Oh yeah, seems there was another episode this weekend. But it featured a pen and eraser of all things! Someone please explain to me how the writers come up with this nonsense.


Not even Octi has the answer

In the first half we have Penna and Gonma come to life, thanks to Freeza’s black spores. These two were just an ordinary pen and eraser that belonged to Miyako before being the mischievous objects that they turned out to be. Penna was the real troublesome of the duo who did not want to be labeled a “cute” monster by people, like Miyako was doing. On the other hand, Gonma was a lot more caring of those around him and didn’t mind the description. He also really wanted to win Penna’s respect/friendship. With the help of Miyako, the two learn that they needed to live and depend on one another. Afterwards the black spores disappeared and the pen and eraser turned back to normal — AMAZING, isn’t it?


Gratuitous fanservice? In my PPGZ?


Let’s see… Kuriko is cute but not Miyako cute, Peach cute, or even cuter than this girl

The second half saw the return of Souichirou, Sakurako, and Michel. A christmas rose by the name of Here/Helle (ヘレ) begins to grow jealous as she witnesses Souichirou with a bouquet of roses that he was planning to give to Sakurako. Apparently all Here wanted was the same love all the other flowers out there were receiving — she was pretty lonesome. So in response to being ignored for so long, she uses her new powers — given by Kare’s black spores — and plants her seeds all over town, including on people’s faces. Sakurako eventually saves the day by showing that love that Here was so desperately seeking — and by comparing a flower’s feelings of solitude to that of a human being. And with that the black spores vanish and Here is kept inside the shop right beside the christmas roses from earlier. Another lesson is learned :D

Final Verdict:


Sakurako looks different for some reason


Kaoru could care less for the love-love that’s going on in front of her. That and for not being a finalist for SaiGar 2007


Notice how Him and Michel both made a special appearance in this week’s episode. Flamingly awesome

What’s the best way to the end Season I? Release a Christmas theme ep of course!

Interesting Note:

- Powered Butterpimp’s henshin sequence slightly altered:

- Toei needs to watch and examine their designs and final edits a lot more carefully — Miyako’s supposed pantsu shot exposed :P, *click:

PPGZ Poll:

On December 30th, the show will be taking the weekend off. What I have planned for that date is reflect back on everything we’ve done these past 26 weeks. To have covered an entire season of a single series is an accomplishment in itself I have to say — since I haven’t really done this for any show in the 1.5 years moetron has been up and running. Also on that weekend I will post the results of the 4 online polls that you all will have the chance to participate in. The first two are available below:
