Somewhere, deep in the mountains of Japan, a band of weary travelers find respite by the hospitality of a friendly innkeeper. But the innkeeper's secret and perverse desires leave our heroes in danger, forcing them to fight for their freedom, dignity, and perhaps their lives in an ultimate battle between good and evil. What shall become of our travelers? The future shall be decided on the battleground of yore, where the blood of their ancestors had long been spilled, their sleeping spirits awakened to guide them and provide the strength necessary to defeat this horrific foe. Let the match begin, where life hangs in the balance, this match to end all matches, this match - of ping pong.

Seriously, though, it was a fogtastic finale, with plenty of comedy, some last minute character development, and (apparently) more fanservice than ever. And the ping pong match proved to be perhaps the most enjoyable moment of the entire show - a great way to finish things.

Of course, astute viewers will notice that this episode marks the end of the "First Season" of Girls Bravo. In other words, there's more to come - in January. I look forward to it.

Don't worry, season 2 starts in Jan, and it'll be on WOWWOW. No more censoring for Girls Bravo! Oh, the uncut eps are now being played on the PPV channels, so eventually, hopefully, Lunar or another group subs them.

"The network can censor us in Hell" was the funniest thing I've seen all day :)

It's ironic Girls Bravo of all series was censored, since it's completely driven by fanservice--take away the fanservice, and the storylines that only exist to put the girls in positions to provide fanservice, and there wouldn't be much left. It's been fun to watch anyway just for laughs and service--although my dream for the second season is Fukuyama gets run over by a semi in the opening credits (although Risa can stay), Kirie gets breast reduction surgery to have a little more human proportions, and there's a real plot.
