Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro na - ep 03
Early morning, breakfast is prepared by Mai. Apparently it’s so good that Feena says that Mai could become a royal chef on the moon. Mai gets so excited that she falls over her chair, to be helped up by Mia. Mia ends up volunteering to help mai with the dishes. Sayaka is pleased that Feena and Mia seem to be adapting well.
As Tatsuya leaves early for work, Feena is curious what work is exactly. So with the idea that it’s better to see for yourself, Feena ends up sitting in a corner of the restaurant watching (tatsuya specifically). What better way to see your idol in a uniform than to suggest that they work, which is what Jin does. Feena agrees, and soon ends up becoming a waitress in the restaurant.
Of course, Feena totally charms all customers. Even as Natsuki and Tatsuya are totally awed, Jin comes along to scare them about how Feena will be harassed by some lecherous customers. Feena overhears, and instead of executing Jin, thanks them for the concern. She reassures them that with her kendo training, no harm will come to her.
Jin is totally disappointed that Feena is doing so well, since he can’t be the knight to rescue the damsel in distress.
Even as the restaurant takes a break, Jin suggest that Feena learn the second part of working in a restaurant, which is cooking. As such, he decides to hold an inter-planet cooking contest between Feena and Natsuki. Of course, Natsuki is Master Carbon, and ain’t too happy about it.
Shopping for ingridients, Feena + Tatsuya meets Natsuki and Mai. Basically, a simple jealous scene plays out, with some ribbing about Master Carbon.
So the cooking competition starts at night, with Samon, Sayaka, Takano and Wreathlit as the judges. (wreathlit was chosen as judge from audience) Surprisingly, Feena cooks well, though the dishes are simple, especially for her first time. And Master Carbon cooks…. Carbon. Not surprising who won.
That night, Tatsuya goes to comfort a despondent Natsuki by eating her carbon pieces and pinching her nose.. This was caught by Feena who becomes totally jealous. Next day, Feena ends up cooking a carbon egg as well. Of course, Tatsuya chomps it down as well.
Thoughts
whoa, the animation quality is dropping even further. Take the scene where Feena and the cousin were talking. Mai was in the most ridiculous pose ever. They didn’t even bother to animate repeated actions that Mia was doing. Oh, and I don’t even need to mention that each character is poorly drawn as well.
At this moment, I just want to know who wreathlit is.
I’m totally disappointed. Why did I even choose this series to blog about. At this rate, I’ve got to start searching for something new.
