Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 Episode 8 Summary (Part 3)-At the event, Ms. Lohmeyer is explaining the conditions for joining the special zone. Sentence reductions for everybody! Except for Zero, he get's banished instead. Milly and Rivalz comment on it, saying that it's Zero who gets to run away. But Zero isn't quite done yet as he takes over the broadcast from his Britannian friends.
-Nunnally is pleased, but Guilford is ready for some killing, since Ms. Lohmeyer authorized it. Suzaku appears, ready to "escort" Zero out, but he doesn't want to be in the good DJ's "debt". Instead, he has a question. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? Failing that, he asks what is Japanese. Basically, it's all about heart, which Zero agrees with.
-After a rousing speech, the crowd activates a smokescreen, covering up all ONE MILLION PEOPLE, but Lohmeyer is just waiting for the crazy insane plan. Guilford orders the attack, but Suzaku overrides, since they haven't done anything yet.
-As the smoke clears, Zero appears... and appears... and appears. Man, there are a lot of Zeroes there. Yup, this was the insane crazy plan. As Zero has been ordered into exile, all one million Zeroes will leave the country, with Japan in their hearts. Clever move, Zero.
-With some help from the Chinese Federation requests for the Iceberg ship, which is a ship that keeps an iceberg in tact, the ONE MILLION PEOPLE prepare to leave. It's obvious the Britannians want to start the killing, but that would look really bad, since they've made no violent move.
-Villetta jumps down and starts ordering the masks off, but Tamaki!Zero pulls out his own gun, but Ohgi!Zero stops him, saying no violence. You blew your cover, man.
-Nunnally is trying to get more information, but as she's a puppet ruler, she's told nothing. At the event, Lohmeyer tells Suzaku that there is killing to be done, as is Guilford, because they can't let a million people go. Suzaku pleads with Zero to have them remove their masks, but he won't.
-Lohmeyer decides that enough is enough and is ready to start another massacre, but Suzaku stops her, stating, with perfect reason, that if they did that again, they won't be trusted and civil unrest would continue. Lohmeyer states otherwise, that these people need to be made examples of, but the good DJ won't let that happen and starts questioning Lohmeyer's real motives.
-Suzaku turns to Zero and asks if he will lead these people to salvation, but Zero counters. Only if the good DJ will lead those that stay behind to salvation. With the agreement made, Zero turns off the big screen. On the iceberg ship, the real Zero appears, calling for his duplicates to follow him to salvation. As he announces this, he takes off his mask to show his real identity to Sayoko, who is shocked at first before smiling. I always knew she'd support Lelouch in a heartbeat.
-As the Horde of Zeroes makes their way to the iceberg ship, Ohgi!Zero gives his goodbyes. We see that Hakuman gets an update on the situation as he eagerly awaits Zero's arrival on his home turf, while Guilford is pissed that he didn't get to do any killing. Lloyd comments on Suzaku's ability to save ONE MILLION PEOPLE, but won't get thanked for it since most Britannians are jerks.
-Suzaku, however, suspected that Zero knew him well, since he would never give such an order, commenting on the BK leader being his greatest enemy. Zero himself comments that he had already seen the ending, which isn't going to lead to a harem ending, but telepathically reminds Suzaku to keep his promise. Our last shot is of the two candles with Euphie's name on it, colliding. Cue credits!
Hey, an episode that didn't end with the violent death of anybody! And it appears that Zero is moving on to bigger and better things. How will he adapt to this new world? Probably rebell against it.
On Monday we get to see the season one OVA for Is This a Zombie, which I imagine will be them pushing the limits in taste and decency. Next week, we get to see how Lelouch and company deal with their new situation in Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2.
Until next time, remember, when building a bomb, you should always make sure it goes off without a hitch.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 Episode 8 Summary (Part 2)-After a bit of an awkward pause, Villetta shows up, apologizing for the delay before asking Zero what she needs to do. It's a good thing Lelouch is already married, because who knows what he would do to you. After a slight reprimand over the name, Lelouch asks his gym teacher if she misses Ohgi. Oh, the moment of truth. I wonder what she'll say. She says...
