*snickers* Much love for the dating sim-esque opening.
The guys are so goofy...and they're such fanboys. I'm vaguely amused by the somewhat sketchy sound effect everytime the reporter crosses her legs. Oh, but Taiko tried so HARD not to freeze. *laughs as they fight over the handshake*
...Reporter lady is not as nice as she appeared. And it's sad that I can think of easy ways that the footage can be made unflattering.
*sighs* As I figured. And, uh, wasn't it just the one time Box changed his gloves during the interview? I am not okay with the way they got presented. I think it's the otaku in me speaking, but STILL!
*snickers* I saw this coming, that the @DEEP people would have to help the reporter that effectively just badmouthed them. None of @DEEP going to enjoy this, I suspect. And the threat's from that guy who seems to be the creepy stalker, yes?
Dramatic statement complete with dramatic eating!
Pretty girl distraction courtesy of the Akane-chin girls! I'm amused...
Er, no. Otaku aren't naturally violent. Otaku that get insulted might tend to act that way, but then so might anyone else.
GAH, the news people are ALL assholes...
Now that I think about it, creepy stalker guy was a bit too obvious. And now they've got the wrong guy, but if they hadn't manage to irritate the @DEEP members, they might have better luck. Or rather, the whole mess might be cleared up already.
*snickers over the dramatic appearance*
The reporters are so awkward as they "immerse themselves in Akihabara".
How does Yui's site know which of them is typing when they switch abruptly like that? I keep wondering about that.
Picking up on the thought of "why don't we ever make any money", now they have money issues. I assume wherever they were living before, they're not (at least, five of them aren't anyway, 'cause there's that many sleeping spaces that I've seen) and the money they used to use for living expenses went into paying for the office space.
...That drink looks about as suspicious as any Inui Juice. And apparently doesn't taste any better. *notices Page hanging onto a trash can*
Akira's cosplay: Tokyo Mew Mew.
..Interesting idea, Box and Taiko. But, uh, how many female otaku have we seen at this point in the series?
??? This is the Otaku zombie bit, isn't it? Poor Box, opting to be the closest to zombie!Daruma. Whose little cubby thing did they board him up in, anyway? Not Page, Box, or Taiko, nor Daruma's...so which of the girls opted for what seems to be flowers?
I'm feeling Shaun of the Dead vibes here, but you know, I can't help wonder if there's some ploy behind this, that it's some elaborate hoax.
In other words, play dead? While standing and not thinking of anything and, in Page's case, making a silly face.
Izm: more effective at playing dead than Box, Page, and Akira.
I love that nobody notices Taiko-zombie until Box gets bitten, and then there's nothing to warn the others...
Zombies all around! And it was just a movie thing after all. Although...didn't that just increase the debt? Hmm, guess not, thanks to sketchy president. That should cover the money issue for a while.
Wait, what? Are they giving the money back? *is confused* Didn't they need money to pay the bills? So, uh, have they fixed the fact that they have no water?
Stationary from the frog anime, not that I remember the name of it or anything...
I see they went with the health drink option.
*snickers* Way to fail at sneaking out, guys. Also, your support of Akane-chin is not believable when you're all busily looking at the flyer for the other place.
...What is the program doing? And why do I think it was a bad idea to input the name of the sketchy president?
The dolphin=the image the AI uses to represent itself?
Well, I'm tired of the sound effect used to indicate cleavage/boobs now. I'm, uh, not surprised about Box needing to leave that place.
Flee! Flee the ero-maids!
Rainbow panties="legendary maid" status? Why do I find that incredibily easy to fake?
Akane-chin doesn't seem to change its costumes as much anymore. And the girls that abandon it all wear their new uniforms without showing that much cleavage. But at least they have second thoughts.
Nagomi uses underhanded tactics. Also, Daruma has, like, never left that place. But, what on earth is the connection between Nagomi and the creepy president? If I didn't know better, I'd swear he's using Nagomi as bait for @DEEP.
General agreement seems to be that Page needs to put the "planning time" phrase into his computer so there's no more stammmering over it, since he says it a lot.
...That is not okay, ero-maids. Really not okay.
The owner of Akane-chin is the real second legendary maid, isn't she? EDIT: Okay, I was close. And I was right about Nagomi's ones being fake.
There's a bunch of maids on the sidelines. I guess they're from other shops?
People have a habit of leaving abruptly around @DEEP.
...Possibly the most interesting opening image yet.
*snickers* Way to avoid the question, Taiko.
Page's hair is going crazy...
There's something I find eerie with the flashback Nakagomi: with the glasses, the hair, and the way he dresses, there's a bit of visual similarity to Page.
Daruma darumas. Oh, the punnish-ness of it.
This is clearly Box avoiding the issue.
Izm is only awake when most of the boys are gone, or brief flashes of frustration over the AI's actions.
Tousaka's current work worries me...and crap, yeah, that's what I was worried about. Definitely a bad idea for Nakagomi to know about Yui's AI.
