Tsuritama Episode 8

This week’s episode definitely felt like a “calm before the storm” thing. Not only because of the actual storm brewing, but also because everything seems to have been resolved. Akira is okay with Haru and Natsuki’s family problems are taken care of. There’s also Haru attempting to say goodbye as another obvious indicator. Something’s going down.

I guess next week is when everything starts getting serious. Based on what I’ve seen, Akira will elude his former comrades and meet up with Natsuki and Yuki, who will probably be looking for a missing Haru. Judging by Haru’s comment while fishing that he can do it himself, he’ll probably face the other alien by himself (like a typical anime character trying to protect his friends). Let’s see how much I get right.

Sankarea Episode 9

Not much really happened this week. Just a look into Mero’s life…she’s pretty normal in comparison to everyone else. Kinda makes sense because Chihiro seems to have been into zombies before his mother’s death…at least I’m assuming as much because Mero appears to be around the age of the Chihiro in Wanko’s flashback in her own flashback with a living mother.

Yeah, there’s that bit with her mistaking Rea as her mother, but I dunno…didn’t really seem to mean much to me other than Mero accepting Rea. Episode just seems kinda random…especially interrupting Chihiro’s kidnapping and all.

I guess the story will get back on track next week…Looks like more stuff on Rea’s mother. I think I mentioned before that her personality seems off so far, so maybe some actual info will help. Unless the episode just looks at her and ignores him…who knows? I can’t see much from the preview.
