Spoilers for Maou episode 6 and Other Rants

Maou episode 6

Shiori is in love with Naruse!!! That little girl who still looks too young to be with either Naruse or Naoto! Of course we know that she’ll fall, they’ll all fall into a triangle, but how it suddenly happen, I never saw it happen on the previous episodes. But now, tell me you didn’t feel it, that scene where Naruse stopped himself from going after Shiori, tell me you didn’t feel it and I’ll slap you in the face! Riida’s acting is so priceless (it makes you scream "wish it was me, love me instead Ohno, love me instead! wahahaha!"). It’s showing although, it’s sudden but the love triangle is going to be the next conflict among the characters. They focused more on the revenge, but now, probably to attract more viewers, it’s going to be about love. I think.

RANT: Naruse, you’re nuts! Last episode you were becoming more humane, acquiring guilt and now, you become the baddest person on Mother Earth! How could you? "I do not deserve to be loved." Ack! We love you Ohno, we love you! (Ok, that’s the fangirl in me speaking). I don’t know if any of you realize Riida’s getting more effective as a Maou. His smirks, his eyes, the way he speaks, his manipulations, twisting the dialogue, although he still looks like he just woke up on some situations, but he’s getting good at acting bad, acting like a DoS. What?

That lovely crying/confession scene between the sister and Ohno’s character will happen next week! But why do I seem to see too many tears in Ohno’s face. I hope Yuuka could pull it off, the sister’s amazing acting and line delivery. Because I just love that scene!

truth/Kaze no Mukou e PV

I’m totally changed. I told you, few days, few more watch and I can flail. It just all happen late with me (late bloomer?), Anyway, you know the exciting thing about watching Arashi PVs is that it’s not easy to get tired on them even after how many times you saw them. Because when you got tired noticing how Riida dance, you can move to flail on Sho’s cuteness, Aiba’s not-so-baka look, Jun’s enthusiasm in dancing, and Nino’s hands! You can watch it five times in one sitting just to watch carefully each members, how they shines! Or how they look dark in truth. Ack! And then watch it one more time to see how they all compliment as a whole group for every song they do. That’s why I never get tired of watching any of their PVs. Even though I could cringe sometimes at the cheesyness.

Nakai is wicked. Now that it’s all out that they just make up all the fights, nothing’s serious, they don’t hate their senpais or kouhais, we don’t need to expect, but really, can you see Riida’s doing good with the punchlines? He’s no doubt the best Nakai-fighter in Arashi. Especially in this episode! Second would be Jun, then Nino, then Sho and finally Aiba. But I still like Ohno touching Nakai (slapping, head-hitting, etc, anything that hurts Nakai), it looks more effective that way! And it’s not like Nakai’s not asking for it, that DoM!

I’m still not erasing Sho’s backflip on my PSP, still watching them all the time even though people around me thinks I such an otaku, laughing to myself.

NinoxAiba childminder, how can you not flail on that cute baby? I’m eager to watch again the Shotoshi childminder just because I miss the little girl there. Is there any childminder episodes subbed yet?

So there, what else do I need to say? Ah, look what I found:

i know the lovey dovey will come, coz it was in mawang… but what really catch my attention is the line “i do not deserve to be loved”… i used to write the line in every mawang forum i went, i always wrote something like |the devil’s love really make me sad, you can see in his eyes and expressions; they’re like saying “i’m bad, i don’t deserve to be loved…”. he didn’t say it but we can see it.|

after few hours of airing, a friend of mine text me saying “maou scriptwriter steals your phrase!”… and the next few days, some more mawang fans wrote me about it… haha… they just made me laugh over it… like the scriptwriter was reading my thought… what a deja vu experience…

before the start of Maou I used exchange comments on another blog that the fact who will play Shiori wasn’t announced/emphasized largely unlike Ohno and Toma is because they will focus on Naruse’s revenge instead of the love angle. But Shin MinA’s character, I believe is a big role that shouldn’t be easily ignored. Well, I still root for MinA (would you follow Ryoko’s showbiz career after this? idk).. ok that’s going-nowhere-rant.

aww, maybe you got some telephatic power that sends your English thoughts to the Japanese writers. Or they just read so much of your line on the forums ;) well then, i’m proud of your powers.

I saw it! Hahaha, even in the previous episodes, she’s too concerned about Naruse.. and Naoto looks jealous!
*But I notices, when the “Ohno scandal” erupted, the ratings of maou increased (as opposed to what we predicted!)

no, no, i don’t like her for Ryo! hahaha! even Ryo seems to ignore her until that last episode.

yes, it increased a little and I thought it will stay that way until I saw the Olympics compete with Maou. hayyy…

yup, min-ah a big star herself… i like the combination of her and ji-hoon in mawang… especially on ep.18… ;)

btw, olympics got 37% rating that day… so, to manage grabbing over 7% is not bad at all…

I loved Naruse’s expression on the first part when he stepped into the hall and stopped when he saw Shiori waiting by the door and when she told him she was worried~ for a second I thought he’s give in and when he said “I’m busy”, my sister and I both went “Ouch!”

i wonder what’ll happen next week, seems like Naruse is going to tell his sister that he isn’t really Ryo at all… makes me want to fast forward the time just so I could watch Ep7

i saw JJH and SMA Mawang fanvids on Youtube, and yes, I’m moved, they look good together, but I can’t feel the same with Naruse and Shiori. ah, maybe my biasness again. yes, everyone’s focused on the Olympics, but I’m all set for Maou, the first thing I did when I got back home is to look for streams, too bad it’s greatly affected by the ratings. but yeah, not bad, I guess Maou got a great following after all, all over the world

wyrdbunny, I wanted him to go after her too, but he’s MAOU, he must stop, that’s the story, and it’s heart-breaking…

yes, his secret will be revealed to “her sister”. too much crying from Ohno… can we take it? Ack, Ohno, ackkk!

i cried a lot on that sister-brother part in mawang… damn you director for making my ji-hoon cried! :( i think i gonna again on that part in maou… especially with ohno tears… :(

ji-hoon was so lovely in his crying scene! he proved his his subtle acting in Princess Hours isn’t all he’s got! and the sister too, she doesn’t blink, her delivery of her lines are beautiful, though I couldn’t understand it at first until I read the comments on YT.

I’m really looking forward to that episode in Maou, although it feels now like Maou’s about to end because he’s confessing now.

hi there ice! are you now toggling watching maou and mawang? kkekeke. the suspense is egging you, isn’t it?

ahh… Mawang, not yet! i got enough spoilers from the net already that watching Mawang would really lose me on Maou. But after Maou, I will! yes, and tonight I wish I could catch Maou if my Internet connection at home is ok.
