Ai Yori Aoshi Episode 08

"Cherished Treasure"

I'm hoping that the stupid ferret is actually intended as some sort of metaphor for the relationship between the various characters in the show. Yeah, right. No, it's just a stupid ferret.

Does the vessel of making Miyabi a more likable character have to be the ferret, of all things? This is probably one of the most serious episodes of the show so far, too! And it's about a ferret! Do you see the problem here?

Okay, if I bought into the ferret idea, thought it was a cool new character on the show, I would comment about how this was a heartwarming episode, where the cold Miyabi becomes more accessible after having her heart softened by Uzume, the newest member of the household. It teachers her that possessions aren't as important as feelings. Perhaps this will make her lighten up towards Kaoru. That's what I'd be telling you...

IF THIS EPISODE WASN'T ABOUT A STUPID FERRET.
