| Mei-chan no Shitsuji: Episode 5 review? |
[Feb. 15th, 2009|01:30 pm] |
 Mei-chan no Shitsuji: Episode 5 – my detailed overview Major spoilers. Really, really picture heavy. *Thanks to all the hard-working staff at d-addicts for doing such a wonderful and swift job with the raws and subs every week.
Raws and sub from there.
 Last time on Mei-chan no Shitsuji…Mei finds out all kinds of things she didn’t wanna know about…like how Rihito used to be Shiori’s playthang. Shiori wants Rihito back so that’s why Shinobu is all up in her business, making trouble wherever he goes. After that, Mei gets really deep in thought and that’s where we find her…face to face with the morally challenged, Lucia-sama .
Oh, Nana, I’d have the same expression too.
Basically, Mei’s feeling worthless.
So Shiori is going to have class with everyone now. Some of the fangirls students are surrounding her while the rest are telling Mei what a perfect, gifted, intelligent, gorgeous lady Shiori is, with no comparison anywhere else in the bloody world. Of course Mei feels singled out and crappy as a result.
Lucia tries, and succeeds, in manipulating the situation.
Oh, I can have class with everyone now and I can even take a few steps! Not. Help me Rihito-sama!
Sad Mei =(
Smug, white rat.
The bastard can’t keep his mouth shut.
To make things worse, pasty ass-wipe tells everyone that Mei is also a Hongo. Then, he goes and says that Rihito used to be Lucia’s butler a year ago. Lucia plays it off like she didn’t want pasty ass-wipe saying all this, but come on! Gasps all around.
Yeah, I knew you quiet bastard. But I don’t care. You’re mine, suckah!
Finally, the scene ends and they’re alone. Rihito tries to apologize about being Lucia’s manwhore and not telling her. She says she knew already and doesn’t care. I think she deserves a hug, Hiro. You know you want to.
They’re disappointed in Mei for covering up the truth. Like I want to tell you guys everything about my life, ha. You ain’t my bffs!
Shady Sole --hahahaha! They remind me of the borg.
The Soul chiks tell Izumi that a test is going to be given in a few days. Those who don’t pass, get kicked out.
 I love all of Hiro’s close-ups. Rawr.
Lucia wants to eat with everyone at her greenhouse of death. Mei politely declines because of the fangirls’ glares. She downs some pork and Miruku comes in and sits with her. She had told Shiori she didn’t want to eat with her skinny ass and said she wasn’t going to suck up to her, either. I’m sure Shiori wants her dead now.
Miruku says what she doesn’t like about Lucia is that she uses her butler to make trouble for everyone. Of course, Shinobu is at his favorite spot, the side of the door frame, listening in. Rihito sees and we get another smoldering look. (He needs to stop thinking and start doing. Preferably, something to Mei =D)
Izumi’s on the warpath.
Izumi finds Mei and tells her about the test. She’s pissed. Study, Mei! Study! And where the puck is Rihito when you need him?!
He’s with Rose, asking about Shiori and why the hell she’s ruining his time with Mei-sama. Rose is all aloof but asks if he’s really surprised that it’s been revealed how he used to Shiori’s butler. I’m not talking about me, Rihito says. Rose wonders out loud how Mei will deal with Shiori as her rival. Rihito answers that Mei is a possible successor of the Hongo family but she never saw Shiori as her rival. Rose knowingly implies that being rivals as successors of the Hongo family is not what she meant. (Hint, hint, Rihito, you dense fool)
The men in black come for Miruku. And who made it happen? Freakin’ pasty asswipe again.
I’m going to steal your woman, onii-san.
Carrot-top is waiting for Rihito outside of the super secret room. He starts telling him how he knows what Shinobu and Mei were talking about; that all the trouble Mei has been getting is all because Lucia wants Rihito back. Mammee says Rihito should go back to Lucia so he can be Mei’s butler and threatens his brother that if he hurts her, he won’t forgive him. Dun, dun, dun. Well done, Mammee-kun.
Mei is studying hard, but just can’t get it. Good thing Rihito-san is there to help…distract her! Mmmm..sex-seh.
Miruku is pissed. She’s tired of studying and typing on the computer! She doesn’t want to hear that she’s just a tool. Take that, man in black.
Second most important scene.
Shinobu comes out of nowhere and requests some alone time with Rihito. They go outside somewhere and the sky is appropriately dramatic. Imagine that. Shinobu starts talking again and asks if Rihito really doesn’t see that Mei has feelings for him. Oh Rihito, don’t tell me you’re shocked?! Pasty tells him that Mei was present at Lucia Garden.
Yes,I brought her to the garden while Lucia was groping you. She saw the whole thing. Bwahaha!
Hiro looks so handsome with a shocked expression and even more so when he’s pissed off. As he’s slightly assaulting Shinobu, the asswipe asks if he was the one who really hurt Mei. Or was it Rihito? Are you mad as a butler or as a man because you’re the butler and you have feelings for her? Blah, blah, psychoanalysis, blah, blah, blah, you should be ashamed; you’re not fit to hold that title… blah, blah, more BS. He fondles Rihito’s face and leaves.
I actually like Shinobu in this scene. He is so straightforward and open about everything; a sadist by nature. Though his intentions are less than honorable, he manages to address the situation with Mei and Rihito and maybe make Rihito admit to himself what he really feels for her. He is appalled that Mei is witness to the groping scene in Lucia Garden and he is hurt that he causes her pain when Shinobu describes her reaction to seeing them.
