Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro na - ep 08
I don’t know if I can say the animation improved. It’s better than last week, but it still really sucks. *frowns* Anyway, Tatsuya and Feena shows their strong will to be together, and thus wins the approval of all their friends.
Following on from the last episode, Tatsuya tells Feena that he loves her. Together, they approach Karen for her acceptance. But Karen warns of the dangers that might follow. Basically, major chaos. Karen does not accept at all. But after grand speech by Tatsuya, Karen offers to consider and test Tatsuya. Method : Kendo match between Tatsuya and Feena. Feena is pissed, but Tatsuya accepts.
So cliche. Can’t Feena just lose the match on purpose
Since Tatsuya won’t give up, Sayaka gives her approval, and together with Mai, will support Tatsuya all the way. Meanwhile Feena is traumatised and does not leave her room, asking her mom if the decision is hers to make.
Natsuki apologises for the rubbish she said in last episode, but Tatsuya thanks her instead. Mock battle between Feena and Tatsuya. Yet Feena does not hit Tatsuya. Tatsuya’s not too happy about it, until Takano appears offering advice.
Takano takes over training, being the trainer of the royal forces. (HUH!?!)
Tatsuya takes leave from school, and goes to the mountain for training, leaving Feena feeling the blues in school.
Talking to Natsuki, Feena expresses regrets for what she has done, and for hesistating. If she kept to her princess duties. nothing would have happened. Tatsuya in the mountains, remain confident that Feena would be serious during the match.
In class, toyama offers a funny manga to cheer up Feena. She offers that as long as Feena and Tatsuya have a good relationship, all will be fine. The president of the Earth too offers her advice, that everybody just wants Feena to be happy.
Mia and Mai helps out at the restaurant in place of Tatsuya. Everybody’s totally confident of Tatsuya and Feena.
In the end, Feena decides to be serious. Fight on!
Same result as mock battle at start of the week. Except Feena smashes down a killer blow. Feena wins, though tatsuya blocks the blow.
But the both of them will not give up… bla bla bla cliche cliche cliche blah blah.
Karen will now lay her life down for the two of them to be together, seeing her their will is strong, blah blah blah.
In the cool night, Feena finally tells Tatsuya that she wants to be with him, and that she loves him. Just as they are about to kiss though, they are interrupted by Mai’s voice. This pisses off Takano, such a rare scene! But soon, they all disappear in 3 seconds
Thoughts
I didn’t really understand what was troubling Feena. I blame it on a poor story.
Sorry for the not very good write up… but it’s hard to do one when the anime bored you to death.
Seriously, in addition to better artistes, they need better story writers too.
Next up will be intervention by wreathlite i think. That should entertain me more

I just hate it that so many people don’t get this show, which has two great lead characters and some of the best romantic emotions I can remember. What’s troubling Feena? She doesn’t think it’s possible for Tatsuya to get good enough to put on a decent show in one week. The way they did it was not cliche at all. What would have been cliche would have been for her to lose on purpose. They were including the subtle idea that she couldn’t fake it, since she was honorable and noble. It would have been even more cliche for them to go on for episodes and episodes never quite declaring their love. That is the anime cliche, not this. There are a lot of things wrong with this series, but please give it credit where credit is due.

I concur with hashihime. I thought that, cliche or no cliche, the lead characters did what was the proper thing to do, and luckily, things didn’t get worse. Sometimes, the right answers are the boring answers.

I concur with both of you. Hashihime made some very good points, especially about the cliche parts. My views are wrong there.
I think the poor animation clouded my eyes and thoughts, literally.
But having heard your points, and thinking through them, I think the bad part is not so much about the storyline or cliche, but rather the pace of development and how the story is brought out. Kinda spoils the story a little.
