Melody of Oblivion eps 16-18

[meganbmoore]

I no longer understand what is going on.  Except that Sayoko needs to reapply for a life with better people in it.  And I have seen the so-not-phallic-banana in the sea of so-not-symbolic cherries.  Or are they apples?  Also, must question Koko's taste.  Why go for Bocca when I'm sure any of her little harem would be happy to accomodate her?  (Actually, I kinda like Koko and her little harem, though I'd much prefer the non-pervy version of that group...)

I think the main point of the plot now is whether or not Bocca and Sayoko will have sex.  (Between the crate scene and the fact that he left a girl waiting for him back home, and the fact that she just seems to be replacing Kurofune with the next Meros to come along, I have to wonder what they're thinking weith that pairing.)

Whatever.  I bring pics.  Potentially NSFW.

I have no idea what I'm supposed to be getting from this...


Koko and Bocca hide in a crate:


Err...I have a couple caps of Koko sitting on Bocca's face and burying it in her butt as I was capping out of shock that whole scene, but there's no way I'm posting them.  But look, the spirit of the Melody thought it was interesting:




*a-HEM*


Bunny-fetish girl:





(Those 3 caps?  Took up less than a minute.)

Koko activating her Meros abilities:



Koko using her powers:


Which, by the way, are a clowd of hearts and sparkles that sometimes make things blow up:


Toune activating her Meros powers:

(Thankfully, the seem to have realized that was bad enough, so they allowed her to maintain her dignity in actual battle.)

Bocca activating his powers:



Bocca and Sayoko dreamily staring into each other eyes for about 5 minutes while Toune and Koko are busy fighting Evil Flying Robotic Horses a few feet away:


Sayoko proving this anime's apparent idea that women have no sense of self-worth unless they're wanted for sex:

 

Here, a few worksafe pics:

One of Koko's little harem proving that bulletproof glass is useless in anime:


Mousezilla:


Ok, apparently I did not get the killer robot sock puppets like I thought I had.  But I'm too lazy to fix the cut text.  Here, have the army Bocca defeated  in 2 seconds.


And Bocca explaining to Sayoko how having 2 futons makes her virtue completely safe with him.

ETA:  Accidentally posted it before I was through.  Now with more caps.

Of course, sometimes a glowing banana is just a glowing banana...

THERE ARE MORE CAPS NOW. I HIT POST ON ACCIDENT.

This is true. But, you know, when the glowing banana shows up while a girl is busy trying to have her wicked way with the main character in a crate of fruit...

Is this a shoujo or shounen anime? It seems somewhat surreal, in either case. (Judging from the caps, anyway!)

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Shounen. And surreal doesn't begin to cover it. Early on, there was a plot, but at this point, it seems to be mostly mindless fanservice and misogyny.

Always fun when you can play "find the Freudian symbolism" with an anime.

I didn't mind Koko's harem.

Here's the thing about the anime, there's enough symbolism to choke a horse, but they don't seem to do much with it once the activating powers in obscene ways kicks in.

Every once in a while, I think about how I'd love this anime if it were a non-pervy version of Koko and her harem. Then I realize that's just 50 or so magical girl animes.

There's a lot of good ideas in here, but nothing is ever done with them because the anime is too busy being misogynistic.
