The household enjoyable over the previous few weeks has been nice and all, however I am glad that Mission: Yozakura Household provides us one other actual Spy Mission; plus, it is all about Taiyo lastly discovering the key of his household’s homicide. Episodes like this, which put as a lot emphasis on humor as they do on sowing the seeds of the present’s total story, are my favourite type to get M:JVand “Tanpopo” doesn’t disappoint. Effectively, for probably the most half.
Earlier than we get into any of these quibbles, although, we’ve got to speak about the very best a part of the episode, which is the phase the place Taiyo infiltrates the Library of the Lifeless to uncover the key paperwork that reveal the lethal hyperlink that connects each his and Mutsumi’s households to the mysterious “Tanpopo” group. Certain, the plot developments and such are nice, however have you ever all seen the creepy homicide librarian, Me-chan? She stabs individuals within the face for making an excessive amount of noise in her library, which is to say every noise, and she or he is unbelievable! Admittedly, I’m married to a tricky, creepy librarian, so I could also be a bit of biased in Me-chan’s favor.
Admittedly, I left that ominous “for probably the most half” tag within the intro paragraph, and I do have one minor gripe with how this all performs out. Whereas I am not essentially against the concept that Taiyo’s household has simply develop into embroiled in a bigger conspiracy that Actual every thing about harvesting the particular super-powerful blood chemical compounds from the Yozakura household, how all of this data is communicated makes the story really feel a bit anticlimactic, a minimum of up to now. This must be a game-changing revelation in regards to the second that modified Taiyo’s life eternally, but it surely seems like you may take away the homicide of his household solely, and the stakes of the story would stay roughly unchanged. I don’t know; I hoped for extra, however we’ll see the place it goes sooner or later.
Furthermore, the infiltration of the hospital provides us each a brand new thriller for Taiyo to unravel And the prospect for Taiyo and Mutsumi to staff up for a mission and costume up as an aged couple. It’s simply too cute, particularly when Taiyo drops that line about not figuring out if he might dwell with out Mutsumi. God bless these cute youngsters for his or her candy love for one another, and God bless the creepy homicide librarians.
