10 Second Anime - Soul Eater Not! - Episode 2

Soul Eater Not! - Episode 2

Our fua-fua show begins now. The girls have to work part-time at a cafe. And some guys too?

Heh.

The little facial reactions of our girls, Tsugumi, Anya, and Meme are one of the key features of this show, and something I'm going to be looking forward to each week. From Anya's blushing tsundere expressions, to Tsugumi's strange outbursts (why Gargantos?), to Meme's sleepy, dazed questions.

Sleep fighting is good. Now we see why Meme has come to Death City.

How all the girls lose their allowance fits their personalities as we know them. Anya having no idea of the value of money, having never worried about it before we presume, blows it all on kitschy items from the market. Tsugumi figures she has to pay back a bully for smacking down the dorm mother when she was doing her best impression of Kathy Bates from Misery. And, of course, Meme forgets where she put her envelope of money.

The capable dudes have a reason for shadowing the girls: they're bodyguards for the "princesses." Now, we're supposed to assume Anya is a princess, but is Meme one too? Is Tsugumi a designated one? Interesting stuff, plus they have to work at the Deathbucks Caffe too.

Anya taking to waitressing, plus having to wear a short skirt, is pure cute girls doing cute things material.

Looks like the dorm is going to be full of interesting characters too, with "The Witch" and the fortune teller doing her best impersonation of Renge-chon from Non Non Biyori.

Hmm.

We're still very much in establishing the settings and characters our fluffy girls will be dealing with, but everything I've seen so far is fine. With our main characters following their archetypes faithfully, plus the satisfying reaction shots, I'm going to be happy watching this show. We've got the barest hint of underlying drama with our capable dudes, Clay and Akane, as the girls' secret bodyguards. Something to look forward to.
