10 Second Anime - Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou - Episode 2

Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou - Episode 2

Bubbles for the bored. Art discussion on laundry day. Fright night introduces our last boarder.

Heh.

The slice of life formula means mundane happenings and settings provide opportunities to get to know our slightly off-kilter characters as they make jokes, usually at each others' expense. This show is no different, but adds loving attention to artistic detail.

If your fetish loving roommate is making a bunch of stuff with ropes and a big bucket, and then asks you to go buy some glycerin lubricant, what would you think? Yeah! He's making big bubbles! Wait, what were you thinking?

Ritsu shows off some of her personality with displaying that she doesn't want to join the bubbly fun, but so obviously wanting to join. Aww, she just needs a little push to be sociable. Ah, but when she gets some soap on her, Usa reminds us he is a normal teenage boy.

Flags flying stiffly, er... I got no way to back out of that one.

Ritsu shows more of that personality trait of trying to display no emotions as a sign of toughness, or strength, or independence, but when you're hiding your face from a horror movie, you may as well just admit it already.

The horror movie also gives us a hint about the missing boarder, Sayaka, when they use one of the characters to describe her. The plain looking mean one, which is in contrast to her cute looking exterior. I guess her neighbors know her better than we do.

Laundry day is always a good time for building closeness in a slice-of-life show, and a great opportunity for underwear jokes. Especially with how Shiro handles trying to wash everything at once.

Usa scores some major points with Ritsu by comparing the scene to The Birth of Venus. Good job, Usa-kun!

Geh.

Tell me again why Mayumi is still single.

Oh, right. The mood swings, deep blue funks, bouts of bitterness, and the drinking.

Hmm.

We only get a short introduction to Sayaka, who plays the cutesy airhead type, but her housemates know that's all an act, and she was only playing that up because of the new guy, Usa. We got the barest hint of her damaged side with a flash of competitiveness over how seemingly close Mayumi and Usa are to each other. Maybe Sayaka really is the monster in the darkened hall that comes out to get you when you least expect it? I'm sure we'll see soon enough.
