Sekirei - Episode 9: "Veil and Wind"

Those are definitely two things. Two things that have some resemblence to what is going on in the show. So, okay. Sure. WHY NOT?

LAST TIME: The game is still moving on to the next stage, while our team is more concerned that some player is not playing by the rules. They decide to punish this player, who is, in fact, one of their friends in a different outfit! Will she reveal herself? Will they defeat her and immediately regret it? Will that stupid Flower Lady show up and just completely negate the fight? We will find out!

0:14 What? No cold open? How can I be shocked by stuff if you don’t have a cold open?

1:20 I just saw some lady with a sword in the opening credits. I wonder who the hell she is.

1:45 Ah, the view of the coward from behind a grate.

1:58 I’m just going to walk over here, you guys.

2:29 She has to say a line when she wants to stop her power from happening?

3:18 GUYS! Check out these breasts!

3:57 Is this bottle empty? I’ll just check by turning it upside down over my fingers?

4:32 AND…Flower Lady teleported away with the lady in the cloak. So there we go.

5:17 What are you wearing on your head, dude?

5:34 He used to have a job? Since when? Oh right, for exactly two days in episode 3. Why did he quit again?

5:45 I’m just going to stand here while you are obviously take off your dress, and then will be shocked when you don't have it on anymore.

6:51 I have no idea what these characters are talking about. It seems obvious, but I’m still confused.

7:18 I’m just falling from the sky for no reason whatsoever!

7:57 Wait, so this guy (who also has a sekirei) rented the exact same apartment that the main character used to live in? Is he just better at playing the Tripper Gambit?

9:19 Why wouldn’t this sekirei be able to fight? Because she’s a big ol’ wimp!

10:05 Let’s be friends again by doing the most obvious thing, TAKING A BATH TOGETHER!

10:35 These dudes have a lot in common. And they decided to use the term soulmate to convey such.

12:09 Oh heck really!? They are actually bringing up the plot point that I imagined last week? About being defenseless while bathing? Wow.

13:05 The Blue Sekirei is a she?!

13:35 This guy is a legitimate dickmouth. Stop insulting your lady.

14:38 And…shenanigans. Just nonstop shenanigans.

14:55 The Sekirei who wants desperately to protect her identity decided to get falling down drunk.

15:22 Why did they take their bras off to go to bed!?

16:19 There will no violence, including hitting people with water balloons.

16:54 Please watch while this lady puts on a shirt. It’s not creepy in any way.

17:47 Maybe if you wore a shirt, this wouldn’t be a problem.

18:35 “Calm down, Blondie, we’re discussing matters of love.”

18:53 Wait what? All he has to do is get all his ladyslaves together to fight against the government? Why doesn’t he do that?

19:31 Hang on, there was only one of those before.

20:11 That’s great and all, but, why are you telling him this?

21:06 What? Wishes? I was talking about escape plans? What the hell are you going on about?

21:55 That was a super pointless scene that completely betrayed any sense of timing that we had.

23:05 One of the lines in this (fairly catchy) ending song is “I wonder if I could stick a flag in him.”

23:40 And now, the sister has been relegated to voiceover status, as she doesn’t appear to be willing to show up ever again.

Verdict: Yep! Just as I thought! They completely cancelled all the fights and just did more wandering around nonsense. Good job on the over the top misogyny though. That was fun.
