"Ai to Shi no Arabia" Review

[wao_wao]

If I went in chronological order the next backlog post would be about Dracula, but I've become anxious about posting my thoughts on Ai to Shi no Arabia / Red Hot Sea before I forget them all. So. We'll see how long this gets.

Do they know that Egypt =/= Arabia?

To be fair I don't think they actually wrote this one; if I remember correctly it was based off a novel written by an honest-to-god white person, who probably knew less about the middle east than they do. :D

Julie: I think you need to narrate all bad shows from now on. :D (Start with Excalibur. :P)

When I said they, I meant the writers, sorry.

(MY DVD CAME!!! AND YOU GAVE ME WONDERFUL SHINY PICTURES OF WAO!!! *goes into paroxyms of glee*

[kalen9]

Fair enough, sorry. ^_^;;

Oh good; glad to hear it. Wao-in-an-eyepatch never failed to amuse me, so I thought I'd pass it on. ;)

I know you said that the brother/sister dynamic makes it all easier to swallow, but again, the result is a lack of combiness.

There is very rarely any real winning. Alice-chan gets her dream role as a result of Ume-chan being injured. Ayane-chan continues her legacy even after Osa-san has left her. It's rather like a Monkey's Paw scenario.

Anyway! Happy thoughts! I don't think I'll be able to write about Red Hot Sea tonight, but I will tomorrow! :) <3

Color me astounded that a well-read person such as yourself could not know of The Monkey's Paw. Or perhaps you don't agree with my allusion to a much-desired thing coming at an unfortunate price?

Thanks for the review! Sounds like I need to remember my binoculars for this one.

[wao_wao]

When would you not bring your binoculars to a show? ;P

[quinquin]

Good point :-)

[violet_tango]

In some way this sounds to me like adorable pointless pretty entertainment. And I still think I'll like the show. :D

Thank you so much for the review! <3

[wao_wao]

I don't think there are very many Zuka shows that have absolutely NO redeeming features. As long as you can find something (someone) to love, it's usually worth sitting through at least once. <3

Anyway, you're welcome! Look forward to the redeeming qualities of the revue!! ^^

[violet_tango]

Oh, I think there are quite a lot of beautiful girls to look at <333

Yes, please!! :D

[wao_wao]

You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!! <3

(Did you ever hear back from Toyoko's club?)

[wao_wao]

It felt like I waited ages to get the first packet of information from Alice Club, so yes, I'd say it's normal and not to worry yet. :)
