White Album 02: Rina's Dynamic Entry

Neither can I Rina is AMAZING…

You see these White Album girls or KgNE girls or whoever is competing for doormats or what ever pile of bullshit passes for lovers these days. Yuki, Haruka, Hayase, I can’t even remember who because what’s the difference? Takayuki started a little shit shouting out some propaganda or lies and whatever bullshit he’s telling them. It’s absurd these girls are already dead they are fighting each other for someone else, something stupid Makoto, Takayuki, Touya there is no liberty or affection, there is no passion at all there’s not even a desire to be loved. There’s no sense in it, no sense in it at all. What would it matter if you butchered the lot of them? Would it change anything?

The Haruka Puppy.

Not much happened aside from Touya bitching about this and that as if his circumstances were worse than a kid living in a slum in Mumbai. I don’t get what’s so fucking mature about this sorry stack of shit, but hey if waiting for a phone call instead of studying in college is a mark of maturity this guy has it in spades. From my point of view there’s nothing redeeming about this guy, so boo fucking hoo that his little girlfriend is going somewhere in life. You think that if he really loved her he’d be a bit more supportive, but no he’s no help at all. His friend Haruka comes to his house like a lost puppy and he shuts the door in her face, real gentlemanlike I suppose. He finally goes out with Haruka to the park and he moans and complains about having to run, as to why he hasn’t bought his own bike or politely asked that she park her bike at his place is beyond me, but I am sure he had his reasons even if they were because he’s the kind of retard that buys Sonic Unleashed.

And yet he lets her violate Yuki’s space…

The inner monologues hardly make this twat any more likeable, despite having a friend all he wants to do is tell his friend to shut the fuck up when Touya started telling his lies about Yuki asking for cake. Some friend this Touya is, he goes behind his friend’s back to call Misaki sticking in his nose where it does not belong, either he’s insensitive or just plain dumb. Then he gets a call from Rina and he forgets about Yuki, indecision strikes hard and after one meeting his faith in his little girlfried is already shaken to the core. Makes me wonder if the tosser ever loved Yuki at all, seems like he needs to convince himself that he does or like most dipshits from the 1990s animu he’s willing to go for anything that looks female. Even if he’s got issues with his dad the tosser had the gall to call for money and turns around to return the food. Touya doesn’t want to cut costs he wants money to waste not money to feed himself on a decent diet. If they are trying for a sympathy angle I feel sorry for his dad who has such a parasite for a son. Touya calls in the middle of a prayer for money and when he gets a shipment of food he tosses it back. Maybe Touya wanted money crack, he seems stupid enough try.

Couch casted much, eh?

Haruka is damaged goods alright making late night visits to some one else’s boyfriend in the dead of night going off to the park all by themselves, I suspect that in the game when they got there they probably went at it like rabbits. Still jawing much ado about nothing revealed that Haruka likes to take credit for acts God because she prayed for them. That’s some Pat Robertson bullshit right there, but hey maybe she bough into the bullshit and fancied herself a goddess. If she needs help there’s a freaking hotline to some good people who really give a damn, Touya doesn’t seem to give a rat’s ass thinking that a walk is going to be the final solution to the Haruka problem. Well whatever her schtick is I guess it will be the subject of the next episode.

Yuki seems to be a doormat in her own right, in letting other people push her around, and needing Rina to hold her hand like some lost little girl. Heck I wish that it was Eiji doing some couch casting considering how Yuki cries plenty of fake tears. I was hardly moved I was disappointed that they did not have 8-track. Still Yuki wasn’t offering much spark this time.

Rina, Rina Ogata.

I heard you talking smack last ep…

Scared shitless, eh?

Poor Akira can’t catch a break Misaki seems keen on avoiding him and Touya beats him up to impress girls. Such a sad lot really, I hope when their friendship ends he gives Touya the ass kicking that he should have given that womanizer a long time ago.

Rina was the real mover and pusher in this one coming in and tearing that dumbass Touya’s little world asunder with but a glance. I have my doubts that Rina seeks to flirt with that stack of shit Touya, it seems that she wants to meet Yuki’s friends and make sure this dipshit Touya isn’t messing around, which he is of course. Still at least Rina has superb abilities in negotiations being able to force Yuki’s manager to fulfill her will. We shall see what he plan is but I am sure discussed it all in detail while talking to herself. What as great woman, one phone call and the loser Touya already wet his pants. This Rina is quite interesting to say the least, confident, smart, and blunt she’s my kind of scum. If it were to come to fisticuffs between Yuki and Rina my money is on Rina, though I suspect that it will be freaking Touya that tears their friendship asunder. Any ways this is Rina Territory now.

Touya being a typical harem animu male, aside I do indeed smell the glorious destruction of two friendships and much shedding of fake tears. I don’t buy into the maturity aspect given how Touya can bitch about everything. If anything these people aren’t mature and because it seems only Rina has her head screwed on straight that there might be glorious blood bath in the making. I am going to start a leaderboard for this one.

    Okay so maybe you aren’t going soft after all. Just found a new punching bag.

