White Album – 11: Miss Rina Keeps Rolling Along

First to fight for the right,
And to build up women’s might,
And Miss Rina Goes Rolling Along
Proud of all she has done,
Fighting till the battle’s won,
And Miss Rina Goes Rolling Along.

So with the end of finals and the agonizing wait for final grades White Album was much more enjoyable this time. No Rina’s M-16 guitar was not the crowing achievement despite what omo and Kabitzin might think, rather it was the funniest episode to date as Touya wept like the pansy he is. Oh it was music to my ears. While decent people like usagijen have called it quits I think she cut and run all too soon. I find it strange that there are those who are quite close to cutting and running too but I suspected that all along the drama was going to get stupid quick if only because only Rina has a brain and Touya is a Shinji Ikari with “problems.” No comrades this is no drama this is the tale of a bunch of losers from 1986 who created faux problems in their still booming 1986 economy.

Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
Miss Rina’s on her way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong
For where e’er she goes,
You will always know
That Miss Rina Goes Rolling Along.

Mr. Eiji cannot add,
And his math is mighty bad,
And Miss Rina Keeps Rolling Along.
Mr. Eiji Can’t divide,
Nor can Eiji count to five,
And Miss Rina Keeps Rolling Along.

Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
Miss Rina’s on her way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong
For where e’er she goes,

So it seems that Rina and Yuki are to work as a team to defeat the Reds, but the war effort has already been compromised as Rina has discovered the first hints of Yayoi’s treachery. Sadly Rina has to keep it under wraps because Yuki is so pitifully weak that she needs Yayoi to succeed. Nevertheless the knowledge that Rina’s efforts to keep Yuki and Touya together are failing do not sit well with her. Touya proves more than useless as he sits around waving like an idiot off key and everything while attempting to do the YMCA, which he fails at simply because his is Touya and failing is what he does best. The rest of Rina’s band quickly realizes that Touya is Rina’s lowly pet, but the truth is he’s more like a parasite, as he sucks up money and gives nothing in return except treachery. Touya even demanded a favor from the Master of Echoes who refused to do Touya’s bidding, so like a punk Touya drops Misaki’s book off anyways and leaves. Man it must have been easy to get a job in Japan in 1986 and they wonder why their economy tanked…they did not know how to fire lazy workers.

In the storm, in the night,
Hiiragi’s calling left and calling right?
And Miss Rina went rolling along.
In and out, hear him shout,
Counter march and right about,
And Miss Rina keeps rolling along.

Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!

Last to fight for her rights,
Yayoi has a lot of lice,
And Miss Rina Goes Rolling Along
Proud of what she has done,
Yayoi’s fucking Touya to get a son,
And Miss Rina Goes Rolling Along.

Mana and Yuki decide to start working out and trying to move on with their lives…okay I can’t even type that in good faith. Instead it becomes the Touya admiration society for chumps as they start trying to get convince the other to give up Touya. Sadly this bitch fight is lame, but what can you expect from ugly looking meat bags? Misaki wants to be all lonely so Tamaru can rape her, seems Misaki is stringing Akira along who is very much aware that Misaki is not only backsliding like the dirty little whore that she is but also is dumb enough to go off alone with a broken leg while Tamaru stalks the halls of Yuungai College for the Ronin Rejects of Area 11. The continual stream of lose continues as Touya starts going on about missing Yuki…yeah I am sure he misses Yuki every time Yayoi stick her tongue down his throat. Let it never be said that Touya’s selfishness has a limit as he remains utterly oblivious of how Rina is agonizing over how she will set things right again. All is for naught as Touya is spending time in yayoi-san’s car as he weeps as if he had a miscarriage, while Yayoi licks his tears of lose and fail to increase her own levels. Apparently the stalkers Tamaru and Hiiragi are too cowardly to finish their jobs though Yayoi is starting to feel the fear and proves how she even fails at driving like she fails at life. In the end though Touya excuses himself from Rina’s orders citing that he and Yayoi are going to have a meeting…it is then that Rina pieces it all together and is the first to figure out what the two have been doing behind Yuki’s back.