-Meanwhile, at Dallas, we apparently get to check in on Ninja, who's decided to let her hair grow and turn it into a ponytail of sorts. Suddenly, Schneizel appears with some guy in pink hair, so Nina shows some respect and asks how the EU trip went. Lots of fires, apparently.
-Schneizel starts to give a speech about moving too fast for victory because it'll crush hope, as everybody in the world is looking for that hope. That's when we check in on Anya, who's typing away on her phone. Kids this days. Arthur, the NInja Cat, disappointed by his lack of screen time, takes of Anya's to get pet. The cat loves the ladies.
-Suzaku appears in his Japanese clothes because he's "training". Anya presses on the matter, but before Suzaku can talk about it, one of the assistants shows up, looking for the good DJ's signature, as there's some killing to be done. Specifically, the guy who tried to knife Suzaku. I wonder what will come of that.
-Back in Dallas, which seems way too colorful for that region of the world, Nina is giving Schneizel a report on her experiments. Schneizel doesn't look too happy, as we get a flashback to the Black Rebellion. So, that bomb Nina built? Well, let's just say it pulled an Andy on her. Wow, I've done this for two years and that's probably the first time I got an RvB reference in there.
-Nina says it was a failure, but Schneizel goes on how Euphie will be remembered as a tragic figure. Yeah, a tragic figure that didn't get killed fast enough before getting off on her killing spree. Still, Schneizel is hopeful that the faith of all those that Euphie touched will turn it around for her. He then wonders if he poisoned anybody today before going back to the report.
-Back in Japan, Suzaku is still hesitating, but Anya decides to stop wasting time and orders the poor man's death. After the assistant leaves, Anya asks if the good DJ is an M, since the good DJ is here in a place that judges him and tries to murder him every other day. But that doesn't put him down, because somebody believed in him. His name was Kamina, who asked him to... wait, wrong show.
-Suzaku comments in the end that he himself is a sinner. Something about multiple counts of adultery and coveting his neighbors wife. Gino soon shows up to ruin the mood, saying that Zero is calling. Stupid telemarketers... oh, wait, that Zero.
-In what appears to be a bar, we see Suzaku, Lloyd and Cecile sitting in front of a TV, with Cecile wondering if she should be there. Ms. Superstar berates Cecile choice of dress, but if you ask me, she looks good in it. Also, she's probably doing it to distract Zero during the call. Like that will work on him. Working on the rest of us, though.
-Soon enough, Zero pops up on the TV. Before they can get underway, Lloyd, in his typical, tactful self, if it's the same Zero as before. He sidesteps the question, saying that Zero is just an idea. Somebody has been reading Alan Moore's stuff. They soon ask if the Black Knights are backing him, but apparently it's more than that. Zero has the support of... ONE MILLION PEOPLE! Dramatic zoom.
-However, Zero has terms. He'll give the million to the special zone, but only if they let him go. Since they would need to explain this to the people, he recommends exile. There's some objections about it, but they suspect that the Black Knights would be against this, as it's Zero saving his own skin. Zero counters with the reason that these talks are secret for a reason.
-Ms. Superstar, who goes by the name of Ms. Lohmeyer, gives the article that says exile is okay in the laws of Britannia. Suzaku comments on this, but she's just stating the facts. Gino is behind it, since that means the central figure head for the terrorist will be gone, meaning that they'll all collapse on themselves. The good DJ, however, is still not pleased. He wants justice, dammit!
-After the eye catch, it's off to the Fuji Mausoleum as Suzaku is giving the news to Nunnally. She agrees with it, since it means major crimes will go down, but it's time for the important part. Lighting a candle for Euphie. To Suzaku's surprise, another one was lit for her, which brings a smile to his and Nunnally's face. Who else would be mourning for her?
-We cut to Lelouch approaching LB, saying that all matters have been attended with, and now, there's nothing holding him there. Except for the ball and chain, but C2 is coming with him.
-Sometime later, at the Shizuoka Ghetto, a newscast is talking about the large presence of Eleven's as the opening of the Special Zone draws near. The reason? Because Zero asked very nicely. Gino is getting his Vic Viper ready, hoping that a riot will break as soon as the news is announced, but we get a scan of the crowd as we see members of the Black Knights there, with Villetta patrolling the area, looking for Ohgi.