Come on, Rihito-san! Get with the freakin program.
Meanwhile….
Miruku (isn’t that Japanese-English for “milk”??) is missing…but is found by Mei and Mammee in Mei’s dorm. They go to Mei’s bff’s house by way of stolen helicopter, piloted by MI-7. At the house, Miruku makes Mei’s bff’s sister a nifty lil gadget that lets her see a more-than-willing Rihito fulfilling her “needs”. Where the hell can I get one?! (Hiro looks soooo hot here. I get so flustered looking at him through those goggles. I think my boyfriend wanted to strangle me seeing my reaction.)
Milk stays for the night.
Back at Lucia Academy, the authorities are notified.
Rihito and Daimon are prohibited from interfering or looking for their mistresses until they return. The other butlers are required to watch over the two. Rihito is oh so troubled =(
They’re both on lockdown.
Izumi gives out a petition that pardons Mei from punishment, but the other girls aren’t so enthusiastic.
Funtimes.
Milk takes them to an amusement park. Mei babysits. When she asks Miruku to return to school, she says no and even if Daimon is worried, it’s for the best.
The men in black return. They rub it in that they have found MI-7 and they may/may not hurt the “kidnappers”. Hiro needs a serious hug from me.
Crying time! I know I did.
Miruku explains that once they find her, she’ll go back to the institute. She wants to separate from Daimon now because it will eventually happen anyway. Of all the people, he is the only one she trusts and is the closest thing to a family. He’s the only one that treats her like a kid. But, he can’t stay by her side forever. It’s better for him if she is gone.
Mei calls her stupid. Why would you give up now? If you want him to stay by your side, if you want him to be with you, you have to do your best and fight for what you want. (Yeah, she understands all too well, ne =D)
Daimon reminds Rihito of his promise to Mei. Ain’t nobody betah git in mah way.
It’s about time, idiot.
Rose and her secrets.
Last episode, it’s been revealed that Rose is in communication with Kitaro-san. What role she plays is yet to be revealed. In this episode and in previous ones, she has hinted of her acquaintance with both of Mei’s parents, particularly Mei’s mother. Upon hearing of Rihito’s disobedience by leaving, she comments that both mother and daughter have the influence to make men so determined.
So her mom is not a poor girl? Did she go to school at St. Lucia’s? We know she causes Mei’s dad to leave his inheritance and cut ties with the Hongo family. If Rose knows her, she can’t be poor then. Unless she knows Mei’s dad first and through him she met Mei’s mom.
Before Daimon or Rihito can leave, they run into Looney Lucia. Daimon goes ahead.
A lot of running happens.
At the amusement park, the trio is attacked by ninja’s with firepower. They’re being chased all over but are eventually cornered. Just as we think Milk is going to be taken, Daimon shows up and saves her. The men in black + ninja surround them and are about to fire…
Looney Lucia tells Rihito that he can’t save Mei. But she can. He just needs to return to her. Rihito tells her straight out, I’m Mei’s butler, biatch. Got it?
She goes back to her garden of death and smiles??
BEST SCENE SO FAR……
Hold the phone! Rihito has arrived.
We find Mei looking to the sea when Rihito sees her. He apologizes for being late (damn straight). Mei tells him that Daimon and Milk are together, over yonder. The people in black suddenly up and left (o rly? I wonder why?? I wonder who called them to begin with, right, pasty asswipe?).
Is Mei nervous again?
Her hands are shaking. Late reaction.
It's because I’m relieved, probably. Heh,heh.
*speechless*
Rihito: Oh shit! My bad, Mei-sama.
Mei: ...
Carrot-top, you just missed it!
Still not budging…It’s a good awkward, though =D
Test time.
The petition saved her but she still has the test to tackle.
Miruku has balls yo. You have to admit, Lucia can be dangerous.
Lucia tries to be fake nice. Ha! Miruku sees through it and tells her she knows she called those guys to monitor her. She also knows Lucia was the one that called them off. Whatever Lucia is up to, she’s not going to let her get away with it. Shiori –> DENIED!
More awkward moments (cute to me!)
Rihito can’t even pull off regular duties like serving tea. He’s so nervous! Hahaha! Hiro, you are adorable. They’re both so endearing in this scene. (I was freakin' giddy. I think I cackled.)
Trouble (never-ending when Shiori’s wants your butler)
I don’t know who the girl is. Have we seen her before? If we have, it has to be Tami. She has short hair. But, Tami wears shorts. The girl has a skirt. Unless…she changes when she snitches to the Evil Wonder Twins. She may be someone we may not know at all.
Anyway, she has a picture for Shiori to use. Shiori doesn’t care if she has to break Rihito in order to get him back. (No!! He’s too good-looking to hurt.)
Oh man…
Everyone’s huddled around the board. Someone caught the best scene so far on camera!
What I don’t understand is why it is such a big deal? It’s not like they’re facing each other. That “sexy” girl and her butler are embracing like this a lot and they don’t get shit for it. Whatever, let's see when they kiss [wait for it... (knock on wood)], then they can start making a fuss, hehehe.
PREVIEW
There’s dancing involved. Tami makes a blow-up version of the hug (hehehe). Rihito is at Lucia’s bedside, for another performance, I guess. What a ham. Daimon gets knocked down and starts bleeding. More awkward moments with Rihito and Mei. And of course, Mameshiba makes it known to Mei that he likes her. WTF?! Perhaps that's why dancing together is tense? Oh man, what will Rihito do? What will Mei say to Mammee??
I want next episode now! Why must I go through three exams before then =(
