Flying cockroaches are THE WORST! Luckily, the princess hates them too.. which means…. that the big guns gets brought in to exterminate them.

The start of the episode sees sayaka talking to her boss about Princess Feena’s mom. Apparently she was good at building relations between earth and moon, and finally, they were going to go ahead with the planned space station to be built together. It was unfortunate that she died so early though. Things get awkward when the boss calls Sayaka her daughter.

Going back to the riverside, Tatsuya and Natsuki talk about how they used to swim in the river when they were kids. Feena comments that she would love to join in, making Tatsuya surprised that she can swim. Before she can answer, a dog is seen struggling in the water. Before anybody can react, Feena jumps in and swims towards the dog. But yup. she can’t swim, and Tatsuya is forced to jump in after her. Jin who is passing by is thrown in by Natsuki as well, but suffers a leg cramp. Jin is thus washed down the waterfall even as Tatsuya rescues Feena, but nobody realises.

Just as Tatsuya is about to give Feena CPR, wreathlit appears and with a bolt of magic, wakes Feena up, spurting water all over Tatsuya. Tatsuya asks Feena not to always do dangerous things herself, but that she can depend on the people around her too.

Back home, Tatsuya finds Takeshi in his room together with Takeshi’s assistant. First, they show Tatsuya a clip of him attempting to do CPR. Even as he is aggrieved, Takeshi shows him a video of all the girls during the time where they were bathing. Of course, Mai catches Tatsuya watching ecchi stuff. Even as Tatsuya is bashed, Feena enters with Mia, catching Mai and Tatsuya in a compromised position… with Takeshi MISSING.

Later, Mia happens to ask about a locked room, since she has total desire to go clean it. It’s actually Tatsuya’s father’s study room, and out pours a story of the father. The father seems to be a japanese indiana jones, and Tatsuya and Mai are simply excited about his adventures.

Of course, Mia desires to start cleaning, but the Flying cockroach makes its appearance. And it just happens that everybody is terrified, especially since there are terrible rumours about it on the moon. Everybody flees, but nobody realises that Mia had fainted and remains behind. In the rush, Tatsuya and Mai falls down the stairs, leaving Feena as the only one capable of rescuing Mia, and she does it Rambo style.

Mia is found, but soon the pair are cornered without any ammo left. What can a princess do but to call in the calvary. A helicopter soon does a bombing strike on the entire house. This leaves Sayaka, who returns, “a tad irritated” at what everybody did to the house.

Thoughts

Animation quality slightly increase, even with all the chibis that keep appearing.

Humour is back as well… although it’s so lame that in another mood, you’ll probably find it utterly ridiculous and not funny.

I’m beginning this anime is one of those that totally suck, yet you keep getting drawn back to it, if for no other reason than to hope that it gets better. I really don’t understand how somebody as pretty as feena can be animated so ugly.