    I haven’t seen a trashing like this since I read a blogger’s vicious review of “Party of Five” many years ago. Most entertaining. Keep up the good work! I wasn’t sure about continuing to watch this anime, but you’ve put me in the right frame of mind to do so.

    @ Kaioshin
    Give it rest will ya, I am in an exceptionally good mood for various reasons. Heck what are you playing on the 360? Sonic Unleashed? You did not even pick up on the Far Cry 2 bit…

    The premise is a love triangle there will be blood. Did you even watch this show?

    @Northern117
    Like a shark I can already sense some blood in the water…

    You can either sympathize with the characters or enjoy their downward spiral. I hope to do the latter while extolling Rina.

    As someone who’s played the game, well, sorry Crusader, but no rabbit-esque humping commenced in the park; in fact, except Rina’s event scene (which, I remember happened backstage) every instance happened in a room. Yes, even the loli.

    As much as I like the anime itself, I LOL’d through this review. Seems like you just wanted to drop a nuke somewhere, and see how the cockroaches scatter.

    The only way these can become interesting is if one of the girl get pregnant from Fuji, another commit suicide in a train station and the other kill Fuji with a kitchen knife.

    Hahaha, Sonic Unleashed. If you really want to see a legitimate trainwreck then it’s the Sonic franchise. No actually, I’ve been playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and loving every minute of it.

    im just watching this show because rina just reminds me of a certain similar looking “ore wa uta kike” character from a particular spring 2008 show :)

    we’ll see how the plot goes, someone needs to photoshop the two characters into each other lol.

    Been greatly disappointed by this show. Slow storyline, douche main character and seems to be a lame copy of Macross F. The only redeeming feature it has is Rina (c’mon, she even has Sheryl earrings!) and maybe the manager, hopefully she pulls something Grace-esque.

    @Li Shan I’m not quite certain what this has to do with Macross Frontier. The only similarity I see is that they both have a love triangle(shipping fodder). Also, this is based off a visual novel released in 1998. I’d say the setup has more in common with KGNE or True Tears.

    Okay, I have not watched the second episode just yet, but the OP image look as though she’s being bonked from below and is about to cum. Just saying.

    @Nellie

    Ok, fine, you’re right. Had jumped into the SUDDENLY EVERYTHING IS LIKE MF boat. Besides the triangle, the fact that there are 2 songstresses (one that is doing well and one that is just starting out) and the storyline on how the triangle came about, everything else is dissimilar.

    Thank you, Crusader. After reading a couple of positive reviews for this episode I was starting to think that maybe I was missing something.
    This Fujii guy is a goddamn Makoto Itou in the making. He is already toying with the sentiments of 4 girls. His actions don’t reflect his thoughts at all.
    I don’t understand what an awesome lady like Rina could see in such a loser, unless it’s all a scheme to test his faithfulness.

    Amen! You pretty much said everything I had to say. Returning food his father sent him was pretty stupid. I hope his dad cuts him off completely now and he really starves.

    Gee, I don’t see the point of continuing to watch the show if you don’t like it?! Surely, there are better things to do out there..

    @Bonifacio
    Oh gawd there’s going to be a loli too…

    @pagan poor
    I merely launched at tactical nuke at the intended targets, Rina is awesome and that is what matters most to me.

    @Kaioshin
    You you certainly are Acre Late to the CoD 4 party.

    @JDMFLCL
    Rina needs to leap on to stage and sing from the bridge of a capital ship. She also needs similarly good out fits.

    @Li Shan
    It’s just a love triangle that is about to get real bloody.

    @Shin
    Yeah, I don’t know but I can tell…

    @Son Gohan
    It all depends on whether or not you can sympathize with Touya, I don’t and I won’t pretend otherwise. Yeah there’s more to it that Rina being a bitch to Yuki for no reason. Given how much she values Yuki herself it seems odd for Rina to try and come between teh two after their first meeting.

    @Nazarielle
    It’s clear Touya only wants money to feed his irresponsible ways, he’s a freaking adult he has no right to make demands. If he wants money the lazy fuck can work and earn a living. His dead doesn’t owe him nothing, he already help raise that lazy douche for 18 years, legally Touya is on his own.

    @animekritik
    I smell blood in the water and I want to watch it all go to hell and possibly back. I don’t like Touya (is that required or something?), I do look forward to watching him cry, besides so far Rina is totally worth it.

    Rina Ogata’s earrings remind me of Sheryl’s. They look a bit similar, but i say that that is the end of the similarities.

  18. Posted January 15, 2009 at 12:00 am | Permalink

    @Cherubium
    I hope you are wrong and that Rina will be almost as great as Sheryl Nome and compensates for the lose Touya is spewing.

    this review is brilliant. And the good part is that Rina is made of awesomeness for all the wrong reasons. How awfull must all the other characters be to make someone like Rina (that makes a pass on her friend’s boyfriend and we can easily see that’s not the end of it) likable?

    Rina gets Yuki to dump Touya, which entails hot lesbian sex. Good end.
