Moetan 2: Can't we all just get along

You know Ink-chan its better to piss on people rather than be pissed on. (Yes this picture is so wrong yet funny at the same time kinda like Post Colonial Africa)

So I just completed my one weekend a month commitment and separated myself from my 360. I have no idea what conscript Impz is doing for his 1 week thing, but I had fun shooting 9mm pistol rounds at mental image of Makoto. At any rate I just got the sub of Moetan 2 so I guess its back to work while Impz is chilling in his air conditioned tent…

In the blackest of night stalks an evil creature that the loli-con duck barely senses, in fact such is his laxity that he sneezes all over Ink-chan in a rather disturbing way. Next morning Kuroi Sumi, or more affectionately known as Sumi-chan friend of Ink, is fast asleep on a school day. Seems Sumi-chan is not much of a morning person and is predisposed to wearing a cat suit for her jammies. Thankfully for Sumi-chan she has a loyal servant ever at her side the newest graduate of the Mad Dog Meido University, Ruriko-san.

I see you wish to have a rocket fight. Hey no melee!

Being the loyal awesome meido that she is Ruriko-san spares no opportunity to discipline her charge be it tossing her out of bed, stepping on her tail or just whacking her over the head. Ruriko is an advocate of tough love. Sumi-chan takes a detour on her way to school to Nao-kun’s house where she sees Ink-chan waiting at his door step after an abrupt stop that sends Sumi-chan to the floor (she does not believe in seat belts) she debarks and hides behind a phone pole.

Ink-chan being the luckless adorable thing that she is again fails to walk with Nao-kun to school. In class Sumi-chan proves that while she has an ahoge that is mood reactive she still has much to learn. It’s around this time that we see how deluded she is in her rivalry with Ink-chan; apparently Sumi-chan blames Ink-chan more than people blame America.

Tempera Sumi roll out! No cosplay after nine. I said NO COSPLAY AFTER NINE!

Ink is later called upon to save a man in need, however it turns out this incident was an Impz a trap. A really evil kitty starts firing SSMs at the loli-con duck and what he presumes is a preschooler. The loli-con duck invokes the power of imaginary support and sends kitty packing.

Sumi-chan who had witnessed Ink transforming is now flushed with victory tries to get her groove on with Nao-kun. Nao-kun like any unwitting attractor of attention tells Sumi-chan that he has no time for kids and needs to go get a new game, Dragon Quest Swords. Sumi-chan promptly blames America Ink-chan. However content that she now has Ink-chan’s secret she walks away rather self assured. Ink-chan wonders if there are any consequences for letting Sumi-chan know that she is indeed Pastel Ink, much to her relief there are none.

Ink-chan then goes off to tutor Nao-kun who swiftly tries to make a pass on her. Embarrassed and overwhelmed Ink-chan insists that he start studying. Meanwhile Sumi-chan goes on a victory parade and encounters the kitty that had attacked Pastel Ink. The two are kindred spirits so they cut a deal. Sumi-chan becomes a magical girl and the kitty gets labeled Ka-kun. Ka-kun is also a Loli-con as his nose bleeds while he watches Sumi-chan transform. Hence forth Sumi-chan will be saving people and blaming Ink-chan under the guise of Tempera Sumi.

Ruriko-san does not approve and smacks Tempera Sumi for a bit, saying that her cosplaying is disturbing the neighbors. While Sumi-chan is getting disciplined Ink finds out that she is basically earning points so that Aa-kun can go back home. However Ink-chan has a fatal weakness for cake and drops the matter.

These teenage lolis are a handful always fighting. It makes me so angry…

Impression: I like how Ink-chan is a bit more aware of how Aa-kun is always leering at her. While I lament the lack of subs for Mononoke, Moetan at least has proven to be one of the better bets this season for me. I hope Ruriko-san gets some more screen time as combat meido is a nice addition to break up the loli-con fodder. I pity her lot in life forever waiting on a child and her loli-con cat, at least she isn’t serving some worthless doormat. I like Sumi-chan’s mood sympathetic ahoge, makes her much less annoying, even endearing. Her life motto however needs to change; “don’t forget” lacks punch and staying power.

That being said while the lack of Kevlar in her out fit is deplorable I don’t have much against it. It seems that Sumi-chan’ opposition to Ink-chan is highlighted by the buttons on Ink-chan’s uniform and the zippers on Sumi-chan’s. It also shows in how Tempera Sumi has a red and black get up as opposed to Pastel Ink’s blue and white. Hopefully the fun continues in the best mahou shoujo parody in my recent memory. As for this Aa-kun and Ka-kun sub plot I hope its nothing even remotely serious, however I can rest assured since cats with anti-tank rockets is about as non-serious as you can get.