-On a plan going over the even, Hakuman is being sent home, since he was only an acting consult, and since a new one has been chosen, he's off to do something else. Still, with his request to Britannia, the stage is already set. Oh, and he's coughing blood. It's probably lupus.
-Back on the ground, Nunnally announces the opening of the special zone. Yay! At a nearby hanger, Guilford is gearing up on the off chance that Zero does something crazy insane, which is his typical MO. Little does he know that Zero is looking to do something insane crazy today.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 Episode 8 SummaryIt's Friday, so you know what that means... No, it's not Mexican Tequila Night, it's Code Geass night! Though I admit the tequila sounds good right about now.
Last week, Lelouch had a crisis of faith since he created Zero to fight for Nunnally, but as she's being taken care of right now, Zero doesn't have a point. Thanks to Kallen, Rolo and the Student Council, he's decided to evolve the Zero Persona. What does he fight for now? Apparently for Nunnally, because he's agreed to her offer.
Well, that was a bit anti-climatic. Oh, and something about Lelouch trying to start his own gym. It didn't work out so well. So, how is Zero going to work this out? Why don't we find out?
-Our Prologue is about what a man is suppose to do. Eat meat, get a harem, hunt for game, take over kingdoms and slay the evil dragon. Not in that order. Oh, and never lie or break a vow. Lelouch has a long way to go, it seems. Basically, it's about Lelouch's promise to Nunnally and his promise. I wonder if this will be important later?
-Tonight's episode is titled One Million Miracles. I'd prefer Six Hundred Million Miracles, personally. That's the Powerball jackpot for 05/18/2013. Don't judge me, dammit! Oh, and no drinking game. The last one didn't go so well as Coltsguy is still in that alcohol induced coma. I'm not taking any of the blame for that.
-We start the episode almost immediately after the last one ended. Speedy Von Mech, piloted by Knife McNutty, reminds Zero of his promise, which he will keep. He then faces off against the Power Trio of Lancelot, Mordred and the Vic Viper. Suzaku doesn't like this one bit, but a reminder from Gino forces them to pull back as the Black Knights go back swimming.
-Back in the Underground Lair of Evil, Villetta is watching the action, but when asked to pursue Speedy Von Mech, they're ordered to not do that. Of course, her major concern is getting caught if LB gets caught. Good to see you have your priorities straight, traitor!
-Meanwhile, under the sea, a mechanical dolphin goes about killing any singing, dancing aquatic life. They must not be allowed to reproduce. Inside the mechanical dolphin, the Black Knight Senior Staff is having a meeting about what was just announced and what needs to be done about it. Before they can plot any further, Zero walks in, ruining the mood. Bosses tend to do that often.
-Kallen starts to speak, but Kaguya, being her semi-hyper self, rushes in for a hug, berating Zero slightly for keeping his new wife waiting. I guess that's why she went with a shorter skirt. The men can't resist the legs. Still, Zero being Zero, he's totally calm about it, but Kaguya compliments him on his plan with the Special Zone, but asks what it's all about.
-Zero starts a speech about the errors of war, making me think if I accidentally put in a Gundam disc, but then I remembered I'm watching a Sunrise production and this is their thing. The others start to argue with Todoh stating that they can't make friends with their enemies, but clearly he's never been to the school of "how to turn your enemies into your friends", or more commonly known as the Nanoha course. Only it involves more explosions.
-Before Todoh could finish, Zero asks him what is Japanese. Obviously a race of people that seem to have this issue with getting decimated by outside forces or giant rubber space monsters. As this is said, we get shots of the Japanese talking about the Special Zone, with some reluctant feelings to the matter, even if Zero is behind it. As we get a newscast about how no Eleven has signed up for it, we get our fanservice shot of the episode by slowing panning up Villetta's swimsuit clad body, followed by a shot of a school girl coming out of the pool and fixing her bottom. Thank god I'm not doing that drinking game again.
-We move over to the Government Building as Nunnally is reviewing her manifest while getting instructed and berated by that lady who went with her. You know, this lady reminds me a lot of that teacher from Revolutionary Girl Utena. Next she'll question why a girl in pink hair is dressed in a boys uniform.