Master Echoes isn’t fine,
All because Touya has no spine.
And Miss Rina Goes Rolling Along.
Touya cries, and talks crap,
Master grants him a backhand slap.
And Miss Rina Goes Rolling Along.

Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!

Not content to be a small failure Yuki still struggles with her vocals as she dreams that some one had the good sense to sever the line of communication between her and Touya. Well next time Touya shamelessly goes with Yayoi while he pines for Yuki… Indeed the stench of eroge adaptation is starting to get hideously powerful now that Touya is hilariously weeping about Yuki while in Yayaoi’s car as she licks him. What loyalty Touya has! It is little wonder why his dad kicked him out of the house, not tears for his dead mom but plenty for his faux love for Yuki.

What more needs to be said other than I enjoyed Touya weeping, I am sure some loser eroge playing punk ass motherfucker would find his predicament sad…fortunately I believe in antiquated concepts like honor and loyalty so I found it hilarious. It’s really pathetic how he tries to look like a decent guy, but the truth is that Touya philandering about in a manner only a loser harem animu male can. After all this genre does promote a debased form of behavior, even if martial prowess has waned it seems that decisiveness is all but extinct. Akira is also failing in his duties as well, it is time to make Misaki pay for her sins and let Tamaru assault her for her idiot insistence on trying to stab Yuki in the back. I suggest that Padre Akira abandon Misaki to her own devices as the damn cripple gets assaulted by the worst actor in the land, perhaps then Misaki will realize that her plot thread is a dead as Touya’s brain.

Yuki calls, she calls collect,
Thinking no one will suspect.
And Miss Rina Goes Rolling Along.
Rina knows, she really cares,
Cuts the cord to make Yuki scared.
And Miss Rina Goes Rolling Along.

Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
Miss Rina’s on her way.

Miss Yayoi cannot drive,
As Hiiragi gives her hives,
And Miss Rina Goes Rolling Along.
Yayoi cuts left, she cuts right,
Yuki screams with all her might.
And Miss Rina Goes Rolling Along.

Still Rina shines through once again by demonstrating how unshakeable her loyalty and devotion to Yuki are as she exhausts all her options. In the end though even one so great as Rina is unable to mitigate or even reduce Touya’s stupidity and infidelity, now that her suspicions have been confirmed she begins to realize how lost her cause truly is. What impressed me most was not her toy guitar, but that even now her loyalty is beyond doubt and shows no signs of cracking. Her response to the Yayoi threat is pragmatic, and as such it is, this time, distasteful as Rina knows Yuki cannot succeed without Yayoi. Touya is providing now help at all with his pathetic attempts at communicating with Yuki, and vice versa. I hope Rina makes a tactical withdrawal and simple keeps Touya busy doing pointless tasks to make up for the fact that he cannot do even one day’s worth of work to save his life. That way at least he will not have as much time to cheat. Rina has made me proud 11 eps in and still unflinching in her loyalty, Kampfer Fujii ought to adopt Rina as she is the only child worthy of his name and his secrets of staying badass in his golden years. I look forward to hearing Rina’s song in all it’s glory since it sounds like a winner to me. Eiji seems intent on failing at math and use arbitrary constants that don’t reflect reality, since this is all a game to him I hope that when his stocks are worthless that some disgruntled worker will stab him to death.

Next week Touya continues to fail in life…

When in rags, when he froze,
It’s clear Touya has the slows,
And Miss Rina went rolling along.
Faith in God, because she’s right,
And she’ll fight with all her might,
As Miss Rina keeps rolling along.

Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
Miss Rina’s on her way.

She’s licking high, licking low,
Why is Yayaoi such a ho?
As Miss Rina goes rolling along.

Touya’s crying left, crying right,
Now we won’t get home tonight
And Miss Rina keeps rolling along.

Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
Miss Rina’s on her way.
