Next time you can play hackee sac with Shotaro’s head…
With Impz MIA in the Philippines or where ever he is now it has fallen upon me once again to raise the standard of Kyoko in these parts. So this will be a three episode blitz in so that Impz can pick up without delay when he comes back. So Kyoko was in dire straights because her urge to squeeze the fun and life out of Shotaro was simply OVER 9000 in power level. After playing hackey sack with what should have been Shotaro’s severed head. She calls upon her effigy of Tsugura for guidance, Tsugura himself, and Moko-san, ultimately after a good talking to by Moko-san Kyoko strikes back at Shotaro after Moko-san’s noogie of powah. Once Shotaro sees Kyoko weeping the coward is over come by sheer terror and is utterly impotent as she kills him and tosses his lifeless corpse off the balcony. Well okay it didn’t exactly happen that way, but Shotaro was impotent and messed up the whole scene. Kyoko gets to mock him for failing at life.
Moko-san hates phone tag.
Ain’t friendship grand?
Noogie of love.
So it turns out Shotaro is powerless against tears and is left feeling ronrey when Pochi visits him instead of Kyoko. Pochi wants to cry but Shotaro stops her, right in front of Kyoko who makes no secret of her disgust. Well even if Pochi got a fever she’ll always have that video of her and that no talent Shotaro, she can watch it again and again… Kyoko tells Shotaro how much of a little bitch he is was for not helping a friend in need, Kyoko then starts dreamin of corn. Until Shotaro makes a pathetic attempt to man up, like everything else though it was a patented FISSION MAILED for Shotaro. Tsugura returns Kyko’s call but when he finally connects the rude little boy who cannot sing starts mouthing off. Kyoko then beats up on Shotaro…
So the next on has an new OP I confess it looks nice, and in one case real nice. So it seems that Kyoko and Moko are BEING FRIENDLY though Tsugura’s arrival initiates a bit of terror in Kyoko. Ren is none too happy about what had happened and Kyoko lies about her desire for revenge, sadly this only make Ren more jealous and every one takes notice. Moko is also mad that she did no know about Kyoko’s vendetta against Shotaro, and pressures Kyoko for the secret. Yashiro also takes a hostage to force Ren to spill the beans. In the mean time Kyoko gets a new job and Ren gets interrogated by Lori who says his rabu rabu acting skills suck as much as Shotaro’s singing. Kyoko and Moko have a heart to heart, but Kyoko dismissed the notion that Ren has any feelings for her. Instead it was decided that Ren saw through Kyoko’s lies and she resolves to apologize…it takes her a while to get over her fear. Ren accepts Kyoko’s apology, not that she needed to apologize for wanting to kill Shotaro.
You’re the only one who thinks so…
They got the take they were looking for…
Killing him softly…
So we finally hit the beginning of the Dark Moon arc which I am sure those who are still following this have been eagerly anticipating and Kyoko is none too happy that her rich oujo character is the Witch King of Angmar. In the end Kyoko agrees to take the part of Mio as she wants to see Ren in action. Sadly the former Mio is an ill manner old hag that throws her weight around and bullies the director. In fact there are many who insult Kyoko as some clueless no talent bint who used the power of LME to get her roles. Thankfully the heretics were soon cowed by the terror that is Kyoko, indeed it is better to be average than to be a coward. Soon even the old hag will learn the true meaning of fear…
All in all I look forward to the Dark Moon arc as those who have read the manga know is just so very fun. Shotaro was put in his place for being a terrible singer, but by no means as bad as Yuki from White Album. Pochi will at least always have her video though Shotaro can rage all he wants while in the heaven that is hell as we shall not be seeing him for some time. I look forward to seeing him rage impotently when he finds out Kyoko and Ren are starring in the same show while he struggles to sell his shitty CDs. I did enjoy watching Kyoko and Moko BE FRIENDLY, though it probably wasn’t meant to be interpreted in such a way. Lori sure likes his cigars, but fortunately for him he is at no risk for cancer. Poor Ren fails at being a romantic and earns him the ridicule of Lori which should take him down a few pegs. Next time Kyoko shows up the old hag. Maybe one day Kyoko can play a rich oujo, until then may she spread terror and mayhem in her wake.