-Back at Ashford Academy, DJ Suzaku is taking a break from his school duties to assist with the Special Zone and not do any DJ gigs. They'll obviously buy that. They make small talk about the garden until Shirley pops up with Kallen's name, with Rivalz suggesting that he can get her a plea bargain. Bunny girl for life!
-Actually, Lelouch decides to pipe in, suggesting that while duty is important, so are family and friends, so he suggests that the good DJ take it up with the Viceroy before "accidentally" letting it slip that he spoke with her on the night of the welcome party. And then they laugh... except for LB.
-Suzaku soon monlogues, wondering if Lelouch regained his memories or not. He's still somewhat upset about having his girlfriend killed and wonders why Lelouch couldn't find another way. That's when some soldier runs at him with a knife to kill the traitor. However, this scene is there to remind us that Suzaku has a command on him to live, so he easily takes out the would be assassin. Oh, and just in case you didn't figure it out last season, Suzaku is a death seeker. Do they not have psychologist in this universe?
-Meanwhile, at the Chinese Federation... which looks a lot like that place that got trashed earlier in the season by Suzaku, Diethard is speaking with Zero about the plan. Brownnose here is overjoyed with his compliments, but has some concerns about the next stage of the plan. Lelouch, in front of his chess board, doesn't seem so concerned. Oh, foreshadowing.
-After the call, LB not so subtly reminds Lelouch of his promise, which is to protect the school because if they're discovered, Britannia will nuke it. Which is their answer to plague, pollen and bad baseball calls.

Is This a Zombie? Episode 12 Summary (Part 4)-So the song continues while Seraphim and Saravasti try to pander to the audience. Girls, wrong type of song to do that. Blimp shot, which means another drink, while Ayumu comments on the scene, as, to him, it's a once in a lifetime event that shouldn't be missed.
-Of course, Ayumu is talking about Seraphim bouncing around on stage. He puts on a creepy smile to show his imagination, which is a drink, but the Headmaster berates him, telling him to be careful for what he wishes. So not all of his powers have left, but apparently Mystletainn decides to grand Ayumu his wish.
-You probably don't need to guess, but just to add to it, our first shot after the blindingly light is the Headmaster in a very skimpy bikini. And I mean barely hiding anything skimpy. That's one drink. Our next shot is of Haruna and Eu in similar skimpy bikinis, which makes two drinks. Then we get Seraphim and Saravasti, and that's two drinks for each girl. Back to Eu, and she seems to find it stimulating. Uh, I'll go with it. One drink here.
-Quick pan of the crowd, but as it goes by really fast, we'll count that as one drink. We then focus on Mael, Taeko and Kanami, one drink each, who also get's their picture taken by some guy bringing the camera. I ask why he'd bring a camera to a pool, but this is Japan we're talking about.
-Ayumu certainly enjoys the sites, but quickly realizes the world of trouble he's in. The pain is courtesy of Seraphim, whose less than pleased to find herself in this situation, so she proceeds to crush Ayumu like the maggot that he is. She's probably dreamed of this for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if he had this same dream, too.
-Back on the diving boards, Haruna is laughing because she had a good time and probably doesn't get the whole situation, but whatever. Eu takes hold of Haruna's hands and mouths her thanks to the genius magical garment girl, who only accepts the praise happily because she loves getting praised.
-We take one final look of the indoor pool before fading to black, but it's right back to the school as Ayumu is sleeping in class, but it looks like they are in their fall uniforms. He's surprise to still be alive, but hey, he's a zombie. No drinks on that one.
-We get some panned shots of the town, as well as Mael playing with some kittens, Haruna stopping Seraphim from cooking something that's so bad, it had to be censored, and Eu drinking her drink, so there are some green flashes there. Oh, and we get a shot of Saravasti doing some training in the forest. All this while Ayumu monologues about the secret world that should remain secret, but these people aren't trying too hard, it seems.
-One thing to do is, while Ayumu is walking down the stairs, an older gentleman passes him, but in a quick scene, the guy turns into a gothic lolita girl with pink hair. I'm sure that isn't important at all.
