Feel my wrath for cutting scenes!!!

The animators squeezed in TWO FULL CHAPTERS into this episode. When you are trying to force down that much content into a 23-minute show, you are bound to skip A LOT of scenes. The episode just felt so disjointed and rushed. On top of that, the animation went down as well! Well, let us just make the most out of it and get on with the Deep Frying

Popularity: 7% [?]

Announcing two upcoming games for the coming Autumn Season (what a long wait!). First off is this Kyou Kara Maou game for PS2 entitled “Shin Maou Kuni Holiday” which will now be the 2nd KKM game for PS2 to date, and the Ookiku Furikabutte game for Nintendo DS! There are no set dates for these games yet, but it’s still great to know that we have something to look out for~ Gonna be on the lookout for the updates on this :3

Shin Maou Kuni Holiday (??????) for PS2 (Official site)

don’t you just find this adorable? >o<

As expected from an anime like KKM, this is going to be a fantasy adventure game with an original story (a fun wacky story from what I can see), and will most likely be a simulation / adventure game just like the previous one. The great thing about this new Kyou Kara Maou Holiday game is that, it’s full-voiced!! The seiyuu cast will most likely be the same as the anime’s, and so fans will certainly be delighted to hear all the KKM characters brought to life once again, in this game Based from that picture I got from the official site, it looks like we’ll see the characters in SD, and I certainly hope we’ll see them in that form! ^-^

This is how you find out if your teammate is wearing a safety cup or not

Thoughts

Finally, we get to see the end of this arc. The game was quite exciting till the very end. No, Ren did not come up with a new, super powered, anti-gravity, laser-speed pitch to win the game. The Nishiura team utilized what they had, along with good strategizing, and a spot of luck to clinch the win.
