White Album Season 2 Episode 11

 So I'm currently using Microsoft Word 2010 to post this. I think that's pretty cool, I had no idea you could write blog posts on Word, and it almost makes up for Vista, don't you think? Also, for this episode I'm going to skip doing notes and just write the blog as I watch. We'll see if this saves time. Because time is money. So welcome to more of a commentary, going along for the ride, kind of experience for you. I think it will be fun.

There's a lot going on with Ogata right now, I guess somehow the whole world has found out he's lost it. Unfortunately I haven't really cared about this storyline from the beginning. Apparently he made it up some rumor about Rina smoking, so the reporter tells me, as we see television on television. I thought this was "breaking the fourth wall" but I googled it and that's something different. Also on the news we see Menou's racy pictures.

Akira's going to be fine! Yes! This is good news indeed. He doesn't want Misaki to visit him, good for him. I'm not sure why I like him so much, maybe because he's a decent human being. He tells Touya about Ogata, for some reason Touya flips out and starts worrying about Yuki but I'm not sure why because I'm still not sure what happened. I need to stop taking such huge breaks between reviews. It's also confusing that Touya cares about Yuki at all at this point, but that's another story. Akira is getting annoyed with Touya, who doesn't really seem worried about him, throwing in a "Glad you're ok" when he leaves, but bothers with him questions about Menou.

Rina does not believe Ogata is in the wrong, but does not view it as her problem, and instead suggests to Meou's mother ( I still don't remember her name), deal with Menou instead. They discuss the various scandals. The one I think I'm starting to get caught up on is Meron's songs are dubbed by that one girl she is always with. Rina wants to take her place in the Venus Festival, which I s awesome since she gave this up for Yuki, and now they would both get to do it.

Menou apparently knew Touya as a child. One thing this show does right is that it doesn't make us listen to the characters sing full songs every two seconds, this is probably the most we've heard some of the characters sing so far, and even then we are still seeing flashes of the characters and not just some performance.

Ogata kisses Yuki. This is messed up, but I'm so used to these kind of thigns from this show I have little reaction except "ew", because how much older is he then her? Well, at least it's better then Touya kissing someone, who actually didn't this episode. She doesn't even pull away right away, but does eventually, crying. She goes to Touya's. We flash quickly to Rina drinking something and ends up coughing violently.
The episode ends there, with Menou walking outside to see the two embracing, with the backdrop of Ogata calling the police.

I've liked this series, but I'm ready to move on. I feel like it lost something I used to like about it, and got too convoluted along the way.
