10 Second Anime - Ore Monogatari!! - Episode 7



Takeo helps the judo club win a match but his training prevents Rinko from seeing him for a month.

Heh.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, even if the absence is caused by a slight misunderstanding.

 

I like how these crossed signals between Takeo and Rinko are starting to get shrugged off. That's a nice sign of growing trust and deepening bonds.

 

Rinko compares Suna's friendship with her love for Takeo. Her fluttering heart may always be there concerning Takeo if Suna still finds him surprising and interesting after ten years close friendship.

 

Ha! Takeo almost scored a fatality on his old rival just by having a girlfriend by his side. Girlfriends are good, he said. Double ha!

 

The cliché among warriors is that having romance in their lives affects their discipline and strength. Suna gave Takeo the other side of that argument - show off for your girlfriend. Yes, love can be a source of strength too.

 

Takeo had a good reason for not being in the judo club - he forgot to join. I can see that.

 

Suna's deadpan humor got more play. Always a good thing.

 

There's always some kind of calamity in each episode where Takeo helps out. Last episode it was as minor as a cat stuck in a tree. This time around, the crisis was the plot of the episode, but no jumping through fire or catching falling beams. It was just a slice of life adventure where Takeo's two main relationships bounce off the circumstances. Kind of relaxing, actually.

 

I'm glad Rinko was aware that her stalking Takeo was kind of creepy. She's got it bad for her big hunk of man meat.

 

Best of all, Rinko began to establish a sense of normalcy by hanging out with Suna too. It's always nice when the best friend and the girlfriend become friends too. Nice people being nice to each other. Nice.
