I have to admit, I’m not a big fan of the Futami twins because they are out of control. Despite the cliché storm in their mystery, they were still entertaining.

The iDOLM@STER – Episode 8 – Adventures of Azusa Miura… in a Wedding Dress!

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes – Summer Special – Kokoro Becomes an iDOLM@STER!
Well, sort of… It’s not like she had a choice or anything.
It felt like a long time since Tantei Opera Milky Holmes ended back in December of last year. This show was particularly fun not because the girls were adorable, but for the outright hilarious comedy that didn’t involve the overused tsundere archetypes. With a second season coming next winter, I can only wonder about the shenanigans Milky Holmes and the Genius 4 will be up to.
For now, we have the summer special [1. The special took place between episodes 7 and 8.], which centers on Kokoro’s journey of becoming an idol shortly after the G4’s demotion for failing to capture Aresenè among other things.

For those in the United States, I hope everyone had a nice Labor Day and the last unofficial days of summer vacation.

Afterwards, we went out to dinner, stay at a hotel and went home today. Although short, it was pretty fun.
On the other hand, Akari sets out on an adventure with Woody to send an old letter from a young girl that she made a promise with.
