Kannagi 03

Episode 03 - (8/10 - Great)

Impression:

Yay! Lots of new charcters. I was waiting for the introduction of the whole cast; I knew it couldn't be carried on just Nagi (and Kannagi) and Jin. We get to meet Jin's classmates, all of whom are quirky and unique. And, we meet Nagi's younger sister at the end of the episode. What I'm afraid of, though, is the misrepresentation of Chatholism and Christianity. There's been a rash of "nun" characters in anime in the past few years. It's not an interest in Christianity that draws the Japanese to nuns - it's the nun costume; Japan has a huge clothing fetish - like America's bunny suits and such. This episode was very fun - especially with the art club members.

Suggestive Content:

As I mentioned above, with the entrance of Zange, comes the misrepresentation of Christianity. Since Nagi and Zange are sisters, it suggest an goddess and God to be an equal plains. There's a scene in which Nagi is dressing. Tsugumi is concerned that Nagi and Jin are living together even though they are half-siblings (she thinks) - implying that incest could occur. Also in that scene, Nagi jumps on Tsugumi to hug her while she's still undressed. One of the art club presidents has a nose bleed. Gal games are briefly mentioned.

Kannagi 02

Episode 02 - (8/10 - Great!)

Impression:

This is truly a fun show. It doesn't take much intelligence to enjoy it, but that's fine. The Dragon Ball reference was funny. I hope to see that group of kids again. Finding out whether Nagi really has a split personality or not... I love things like this. (The best split personalities were Lain, Lein, and Rein.) I can't get past how beautiful the animation and coloring is! As I've said, I'm a fool for animation. The pacing and events of this episode were more interesting than the first. You have to have make allowances for first episodes, though. I'm a cat lover, so the cat subplot touched my heart!

Suggestive Content:

Jin, while yelling at Nagi for leaving her panties lying around, flashes them in front of Tsugumi. When Jin is carrying Nagi at the end of the episode, her skirt is up pretty high. Also, Nagi talks about her breast not being able to give the kittens milk. Of course, there is more talk of impurities and Nagi being a goddess.