...Why were we watching the guys in caps playing "first thing you think of" game?
It's not gonna be the motorcycle guy. They are, after all, making a guess just on the fact that he's got the figure and is "wild".
OMG WTF Mikiko? Now I'm confused...and now I'm not. The whole "stalker" thing was a setup, wasn't it? She didn't have any trouble at all to begin with, I'm betting.
You know, I was just guessing earlier that the bomb was in one of the darumas, but imagine my surprise when that's what actually happened.
...? So the revenge guy is all about the appearance of revenge, in this case.
I love how all the interactions with the AI turn into everyone wanting their own turn to type.
*is still puzzled by the fact that there seems to be one less space to sleep than there are @DEEP members*
What Daruma's thinking after hanging up on Nakagomi: Oh crap, the guy we were warned about's coming. Or, maybe "oh crap" in general, as most of @DEEP seems to have forgotten the warning message they got.
...Is his stuff better because he has more Gundam things? He did make the comment while looking at a Gundam model, after all.
Good for Page, who pretty much says exactly what I was hoping one of them would say.
Silly Shimoyanagi, acting like one of those game show folks and showing off the prices.
*snickers as Nakagomi ganks a snack before starting to leave* *snickers more at the DigiCap folks at Akanechin, simply because most of them look out of place* *stares in silence as Nakagomi drinks Akira's drink* That was kinda...impressive, actually.
Daruma's version of what happened is just a LITTLE off from the truth.
I dunno, I wouldn't want to have someone hear what my instructions were if there's a chance they could let their friends know...
Holy crap, convenient Ajita! But bad, no looting the @DEEP office! See how that just gets you into trouble?
Excellent spit take, Page...
Nakagomi's an ass. I keep asking myself if there's no way Izm's friend could have studied Yui's program over at the @DEEP office, but clearly Nakagomi wanted the program all to himself because of his unresolved Yui issues.
Page's rather quiet breakdown as Daruma starts to wake up just hits me so hard. I get the feeling he's been trying to hold himself together for the others a bit (given three of them either yelled at him or started crying with him around).
Oh Page...
To be honest, I really can't see the break up lasting that long. They're just linked too stronglu, I suspect. And heck, the melancholy reminescing music just digs the point in. Besides, Nakagomi's got Yui, and there's no way any of them are really going to let that lie.
I stand by my assessment of Nakagomi being creepy. Because now I have even more proof.
You know, I was thinking there would be sneaking in hijinks, in which various members of @DEEP came up with different plans to get in without consulting each other and then they ran into each other in the process. Not that I'm ruling it out yet, or anything...
What the hell is this "evolved otaku" business? Really, I think he means he's an otaku that's gone off the deep end. Because that's sure what he seems like to me.
*snickers over all three of the boys bringing the same thing when they go to visit Daruma*
*facepalms* Of all the bad luck...
You can't control a person, Nakagomi, even if the person is an AI. There's just something NOT RIGHT about it.
I recognize that ringtone from DDR, but I can't remember what the name of it is. Which is really frustrating, because I know I've DDRed to it and I have the mp3.
"He was the most susceptible." In other words, he was the one that was easy to hypnotize?
If they were anywhere else, the @DEEP members running through the street would be drawing a lot of attention.
And, uh, I do believe Daruma has dirt on DigiCap's new president. *chuckles* I do wonder how that little bit of arresting got managed, though.
*shakes head* This is a definite example of boys and their toys, with the glee over electric gloves.
This frontal attack thing is so not playing to their strengths.
A thought on the style similarity between Page and Nakagomi of the past: Page and Nakagomi are the two diverging paths. Nakagomi couldn't ever let Yui go and seeks to control her despite her wishes; Page can, ultimately, let Yui go because of her wish to be set free from Nakagomi. Hence Page getting the final blow in the confrontation with Nakagomi.
*smiles* And now we're following up on the "take your gloves off" line from Mikiko. Yay for Box!
...I agree with @DEEP and go WHAT!!!! over the capped guys really being police.
*likes their site design*
Suikoden IV ate my Sunday. Seriously, I'm, like, 14+ hours in and my party that I actually use is (full of ninjas!) somewhere around level 36. Main character's at level 38, and the ninjas aren't that far behind. The other parties are about at level 33, and I've got a number of folks that are below that, but they'll be easy enough to level later, when I'm not running into things like metal crabs that half-kick my ass. And someone stop me, I'm toying with the idea of cosplaying the main character. No more than one cosplay project in planning at a time right now, thanks.
Also, I should mention I wrote that last bit on Sunday night, and I'm somewhere around 24 hours and level 50 for the four characters I've been mainly using after playing all morning and afternoon. GRE studying isn't getting very far...
Things I've Learned by Reading Tenipuri: You can never, ever have too many spare pairs of glasses.
Things I Learned from the Lastest Tenipuri Chapter: Oshitari's glasses just don't suit Inui.
I've made a plan to go hunting for cosplay fabric on Wednesday, but we'll see how that goes when it actually happens.
