Stellvia DVD 4 — Episodes 11-13
June 23, 2005, 3:07 pmCan I just take this opportunity to say how much I hate only having three episodes on a disc? I mean, I’m always very unlikely to sit and watch all four or five episodes on a longer disc, but only having three always seems so anti-climactic. Okay, now that I’ve said that…
I’ve had this disc for a while, but was reluctant to watch it. When I first started watching this show, it gave me the impression that the Great Mission was going to be at the climax of the series. But then it happened in episode 10, so I wasn’t really entirely sure what to expect after that. And when it seemed that what followed would be a plot with some kind of aliens of all things… well, I got a little concerned.
But now that I’ve finally sat down and watched the disc, I have to say I’m very happy with how it’s turning out. The episodes on this volume meandered at a very leisurely pace, which was nice after the chaos that was on disc 3. I especially enjoyed episode 12, the obligatory Christmas episode, wherein Shipon and Kouta-kun finally hook up (yay!). The best part was Shoujin-senpai (the ninja of the Big Four) trying to give Shipon a ninja throwing star for the top of their Christmas tree. “You can paint it…”
I still don’t really understand the dynamic between Yayoi and Ayaka (although I’m starting to see why the yuri fans are all over them), nor do I understand the dynamics of Shipon’s family. What the heck is the deal between Shipon and her mother? It confuses me more than anything.
And now we’re going to go fight aliens yay?
