The group dynamic of the whites lead me to believe that they had been together at least as long or longer than the reds and blues, which makes me disinclined to believe that four of them were assembled as a counter to the red/blue alliance.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Then that just suggests that there must be a bias toward the white team, if they were assembled at the same time, or before, and thus the joining of the red and blue teams wouldn't have been anticipated in any plans.

[Lioconvoy]

Well in the Manga atleast there's nothing to say that there are only two blues or red, just that we've only been introduced to two at a time.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Well, the second member of the red team is different in the manga, anyway.

[Lioconvoy]

Eh? Whatcha talking about? We have two reds right now.

[Queen Octavia]

Side note: The president is my favorite character in the series so far.

Also, the plushies are among the best comic relief characters I've seen. The gag characters normally get on my nerves, but I daresay... I actually like those plushies.

I just watched episode 9 and did a careful analysis.

A) lenght of the episode.
The episode is made of :
- 8 minutes 30 seconds of bouncing flesh in swimsuit.
- 3 minutes 10 seconds of fight with bouncing flesh in swimsuit
That's a total of 11 minutes 40 seconds of bouncing flesh on a 16 minutes 18 seconds episodes. (I'm not counting the intro or outro)

B) breast related events.
The 11 something minutes include, 4 (four) full-screen breast bounces and 15 (fifteen) breasts squished or rubbed against another person.
Actually, one needs only to count the numerous "boing" sound effects to convince oneself that those effects probably required the sound team to hire a spring musician .

Conclusion
Taking into account point A and B, I hereby conclude, that discussing the scenario like we have been trying to do so far is a moot point.
Unless of course if breasts have a significant symbolic meaning to the scenario.


Soooooo... which swimsuit did you prefer ? Which one would you rather see Nikkou wearing ?

[Queen Octavia]

I like to talk about the moderators etc etc as much as possible in order to advance the idea that I am watching something which isn't pure fan service smut.

[Kether]

you aren't watching Queen's blade therefore you aren't watching soft core porn

[Rodney]

I don't blame you UberLurker, I'm trying not to think that myself.
Maybe there is deep meaning in the episode, for example, at some point Natsuru thinks : "Humans are such lonely creatures".

Anyway, episode 9 was in my opinion a blatant fan service Beach Episode.
I'm sure there will be more scenario in the next one, I also hope it will keep me interested.

Edit : Who am I to sound like a snob critic ? I know I will be kept interested, for all its flaws, I can't help but laugh at plenty of the jokes.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Eh? Whatcha talking about? We have two reds right now.

What are you talking about? Honestly, popebot. As opposed to the anime, where Natsuru's childhood friend becomes the second member of the red team, the second member in the manga was acting independently and Shizuku helped to take her out. That's what I'm talking about. It had nothing to do with numbers: I was just commenting on how they were different. ;/

And I'd like to wear a flesh-colored swimsuit, if you know what I mean. *Waggles eyebrows*

Also: I dislike fan-service and the harem genre, but I care about what I like a lot more, which is TG, and there's so little of it that I can't exactly be too picky. =_=

[Lioconvoy]

I read the statement wrong the first time... ^^;

[Kether]

Episode 10 may have actual Plot. Stay tuned

[Lioconvoy]

I probably won't get to see it till Saturday, it be nice if there is a plot.
