Blue Seed eps 6-9

Hmm...we did turn a bit "monster of the week" pretty quickly there, didn't we?  But it's still all good.

I have learned that our resident computer geek is Yaegashi.  Yaegashi likes "adult" games and creates computer prediction programs with what animal Momiji will wear on her panties as the test.  I suspect Kusinagi hunted him down and demanded details when he found out.  Yaegashi also seems to love fighting with Koume.  Or rather, the reverse.  I detect future love.  Koume also seems to have a soft spot for puppies, and I don't think she got to blow nearly enough stuff up in these episodes.  I also think I need an icon of Koume in her pink lumpsuit, looking giddy at the idea of getting to shoot something.

There's also another Aragami hunter named Sakura, who seems to be a shinto priestess.  She doesn't like Little Miss Sacrifice Girl, and seems to have a thing for Kusanagi, who lacks the brainpower to notice either that or the fact that another girl fight object to his teamups with Sakura.  Then there's ANOTHER Aragami hunter who seems to be randomly going down and hunting down Aragami.  They said his name, but I was too busy being impressed by the fact that he had more hair than the rest of the cast combined, with about ten time as much body.

Kusanagi definately studied at the Retard Shounen Hero School of Courtship, and thinks "Idiot! I wouldn't save you if I didn't like you!" and "*munch munch* I've had worse *munch*" when a girl makes him lunch are romantic.  Momiji is wise enough to realize that her personal stalker boyfriend bodyguard pervert knight in shining armor Kusanagi seems to have made stalking her(and invading through her unlocked bedroom window) and saving her at the last possible second his life's work, even to the point of yelling out to see if he's stalking her at the moment at random times.  Like Amelia is Slayers, she is also very well aware that the wise thing to do when there isn't much shelter in a fight is to hide behind the guy who is really hard to kill.  Few things top practicality.  They do, though, need to discuss their personal definitions of "date" and "Aragami hunt" just to avoid mixups.

Kunikida also displays unconventional strategy in realizing that it would be GOOD for Momiji to become a celebrity so that people will like her(it's hard not to) so the government will think twice about pissing off the entire nation if they decide to sacrifice her like they did Kaede.  A vast improvement on the typical "we must keep her hidden for her own good" drivel.  Also, everyone is amazingly accepting of Kusanagi, what with his having been created by their enemies.  "Oh hey, it's the guy who's threatened to kill half of us before who was created by our enemies!  Do you know anything about *blah blah blah*  Let's talk about that Momiji thing..."  (Yes, Kusanagi, your badboy image was tarnished the second you noticed Momiji's girly parts and started saving her every second.)

I am also vastly amused by Kusanagi's angst.  Not only does he spend every moment he isn't saving or bickering with Momiji engaging in angsty staring, but he also has super angsty shadowed walking in the opening credits, and the rain streaked angst on the closeups.  I can only imagine what a modern anime would do with him.
