Whacky Races?
Yes Whacky Races, I assume you have seen how some of the races go in that series, and how the neko duo in this put in way too much effort in.


yeah, just barely. i think it has been around 15 years since i last saw saw an episode. and yeah, it did seem like the neko duo were channeling Dastardly and muttley

reminiscing aside this still was a good episode. don't mind the parallels to previous work a mucked up race when done well is still funny.

By the way, I wonder what the deal with those two cat(?) like figures is. Are they Shinki? I don't think either has ever referred to a master yet and they seem don't have the same body frame as the other Shinki.

Plus, I just noticed in the pic that DP put in the OP a Shinki with huge tits who looks like she wandered out of Queen's Blade. Come on, man, lets get her intro'd, stat!

Yes, you are correct - that is Mer-tits. The reason I didn't make the connection is that most of the time you see her behind a desk and front on, so her chesticles are not as obvious as in the pic. Good eye, though, fellow horndog.

seems that even hair is customizable for Shinki, since spoiler[Ann] had short hair while in the luggage

Episode 7

Where could 15cm tall robots go to keep cool, felt like a forehead slap when spoiler[it is clearly just the fridge, although it is also an extreme]. Kind of spooky with the freaky ninja/fox girl shinki, and with the added non-cute spoiler[clumsyness and fox fires]. Not usually too big a fan of those spoiler[ghost all along] stories, but I felt somewhat satisfactory when they spoiler[revealed after the emotional scene that her master was actually a ghost].

Wonder what the preview was implying about the next episode, whether spoiler[she is covering her joints and he is dating his pet robot, or some event makes her momentarily human].

Episode 8

Ann got spoiler[big, well it is not quite clear if the entire thing was some sort of virus induced dream], but was definetly entertaining, at least to me. Kind of like Chobits meets.... I don't know.

My favourite part would probably be with Kurara, her trying to apply knowldge to explain how spoiler[Ann might be big, before firmly staying on the idea she is a crazy human]. Spouting such gems as it being normal for a spoiler[girl going through puberty for the body to change, sympathising with tests being hard, and then telling her to see a shrink]. Neighbour shinkis weren't bad either, their stupid decisions are kind of expected. But I also enjoyed the imagine spot the master repeating the other lines, like spoiler[to see a shrink, and the "something sounds fuzzy"].

Apart from that we saw more humans than we had thus far.

The only part I didn't get was the very end - spoiler[I'm not sure why events looped back to the opening scene.]

assuming that it was all spoiler[just a virus induced dream] perhaps Ann thought it would be fun to play that game for real after spoiler[dreaming about it]
