Now, that’s what I call Swinging Big… I mean a Big Windup!

Hail Kogarashi!

It feels like I’m being ‘driven’ (i.e. just feel like doing something random) to watch more raws nowadays out of ‘necessity’ (or rather impatience) when it wasn’t too long ago I didn’t mind waiting perhaps a week or two after the episode airs to watch a sub since there’s always something in between to occupy myself. It’s still pretty much the case, but now I’m looking around to find that besides Tower of Druaga (duh) I’m checking a lot more on the titles on my watchlist and finding that the episodes I want to watch have yet to be subbed… To bring the point back to this post, it seems like too long since I’ve had a good dose of Kogarashi (the previous episode had a sad lack of Maid Guy, which made watching the raw sooo not worth it!!) so I just had to make myself go ahead and watch this ep since it looks like a while before I see subs for eps 8 to 11 of Kamen no Maid Guy.

This episode had cow tits Naeka’s kendo club friends asking for Kogarashi’s help because they want to be better meidos to serve the cafe they’re working at, which is ’strangely not getting any customers’. Err, hint: the mass of otaku guys who happen to fall in the otaku stereotype hoarding across the street towards that Maid cafe that rejected you two for not being the ‘right size for the job’? Yea, that might have something to do with it.

It seems that the rival cafe has a crazy-ass manager-ess with crazier-ass b00bs (seriously, forget scoliosis, I’m surprised her back hasn’t snapped) who refuses to hire anyone who isn’t wearing a D cup or above. Naeka is sent there as to work undercover to uncover the secret to the cafe’s success… Not surprisingly, she finds that the cakes there suck, but that’s hardly what the customers are there for (The plan was just to get cow tits in a maid outfit obviously. Fubuki fans will be disappointed that she got groped into the plan, but chickened out in the end)

But blah all that, it’s obvious Naeka can’t do anything useful in this show, so again it’s up to Maid Guy to save the day! Using yet another one of his deux ex machina abilities (“Maid Guy Hameln Voice“, if me watching the episode twice served me right. Err, yea… raw watching helped me “very much” in today’s Japanese written test btw), he attracts all the b00b addled customers into his cafe and gives them all a taste of his exotic dessert delights!

Yum!!

Chocolate scorpion’s an actual delicacy. Unfortunately, you can’t be guaranteed that they’ll arrive in one piece if you order them online.

Well, it doesn’t take an MIT to tell which cafe is better – Kogarashi’s desserts actually attracted female customers as well (and not of the green-haired-stalking variety, fortunately or not). Kogarashi pwns again! And I won’t bother spoiling the predictable ending since it’s well, predictable (side note: it’s funny that with all the bouncy b00bies in anime, the word ’surgery’ never seems to be mentioned in conjunction with them)

Okay, the episode was worth enough just to watch Kogarashi in a baker’s hat XD (Sorry, afro dude from Yakitate! Japan, you’ve been outGAR-ed here). If I was a bit pickier, I’d say that there still wasn’t enough Maid Guy, especially to make up for the lack of him the previous episode since they had to devote quite a portion of the humour to the jiggly cafe and breast jokes (which Naeka’s friends had to be subjected to repeatedly, lol. If the flat loli was in this episode, she’d have died of self-esteem issues). Surprisingly I find the show passably funny at these, but nothing tops Kogarashi being Kogarashi – so give us more of Maid Guy himself, damnit! Or we’d just watch Kanokon or something -_-”

And I demand a Kogarashi cameo in Antique Bakery next season :P

Finally, I can’t seem to decide which of these two scenes is scarier to me…
