osen 6
spoilerific since i've forgotten how to use lj cuts






AWESOME THINGS
shizu and osen--so like mother and daughter. i could feel the love. really excellent chemistry.

osen--at the beginning, when shizu is talking her into going on the miai, enjoying the life of a normal 23 year old. 'tatoeba, hamburger...' and when she got home from the miai, and says tanoshikatta! when she battled through her hurt feelings while pounding out hamburgers. plus the smile when she's talking w/ uchi/yocchan on the bridge (after sendo rushed to the western-style restaurant to say he had to cancel because of work)... that smile there is worth 50 thousand screencaps.

osamu mukai (tome) and his comical moaning. i concede the man has talent. honey and clover was an aberration due to woeful script and direction.

uchi was good, though he's still over the top now and then i think he's done a great job as one of the anchors of this series.




LESS AWESOME THINGS
not understanding what sendo said in the key scene at the end. if he was leaving japan, why would he go looking for a wife _now_, why employ the miai baba now? was he planning to take his new wife along like a light novel bought at the airport gift shop?

next epis. preview didn't look that intriguing, but as long as it's still osen with aoi yuu i'll surely be watching.