Indeed you are powerful as the Emperor has forseen.
Kyoko don’t be mean, you know Shotaro can’t read…
Shotaro the point of getting a room implies that you also close the door…
Killing him loudly…
I prefer to take this one completely out of context.
Moko-san likes to be tsun tsun…
BE FRIENDLY now…
Me likes this new OP.
His gaze pierces earth, cloud, shadow, and flesh…
Well at least she isn’t a lecherous tanuki…
Moko wants to get revenge too.
Yes indeed.
Scared stiff indeed…
Okay Moko-san time to hear about your past…
Good day…
Kyoko is scared of only one thing…
Kyoko is not a jedi yet…
Stalking yes, spying no…
Oh look a new friend for Kyoko.

lol is it Just me or was Kyoko pretty much scared by someone throughout this entire episode. I love this series, its a fun show to watch on a slow day, or when your just bored. Also with Impz MIA doesn’t that technically mean he’s dead. This is a serious question but how many MIA soldiers actually come back? Also in the odd event that he does come back he’s gonna get you for touching his Skip beat. better get your rabid Impz shots from now.
Oh em gee! Kyoko is sooo funny!!! Sho, that guy is so complex. Does he like Kyoko or not??? Guys like that are a turn-off!
Ren, on the other hand…
(n_n)v
Thanks for the review.
~ Eri ~
Is it me or the animation for this episode doesn’t look as good as some of the past episodes? That’s a pity…… I want to see the greatness of evil angel Kyoko in EXCELLENCE animation!!!
YES! finally a Skip Beat post! thanks Crusader!
and I loved the addition of Kyoko impersonating Sho at the beginning with the wig. That was hilarious.
I also like the new opening because Ren’s wearing a (wedding) tux! haha
I was slightly disappointed that her crying scene didn’t seem as powerful to me as it did in the manga. But I dunno.
And I can’t wait for the transformation! It should be the next ep!
I’m glad to see another Skip Beat! post because we can never have enough of Kyoko-sama. ^^ The new awesome OP and ED are an added plus. Is it me or does the animation seems to have improved as well?
Sho’s speechless expressions were priceless. He gives stupidity and shamelessness a whole a new meaning. Although, it was refreshing to have him as comic relief and to see Sho actually thinking! Sho actually being considerate?! What has the world come to? Still, I like him. =^^=
After this video shoot, it seems Kyoko-sama will star with Corn-kun soon! Of course, there will be complications, but Moko-san is here to help with some FRIENDLY service, right? Anyways, loved everything so far and I expect more epicness from Kyoko-sama along the way. ^_~
I’m loving this anime more and more. How many episodes will it be? I hope they don’t end it too abruptly when there’s still so much to cover from the manga.
woopie- Skip Beat post
I really liked this arc because of all the ‘best friend’ development
Really liked the beginning of the Dark Moon arc *happy*
but I wonder who that new girl is o.o
Come and Rise Kyoko! Show them Terror and Mayhem with your Mio!! Teach those blasphemers the true way of Despair and Fear!!!
… I have a question is there any news on who is Reino’s VA?
@TorontoSyrup
Impz will be back he just ran away for some reason.
@Eri
Sho is an idiot plain and simple he does not know anything not even about himself…
@Kaitune
Indeed but it was bound to happen sooner or later…
@TwilightShiva
Kyoko has his character down.
@soyahoney
Shotaro thinking? I doubt it… must have been some left over twitch…
@Haruko
Supposedly 41 now…
@boo
Her name will be known in good time, all we need to know is that she isn’t mean.
@Kata
No news on Reino’s VA yet, though we have just started and there were a good number of chapters before that happened.
Woohoo! Another Skip Beat post! So is Impz really…
