 Let's see what compromising positions Shirase & Misao can get into this time...
3 - Endangered BPS! Remarkable Girl Programmer in an Elementary Schooler?!
Japan's military network is under attack, so BPS is called in to help
out. He's not having as much luck as usual, though, so when the attack
starts to affect the US he's forced to hand over to their operator.
She's not all she appears to be - Yuriko, an elementary-school girl who
may just be able to out-hack him. For reasons unknown, Yuriko soon
transfers to a Japanese school, where she soon becomes friends with
Misao. So what is Yuriko up to - apart from being more lolicon bait for
BPS?
4 - Retiring BPS? The Counterpart at the "All is Vanity" Marriage Interview is Sae-sensei...
Sae-sensei (Masao's teacher) has a marriage interview coming up. Darn
these old Japanese women and their insistence on tradition, hey?
Meanwhile, Shirase's family are thinking it's time for him to settle
down as well, and have also arranged a marriage interview. You can work
out the rest from there... Meanwhile, King of America also seems to be
getting in on the marriage business, with his first target being the
hotel Shirase's having his interview at...
Yuriko takes the lolicon aspect of the show to a whole new level.
Sadly she's only around BPS for one episode... These 2 (or 6, depending
how you want to count it) episodes follow pretty much the same formula
as the first two - which is no bad thing. The humour in the show is
good stuff & really what makes it, as the hacking side of the show
strays far too much into the unbelievable. Yuriko is a good addition,
particularly in the way she seems to have Shirase pretty much figured
out & uses her knowledge to mess with him - just a shame she didn't
hang around & has gone back to the US (while you still see her in
the show, not having her able to directly tease Shirase anymore is a
bit of a let-down).
Overall, still pretty good - nothing ground-breaking, but worth
watching. I believe a 2nd season is on its way in Japan, so they must
be doing something right... |
