 I have such a love/hate thing going with this anime series. Sometimes I can watch an episode and laugh and get psyched to watch more, and other times I wonder why I'm bothering with this series when there's so much more better stuff to see! Well, I made it through Volume 2 - I think there were enough shining moments to carry me on to Volume 3, but I may take a breather first. These episodes are mostly like before, really fast-paced with lots of Japanese slang (which is kind of fun). Some new rivals are introduced - the Bukero girls (which is short for Ikebukero, a part of Tokyo that I really enjoyed when I visited a few years ago!). They are constantly showing up in Shibuya and pissing off Ran, and even try to take over her turf while the main characters are at the beach! There's a couple episodes about Miyu's gang leader past (which is kind of weird, since she's the silly cute character), and then a refreshing change of pace where we follow Ran's little sister and boyfriend as they pretend to be detectives. For some reason, Ran's sister always says "datchu" at the end of every sentence - I guess it's just some cutesy thing (and they don't translate it in the subtitles). The best part of this volume is Machida Black, a new crazy dude who is a master of Para Para dancing, and he uses all kinds of bizarro English mixed-in with his Japanese. OK, I may rent the next DVD just to see more of him!
