Another batch of 2x2=Shinobuden with Onsokumaru & co up to the usual tricks - which is part of the problem, really...
6a - Typhoon Ahead!
The Sasuke are stuck inside because of a typhoon alert, and they're
suffering from a bad case of cabin fever. Onsokumaru manages to escape
to Kaede's house, so Shinobu heads over to save her friend from his
antics - by the time she gets there, Kaede's already thrown him out,
but the approaching typhoon leave the two girls stuck together for the
duration - which suits Shinobu just fine...
6b - Ninja Harvests a Mushroom
Spring, and it's mushroom-gathering season. Onsokumaru thinks its time
Shinobu was taught how to tell the difference between mushrooms that
are safe to eat and mushrooms that aren't - but she's already gone
mushroom-gathering with Kaede and Miyabi. Meanwhile, the Sasuke have
been helping themselves to too many mushrooms of the 'magic' kind - and
it's down to Ninja Academy Class Leader Izumi to save the day. Seems
Izumi and Onsokumaru have a 'history', too...
7a - Onsokumaru is Stuck
Look for the MariMite
'cameo' in this episode. :) For some reason Onsokumaru is stuck to
Miyabi - seems she tripped & landed on the yellow blob, and he's
been stuck to her chest ever since (a convenient recap sequence told me
this). Cue a search for a way to detach him - although Onsokumaru seems
to be enjoying the experience...
7b - Shinobu, Playball!
Seems Shinobu has a killer baseball pitch - which gives Izumi just the
chance she was looking for to humiliate Onsokumaru. And so the girls
-vs- boys baseball game begins - and you just know Onsokumaru can't be
trusted to play fair...
This'll be short, as Shinobuden keeps strictly to the comedy
for these eps. If you've seen the earlier episodes, you'll know what to
expect here. Problem is, apart from a few 'comedy classic' moments,
it's starting to feel a bit samey. I'm hoping the next few episodes
throw something a bit different into the mix, or I could lose interest
before the end of the series... |
