10 Second Anime - Ore Monogatari!! - Episode 10



Takeo and Rinko get stranded overnight in the mountains.

Heh.

To make up for Rinko's birthday date being cut short, Takeo arranged for a picnic, but he realized it was more of a hike.

 

This outing was something he and Rinko planned all by themselves. Good. Even better, they got out of trouble by themselves too. This couple is going to be just fine.

There was no way Rinko was going to let some stupid hawk fly away with Takeo's birthday brooch.

 

The introduction of Rinko's freakout spirits was cuteness overload. Especially the scene where she knew she was going overboard and was trying to haul them back.

 

Wow. Takeo's dad is one handsome man. And he does keep asking his wife how she is every 5 minutes, just like Takeo.

 

I liked how Rinko's friends were freaking out over her spending the night with Takeo, but they never questioned her safety. Meanwhile, Takeo's friends and family barely took notice that he was gone.

10 Second Anime - Ore Monogatari!! - Episode 9



Takeo celebrates Rinko's birthday with their date, but she encourages him to stay with Suna at the hospital during his father's surgery.

Heh.

This is the second episode where Suna's little figure has been added to the cake in the opening credits. All three of them are on there now, showing that this isn't going to be just a romance comedy, but a story about friends.

 

I almost shed a man tear at the beginning of the episode when Takeo couldn't express in words about what Suna was going through. The bro fist said it beautifully.

 

We still saw many cutesy date-type things, as only Takeo and Rinko could do them. Takeo juggled bowling bowls and Rinko barely got the lightest ball to make it all the way to the end of the lane.

 

I loved the use of of Takeo's big red shirt to show what he was thinking.

10 Second Anime - Ore Monogatari!! - Episode 8



While Takeo lives through happy times, Suna suffers a family crisis.

Heh.

Suna is being too much of a wingman here. Just because his best friend is happy with his girlfriend and becoming an older brother soon, it doesn't mean his own bad news is going to mess up his fun times.

 

Mrs. Gouda is still a good mom. She knows what Suna is like too, and how he tries to keep his problems to himself.

 

I wonder if the time Mr. Sunakawa collapsed was because he was helping carry Takeo after an accident. The flashbacks showed some clues about that.

 

If you ever wondered what cherubs with Takeo's eyebrows, nose and lips stuck on to them like a Mr. Potato Head look like, now you know.

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.

10 Second Anime - Ore Monogatari!! - Episode 6



Rinko admits to Ai that she wants to hold hands with Takeo and "stuff." Takeo accepts Rinko's other secrets.

Heh.

Well, it really was all as simple as Rinko being physically attracted to Takeo and worrying that he wouldn't like her anymore if she wasn't the "pure-hearted" girl he thought she was.

 

Hoh. Rinko had her heart set on Takeo from the beginning and she did many brave and somewhat sneaky things to make sure she made the most of her chances with him. Like going to his school to ask who he was and where he lived and even forgetting her cellphone on purpose so she had an excuse to see him again. Girls have their own weapons. Kinda scary...

 

Rinko and Takeo fangirling over Takeo's looks and physical qualities had Suna wanting to get out of there.

10 Second Anime - Ore Monogatari!! - Episode 5



Ai, Suna's older sister, comes to visit and reveals something major when she discovers Takeo is in a relationship. She decides to help Takeo understand Rinko better.

Eh?!

Suna's older sister Ai is in love with Takeo!?? I just needed to get that out of the way. We were barely introduced to her in a flashback sharing a funny moment about Takeo with her brother. As expected, she's absolutely stunning and turns heads as she walks down the street, just like her little brother does.

 

After I thought about it, it wasn't that surprising that she developed feelings for Takeo like Rinko did. Knowing him as a normal kid who's just bigger, it makes sense that she would accept him as part of her life like her brother did. She was already inside the gruff exterior of the big kid and appreciated his big heart and helpful nature. A little scene where seeing some lilies at a flower shop brought a smile to her face made it apparent that she has a Takeo story that sparked her attraction.

 

This revelation of her big sister love turning to something more made me laugh out loud because it used her total shock and devastation at the news of Takeo's relationship. That was good stuff.

 

 

Heh.

Uh oh. Rinko has a secret. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a big misunderstanding about Takeo not touching her until she's old enough and how she's a bad girl because she wants to be held. Takeo's pronouncement that "she has a pure heart," must feel like a dagger to a girl with, well, a pure heart.
