And here I was thinking that Princess Lover was the best show this season. Little did I know we were in for some epic rock breaking and soul harvesting in Tokyo this season with Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 shaking up our 5.1 surround speakers. I don’t know if there’s any hype around this but it certainly isn’t enough. I’ve got high expectations for this show.

The story revolves around a cynical and slightly spoiled teenage girl in juniour high. As life goes on normally around her, she seems to be irritated by every little thnig, and is never in the mood to do anything.

But she helps her brother out planting his plants anyway, despite hating herself for doing it.

Her mother too seems to be a very busy businesswoman. It seems like the kinds of stressful lifestyles undertaken by her parents have had an effect on her.

Of course, this episode focuses on how life in Tokyo goes on so normally around her, but she doesn’t like it that way.

Even bringing her brother to a robot show seemed to be a chore

But in the end of the story you see her suddenly being endowed with Haruhi-like powers when she gets into another one of her moods again and wonders why everything makes her so angry.

She writes in her blog “I’ve had enough. Everything is so troublesome. I wish everything and this world would just break.

At that moment, shit hits the fan.

    I’ve been looking forward to this since the first time I heard about it. I don’t know, it has that “click” effect on me.
    Mirai’s attitude is kinda annoying me, but It’ll probably change gradually( pfffft, ungrateful teens).
    Anyway, anyone else thinks she haz super powers to change reality?

    For god’s sake, BONES, spend a little money on the character designs! Let’s not fall back into the dark ages before the moe revolution!

    Revolution for you maybe, but this is a Noitamina show, and they’re pretty much anti-moe.

    Well, for the most part they target an adult non-otaku audience, which is not the audience who likes moe in Japan (in Japan, the moe followers are the otaku). So it can’t be helped.

    Personlly though, I like it as it is. If you want moe you can go watch K-on or Kanamemo (they’re plenty of those show really).
