False Opening
Nocturne Girl’s School Lacrosse Team
…and here I thought they pulled a Haruhi opening on us with the false anime opening. Now for the real opening….
Opening Theme
Chouhatsu Cherry Heart by Milan Himemiya and Chocolate Rockers
First thing I must mention is that this opening goes fast…. it was a pain in the backside to get images off so I randomly took images (Since my video player didn’t like the pause button for some reason). Anyway I liked the original Nogizaka opening and the one of this season is even better I think. I really like the magazine layout they used and I doubt the song would have worked with it any other way. I am really curious if Miran will appear in the series or she is just there in the opening sequence… I wonder… Enjoyed the song through.
Ending Theme
Himitsu Suishou! Uruto LOVE by N’s
My only comment on the animation is that it is good. Nothing special however it is appropriate enough, althrough doesn’t leave a dent on the opening, is suitable for the ending credits I guess. Song is pretty good ass well.
Opinion
Honestly, I had an on/off relationship with the previous season and I only watched about half the episodes in it depending on what was on that week. This season will most probably be the same and honestly, Hot Springs episodes are pretty *Yawn* to me. Anyway, I don’t really understand why they needed an even younger killer loli to be in the series… I mean Mika was enough however they decided to add in another maid called Alice who specialises in well… being a bodyguard and general violence, thus the dangerous weapon. Ignoring that however, no real major main characters added… not sure if the other classmates were in the previous season. The storyline of course is just a generic hot springs episode however I expect future episodes to have more storyline to them.
The wonderous mystery of fog…. fog is plentiful in this episode as it seems to be a means of justifying the hiding of otherwise potential nudity in a number of scenes, which to be honest is fine with me. Still it is illogical to think how the male side of the springs is completely fogless whilst the female side is almost drowning everyone in it. Character designs however are still as good as last season and the settings are above average. Music and sound effects are also suitable to the settings even if some are not my style (A tad to classical in some scenarios).
I wonder if the Lacrosse Team anime will be a recurring one…. Anyway I will watch each episode of this on an episode to episode basis to start off with so chances of blogging is average at best at the moment.