-Ayumu soon returns home and OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING!? Did Seraphim kill a Langolier and is feeding it to everybody else? And wow, did I have to dig deep for that reference. The girls greet him, but despite all of what's happened, it could always get worse. You do know there's an OVA still left, right? Oh, and a second season. Cue credits!
Well, that was... something. Seriously, that was about 98.6% insanity mixed with massive amounts of fanservice. If you're still coherent after taking so many drinks, you must have a pretty high tolerance like me... or you're cheating and using a soft drink, like me.
Next week we're going to give this first season it's proper finish by taking a look at the OVA. I can only imagine it's crazier than this episode. After that, we aren't going to waste any time as we jump right into the second season. Hilarity will ensue, I imagine.
This Friday is another episode of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2, as we see what Zero has in store with his promises of helping Nunnally. Knowing Lelouch, he probably has something major in mind.
Until next time, remember, never invent a drinking game for yourself. You'll find yourself so drunk that you'll wake up the next day sleeping next to a horses head. And the less said about that, the better.

Is This a Zombie? Episode 12 Summary (Part 3)-Seraphim sees the big board and Sarasvati taking a commanding lead, so she does the only thing available to her. She herself strips into... what appears to be a really short Chinese Dress. It's also very yellow. Or is it green? It's hard to tell with the lightning.
-Orito is really involved now, while Ayumu happy he stuck around, since this battle has shown some of it's finer points. When he turns to Haruna, she apparently disappeared. Must have been upset that she was outclassed by the new comer. Oh well, as long as she doesn't do anything stupid.
-On stage, the Vampire Ninja's finish their song with Sarasvati still holding on to her lead. The two girls compliment each other before moving on to the next battle, but before that, suddenly, smoke! It's getting hot in there, which probably explains why they took of all their clothes.
-Actually, a new challenger has appeared. As you might have guessed, it's Haruna, and she's doing something stupid. Take your drink. Man, I hope you guys are still with me. However, at the very least, Haruna is dressed up as a punk rocker, which I'm surprisingly fine with. Still, she wants in on the action, so she wants toe chesty girls out of the way.
-Sarasvati tries to get Haruna off the stage, but she goes into "me, me, me" mode and wants to be a star, too. In the audience, Orito collapses, because apparently, this is a dream come true for him. Well, it's one of his dreams come true.
-Oh, hey, it's the blimp! Take a drink. Now Haruna begins her punk rock song and... it's about eggs. Unlike before, we hear Haruna's english VA clearly. For your information, it's Jād Saxton. On the side, Sarasvati and Seraphim are confused by the song, but it's punk, it's not suppose to make sense.
-Also, Haruna, why do you have a mini flame gun? For that matter, how did you get one? Oh, and in case you forgot that she was in this episode, the Headmaster is in the audience, cheering for her girl. And that's a drink for you guys. Seraphim wonders at this point why the crowd even bothers, but it's the big southern family and they don't get out very often.
-Suddenly, Haruna starts flying thanks to a wire. The crew tries to calm things down, but the producer won't let them stop, because he likes her spirit. Given that this is Pride!Wrath, he's probably looking for a new sacrifice.
-Much to our non surprise, Haruna is on the list and climbing the charts. Ayumu questions these people's tastes, but Orito just says that bad music can attract some big fans. Just look at Rebecca Black!
-Luckily, the show realizes that there are normal people out there, and Haruna's terrible song starts driving the people away. She's also making children cry and dogs howl. What a monster. Of course, the big southern family is still there because what else are they doing to do?
-The next couple of scenes have Haruna pulling a Jimi Hendrix by trashing the stage. What, you didn't know that Hendrix had a pink chainsaw? Wide shot with the blimp, so take your drink. On the side, Sarasvati looks on in horror, because Haruna has single handedly ruined her show. Meh, it's what she does.
-Out outro eye catch shows Sarasvati frightened by Haruna's insanity, with the intro eye catch of Ayumu giving up on the whole thing. I don't blame either one of you. Awfully late for the eye catches, isn't it?
