. I will cut it some slack for being a first episode–they have to explain the world to us, of course, but I can’t see myself watching too much more. The episode dragged as much as Kyoko in the marathon. As for the other things, none of the characters interested me very much, the jokes were unfunny and dragged out. Seems a bit extreme to me, and it makes this seemingly benign high school less so. ![]() I was most interested in not only the teacher’s lecture, how it’s almost shouted at the students, how unity is more important than personal freedom (with two shadowy authorities listening from the door), and Kyoko’s comment later how even talking about this sort of stuff is illegal. Nozomi’s face is red because she’s thinking back to the kiss. Then the girls run a marathon, but Kyoko lags behind, and midterm test results. Then a bewildering lecture about all the different races there are now and how amphibians all have six legs, plus a stern warning about discrimination. We start with rehearsals for the school play, where Hime, a centaur and our heroine, rehearses the class play where she has to kiss her good friend Nozomi, a demon, I suppose, and there’s an incident during the performance … centaurs are pretty heavy, you know. Centaur no Nayami seems to be a high school comedy where everyone is a mythical creature.
