Green Green Episode 10

Green Green

"Stumbling Around in the Library"

The art is a little off in this episode, for some reason. Character designs are a little off (especially in some faces), as are general body shapes (some of the girls now have some really weird curves).

I haven't mentioned it before, but I absolutely cannot stand Midori's super-nasally voice. Yet another reason I want Yuusuke to hook up with Futaba in the end, but I'm sure my wishes will not be granted.

Alright, I refuse to review the plot of this episode without spoilers, so either be spoiled or live with it.

I was wondering how exactly Yuusuke was supposed to learn what the audience has already known for ten episodes (that in a previous life he was in love with Midori, but their love couldn't be, blah blah). As it turns out, kissing Midori was all it took! And now he remembers everything, and apparently they were really in love in their past life, because it looks like he's now crazy about Midori, despite the fact that he was making a lot more progress with Futaba, and if it wasn't so completely obvious that Midori is the one he's supposed to get in the end, you might even think that this show was about him and Futaba!

Ten episodes and a flash of light. Insulting.

I couldn't agree more. I am a huge fan of the Yuusuke-Futaba relationship, and have just seen episode 10 only minutes ago. I'll have to see the last few episodes tomorrow, but I also am saddened that what could have been a nice romance between Yuusuke and Futaba, teaching Midori that destiny is one of those big forces in the world, was instead cheapened by a kiss. And honestly, it would have been nice if he had just remembered his past and yet retained focus on the present, but he acted as though he became a whole other person, as though he was now "old Yuusuke." Very poor taste of story direction, imo. Well ... won't be too quick to judge, I guess. I still have a few more episodes, eh? It's not over till the fat lady (or 10th grade male) sings!