-So, yeah, back to Haruna doing what she does best. Ruining almost everything she touches. However, it's not enough. She wants more stardom, so she demands to turn up the heat! Ayumu still can't believe this is happening, but it looks like the Vampire Ninja Girls are trying to pander back their fans with bent over cleavage shots. That's two drinks per pair. The producer rips off his wig in joy while Orito's tablet blew up.
-And apparently we've found our way to a Ramstein concert and fire shoots up from the auidence, likely killing and maiming quite a few of their adoring fans. Ayumu wants this to end at this point, but that's when Eu appears. I completely forgot about you, Eu. She's looking up on the stage where the other girls are. Ayumu guesses that Eu wants to be on stage, but there's the whole can't speak thing. That's when the Headmaster appears (one drink) and has a solution to the problem. A machine that can take the magical power out of one person and put it into another.
-The Headmaster not so subtly suggests that Ayumu can take on Eu's powers for a bit to allow her to sings. Well, Zombie Boy isn't going to hesitate for a second. Please, hurry, because I think we're reaching critical mass on stage.
-Suddenly, the lights go out! Oh god, it's finally happening! The end of the world as we know it! But, before we die, there's one thing you need to do first. Take a drink because the blimp is in the shot.
-The glowstick lights change to green as we pan to the other side of the indoor pool to see Eu on one of the diving platforms in a very normal looking dress. We also get a soft ballad as Cherami Leigh sings her heart out. And it appears to be working as it not only has quite an affect on the big southern family, but the other normal people are enjoying it, too.
-We check on on Ayumu who's suited up, but also forgets that taking on Eu's powers means no talking. Oh, and with a creepy smile comes one drink. Hope you guys aren't dead.
-While Eu sings, Haruna, Seraphim and Sarasvati are impressed. Even Orito, and without a sex joke, too. Shocking. Wow, hopefully things won't go horribly wrong.
So, things go horribly wrong as the magic machine the Headmaster has lost power, meaning that the powers are going back to Eu. This causes her to stop singing, but Haruna appears to lend a hand with the song. Which means, duet! Wow, that's completely unlike Haruna.
(Continued in part 4)

Is This a Zombie? Episode 12 Summary (Part 2)-We don't get an answer because Haruna's jealousy vibe kicked in, requiring something terrible to happen with Ayumu. Hence, a beach ball to the face. How much air did you girls put in that thing, anyway? Oh, and just to add more to you lolicons, here's the Headmaster lounging about. Three drinks are required here.
-Oh, and there's a concert, too. What a random happenstance. There's a popstar on stage insulting her audience, which is the wrong thing to do unless you're pandering to a specific audience and... oh, that's Sarasvati singing to a crowd of clones. Or a very big family. They must be from the south.
-Ayumu is totally shocked and thinks that Sarasvati is trying to take over the world and seems to be doing a good job, as she's apparently converted Orito. You know, Ayumu's friend? Yeah, I forgot him, too.
-So, yeah, Sarasvati is apparently a net idol and her whole gimmick is the gothic lolita put everybody down time. If she was voiced by Mela Lee then we'd have the perfect actor allusion here. She plays Rachel Alucard from Blazblue. Similar archetype. Maybe that explains why people want to get stepped on by Sarasvati.
-So, yeah, the purpose of the scene, aside from more fanservice shots of Sarasvati, is to throw in some masterbation jokes. In total, five drinks. That's when Seraphim shows up and basically has the same reaction as Ayumu. Oh, and for the record, Sarasvati's english VA, Caitlin Glass, is actually singing, but you can't hear it because it's in the background. Ayumu tells Seraphim to ignore it, but she disappears, and right in front of Orito, too. So much for that secret.
-As you probably guessed, Seraphim appeared on stage to confront Sarasvati about her exposing herself to the world, because Vampire NInjas are suppose to hide in the shadows and such. Doing a bang up job there, Seraphim. Simply put, it's for their future! Because being a Vampire Ninja doesn't pay the bills, but being a Net Idol does. I'm not going to touch that one.
-So, Sarasvati continues the act and asks who wants to die first, but Orito decides that Seraphim wants to get in on the spot light and he should help pop her cherry. No drinks because this is what Orito does. What does require a drink is the ass shot of Seraphim's ass. Actually, let's make that three drinks. She also asks the important question. Why is being a net idol so important to the future of the Vampire Ninja Village?
