Uta Kata 04


When mystery lady isn't busy standing on telephone poles, she's busy trying to kill people. Run, little squirrel, before she kills you, too!

I guess you could argue this is a mahou shoujo show of sorts, but despite that, very little time is given to fantastical elements. While much time is spent each episode setting up the situations for which Ichika must use her power, there's usually only a few minutes left by the time she does her transformation and deity-summoning thing. I'm not sure if this will continue to be the case as the story grows increasingly complicated, but it's nice that the show spends more time on the characters and the narrative than stock clichés.

This episode confirmed Manatsu as my favorite character, she has such great expressions.

But I just can't get over how every single person in this show looks like the younger version of SOMEONE from Kiddy Grade.
