You were right! It was a pretty funny first episode!
Episode 1 -
Warning: Spoiler!
It opened with an exciting space chase – can’t go wrong with that!
Poor Rito, it seems fate is constantly against him when it comes to telling Haruna he loves her. His best friend tells him that it's because he isn’t used to girls. A naked space girl appears in the bathtub with him and he's holding onto her breasts. He can’t stop staring at her, even after letting her go. Best line – “are you finished?”
She is Lala from Deviluke and likes to invent things. I liked the way she showed Rito her tail – poor, poor boy! Peke is a costume robot that she made, but it looks as if it's rather painful when it dresses her.
Of course, Rito is a chivalrous male and helps Lala get away from the bad guys. Of course, Haruna sees him with another girl – that is probably going to cause problems eventually.
In protecting the lady, he even stands up to a guy named Zastin, thinking he will die for sure, only to find out that Lala is a runaway. She brings out Mr. Roaring Vacuum and it sucks everything up, including Rito, because she forgot how to turn it off. It finally explodes and Rito is just glad that she didn't use it in his room.
The next day, a bandaged Rito walks to school and almost has a fit when Haruna stops him. I’m sure she wants to ask him about the girl from the night before. He interrupts her and finally gets his confession out, telling her that he loves her. But when he looks up, Lala is standing in front of him. She feels the same way about him and wants to get married. Haruna ends up looking shocked.
A great way to start a series! I think this will be a good comedy with plenty of funny misunderstandings.
I'll leave it to LadyOfWicca to summarize ep. 2. It was a tad predictable, but nonetheless funny for it. Now, if only more mail order items had a similar return policy...