-Simply put, the Way of the Vampire Ninja requires them to adapt to their surroundings, so she became a Net Idol. Because trying to be a Net Idol is a very dangerous thing, which is probably true. Also, what the hell is with that image that is being used while Sarasvati gives her monologue? Long story short, it's Darwinism in Net Idol form. And the crowd eats it up. Oh, right, I forgot they were there.
-Seraphim is completely surprised by the reaction, but they aren't the only one's getting excited as Orito brings out his tablet... seriously, who brings a tablet to a pool? Orito brings out the tablet and sees Sarasvati's numbers skyrocketing. Oh, and for the record, in the human world, she's known as Kirara Hoshikawa, or Lovely Kirara.
-And just to add to the absurdity of it all, Seraphim finds herself on the list, much to her surprise. Seriously, she's on the stage and she's stunned. Like, deer in headlights stunned. Oh, and just for fun, there's a screen behind her with her picture and on the side are her measurements, which are currently unknown. Classy.
-Seraphim has no idea what's going on anymore, but Sarasvati takes it as a challenge. Really, the poor girl just wants to be a normal Vampire Ninja, not some pop idol. And because we haven't beaten this dead horse to the ground yet, Haruna shows up, but she's more upset that Seraphim will leave her behind. That's not the response I was expecting. Orito offers some words of comfort before shouting random things at Seraphim.
-On stage, Seraphim wants off this crazy train, but Sarasvati asks if she's lost her nerve to fight. This hits one of Sera's buttons, but she doesn't fall for the trap easily. She claims to be proud of her heritage, then asks Sarasvati to stop this at once. Sarasvati refuses, but then generates a bag, telling Seraphim that there's only one way to do this. Time to gather the rest of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
-We fade to black, but quickly return to... wait, why is it so dark all of a sudden? And where did the audience find glowsticks? Talk about leaving the realm of... actually, let's not finish that.
-On stage, we see Sarasvati and Seraphim, now dressed in a similar style to Sarasvati, but obviously two sizes too short for her. While the big cloned family is ready to rock, Seraphim and Ayumu ask themselves how they let this happen. Poor luck, really.
-So, our two vampire ninja's start singing. I can't really comment on Morgan Garrett's singing (Seraphim's english VA) because she's getting overpowered by Caitlin Glass, but I do compliment FUNImation for having the balls to do this in english. Unless they were already in english. Somebody check that for me.
-Meanwhile, Orito is in the audience, calling this the biggest music battle he's ever seen. Clearly he did not see the battle between Sex Bob-omb and the Katayanagi twins. That was an epic battle.
-So while the battle is going, the Vampire Ninja girls have a telepathic conversation, completely naked! If you're still with me, that's two drinks. Still, Sarasvati isn't backing down, so she results to one of her trump cards. She strips out of her pop idol costume into something that wouldn't look out of place on a dominatrix. Take three drinks for the ass shot.

Is This a Zombie? Episode 12 SummaryHi, folks. Welcome to the final episode... of season 1. With all that nasty business about invading spirits and suicidal zombies, it's time for our heroes to relax and take a break from all the dangers they've been through.
Which means, sadly, it's another day for Ayumu where he get's teased and beaten for absolutely no reason. Let's kick this pig!
(Seriously, if you kick a pig, I'll kick you!)
-Our episode starts with the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen making their way to the resort and... is there a paper cloud of Ayumu's head? No, can't take this seriously. Anyway, Ayumu is giving major props for the win, and the show provides us a Charlie Sheen joke, because that's never not funny.
-Ayumu is happy that it's an indoor swimming pool, because he can swim normally and stuff. Eu seems happy about it, too. Seraphim asks the important question of how many times Haruna entered before winning. Well, they do say the 1000th time is the charm, after all. And eu can't wait to see wear a swimsuit. One or the other.
-Suddenly, the Headmaster appears, demanding a nip slip, but is overruled by Haruna and Seraphim. I could understand Seraphim but Haruna? Yeah, I'm going to stop there. Besides, you save the raunchy stuff for the OVA. Still, the group is excited as they reach their destination called the Yggdrasil. Doesn't look like a tree or a pint sized fairy. Ha, obscure reference. Wait, why is the Headmaster there?
-One cut later and we're in the indoor pool. Man, this place is huge! I've never seen so many pools before. Of course, nobody's swimming because you got Seraphim in a moderate bikini, so everybody's gawking at her for two obvious reasons. One, it's red. Two, she's wearing a jacket, which just makes it more enticing. Haruna is less than pleased but admits defeat to her opponent, but says next year she'll be twice as bouncy. Ayumu has a hard time buying that one. I mean, how can you be twice as bouncy than a beach ball?
-Haruna, however, in her infinite wisdom, declares her victory over Ayumu. Yeah, I did mention that she had a few screws loose in her head, right? As they argue, Eu walks up. She's probably wearing something normal, but with the armor plating over her... what? Seriously? Are we going to pander to that group? Seriously? Man, if I wasn't obligated to do this I'd stop it here. For those that want to know, Eu is wearing a school swimsuit with her name on it.
-Something tells me I'm going to want to start a drinking game here. Too bad I don't drink. Ah, Pepsi, you never let me down. Back to Eu in her swimsuit. Haruna takes a good look at her before looking at herself in a failed attempt to get cleavage going before turning to Ayumu and declares him a boobman. Not like we would know since Eu covers it up well. Besides, he's probably more of a leg man, which puts the Vampire Ninjas in the lead there.
-Ayumu is pleased that Eu was able to find a swimsuit, but I have a question, and it's an important one. Why is her name written on it? Does it get cleaned off or did somebody actually have that ready to go? Oh, and one more question, but a smaller one. Isn't the armor important to keep her magic from going coocoo for coco puffs?
-Still, Eu is pleased with the compliment, complete with a blush. D'aw. Oh, and take a drink.
-Tonight's answer to the question of Is This a Zombie? is Yes, There's Still More. Oh god, it's a horde! I knew the game director was out to get me! Quick, get me my pills!
-Back to our adventures of the pool. Oh, and there's a blimp flying around. Don't ask. Take two drinks, one to make up for it's first appearance and one for now. We quickly see Eu in a tube walking to and floating in a wave pool while Ayumu watches on, smiling that creepy smile he does. Haruna lovingly points this out with a kick, but it's out of jealousy. Seraphim shows up to do a verbal beatdown of Ayumu because that what she does the entire season. Three drinks.
-Ayumu doesn't deny it, but to up the ante, Mael shows up and damn girl, you hid them well! Oh, Taeko and Kanami are here. Why? Because this is the beach episode where we get all of the female characters together and try to put them in skimpy outfits. Right now, it's pretty tamed.
-Anyway, Mael is stuck on love, but Ayumu seems less than pleased to see his wife there. No, more like apathy. Ayumu, you have some issues to work out. Mael says that it was true love and he needs to except it, with a bounce in her step. Take a drink. Oh, and blimp in the next scene, which is one more.
-Ayumu learns how Mael got tickets. Turns out, the 1000th time was the charm for her, too. What a strange coincidence. While she, Ayumu, Mael and Seraphim talk, Taeko and Kanami are talking to Eu about the water and making small talk. When Eu responds in her normal ways, Ayumu makes up an excuse for her. Leprosy. But don't worry, it's not contagious.
-Okay, actually, it was something else, but that wouldn't be as fun. Still, Taeko, probably looking for a way in, decides that playing with Eu is the best option, so they'll grab some balls, and not the ones that you're thinking, and bounce them around for a while.
-The scene has Mael, Taeko, Kanami, Eu and Haruna playing, all complete with still shots of them in VN type shots. That's five drinks. Add one more for Ayumu's creepy smile. As for Seraphim? As always, verbal beatdown of Ayumu. No drink there.
-Still, Seraphim is happy about this event, because it means that Eu can relax a little after that grueling battle that took place last week. Ayumu, however, says that he can take the punishment, because, and say it with me, he's a zombie. That's two drinks. The one surprising thing from here is the look Seraphim gives Ayumu. Oh, could you be falling for the maggot?
