Filler, filler, yes, I know. You other fangirls can complain all you want about stupid catgirl, but I am happy as long as Ikuto is there. Lalalala~ (Which brings up rage of a different sort, but I already spoiled myself reading summaries…)
Instead I’ll get into a small rant about something completely, different, ‘kay?
Ew…CrunchyRoll watermarked the video instead of just the player. DX And not just that, I can’t turn off the subtitles. (AGH!)
Is this their way of attempting to combat the stealing? Well, guess what fools it’s not going to work. Ew…I only wanted the membership because of softsubs.
Their watermark is ugly, the subtitles serve their purpose but they’re ugly too. wtf…I hope enough people complain so that they realize that they can’t limit other people’s enjoyment just because they pissed a bunch of fans off.
Ugh…even without downloading horrible raws and such it seems I’m still going to have to return to my practice of replacing screencaps when the raw comes out. Sheesh…it may be a small thing, but I’m accustomed to raw screencaps. Assholes. -_-;

Summary
Ikuto is still staying in Amu’s room (and her bed), though she says she’s not enjoying it at all (because she can’t get any sleep). She worries about Ikuto all day at school and during the guardian’s meeting (where she also panics about them finding out). Then news of a cat-eared girl comes up, and for some reason they think it might have something to do with Easter. -_-; They find the cat-eared girl later, but it turns out she’s just cosplaying as an anime character and pretending to be an “ally of justice” and stuff. Amu being nosey, goes ahead and talks to her.
Meanwhile, because Ikuto woke up hungry, Yoru went to get him food, but got distracted by yarn. Ikuto goes down to check on him and while he’s untangeling Yoru from the yarn, Amu comes home and sees them. Cute tsun~ couple fight ensues. After some normal teasing and such, Ikuto says that if she’s unhappy, she can throw him out and Amu says she’d be happy if he took off.
The next day (Amu still didn’t get any sleep), she leaves food for Ikuto and goes off to school. The cat-eared girl appears nearby again and after she ruins some guys art while trying to help, she gets discouraged and is open for Lulu’s ?-egg transformation. Cat-Eared girl transforms into a real mahou shoujo, but is (obviously) eventually stopped by Amu. The embryo appears, but Lulu and Nana fail at catching it. Because of the girl, Amu realizes that she doesn’t know what’s going on, Ikuto came to her because he had nowhere else to go, but she said some pretty mean things. So she goes right home with more food for Ikuto, but…he’s not there.

Thoughts
Well, we all know Ikuto has to come back at some point. I’d like to say that first. There’s still a few important scenes left that take place in Amu’s house. Plus, some of those scenes are important to the way things work out in the overall plot and stuff. I wouldn’t get too anxious over it. (I already knew it was coming because I tried to translate the episode summaries) I’m fine having Amu worry over him~

Ahahahaha~ He’s still staying in her bed. Hahaha. I like this. In the manga Amu (tried to) forced Ikuto to stay on the floor. Hehehe, even if she says she hate it now, her willingness to let him stay in her bed makes me giggle.

Amu pretending that she is incredibly srs and displeased with her current situation. Smiles while complaining later will prove otherwise. (And sheesh Amu, if you don’t want him in your bed, just make him sleep somewhere else. Poser~)

Spacey Amu, thinking about Ikuto. (Okay, so we don’t know that for sure, but that is so much cuter, right?)

Hahaha. You can’t even tell him just that he’s staying your room? lol…I’m having fun trying to imagine what kind of face Tadase would make if he knew Ikuto was sleeping in the same bed as Amu every night.


Cute~ Chibit Ikuto is cute~ (This has been established but still) I love how Amu is imagining him too. Ah…chibi Ikuto is teh best.

…Shut up Tadase. I don’t care about whatever anymore, but when he’s being dumb, someone needs to tell him to shut-up. Kiseki brings up Ikuto having cat ears so, “lol! Maybe this girl is connected to Easter somehow too?” Suuuure. Great detective work Tadase.

Ehehehe~ Even though she looks kind of happy. “It sucks worrying about him…*smile*smile*smile*”

Personally I don’t think…”Choco-tan” was as bad as everyone else probably does. I mean, her character is dumb as a sack of bricks, but her parts of the episode actually entertained me somewhat.
Basically it felt like Satelight reminding us of how much worse Shugo Chara could be. With a lame heroine who really just goes out and helps people every week (boring!).

So you want to be Mary-Sue?
Hahaha. Yes. Reminding us how much worse we could have it and also reminding us that compared to so many other heroines, Amu is the farthest thing from a Sue.



Sleepy Ikuto mini gallery~ Tehehe~
Having Ikuto yawn especially made my day. Ehehehe…

lol. Yoru (a kitty playing with yarn). And so now our questions about how exactly Ikuto and Yoru managed to get all caught up in yarn are answered.
But uh-oh~ We’ll just have to wait and see how this proceeds.

More smiling while complaining, huh Amu? She’s so cute.

Cute >_< Did Ikuto’s ears just pop out when he started trying to untangle Yoru out of instinct, or did Ikuto pkay with the yarn a little bit too? Huh? Ehehehe~

“Oh no! The waifu came home!”
I can understand why Amu got angry (she’s so worried about Ikuto getting discovered then finds him hanging out in open sight), but she didn’t laugh? Not even a little? It’s Ikuto…with cat ears…covered in yarn. That deserves at least a little giggle.

Waifu got mad~
Ahahahaha…ah…this scene really did make me laugh (Ikuto acting like a kitty always does). I really want the raw to come out soon so I can have this image without watermarks of subtitles. I love being watermark and subtitle free~

One big happy family! Amu gets to be the angry housewife (lol, obviously). Ikuto is the hubby (obviously) and Your can be their poor misguided, but adorable child. The kitty and tsuntsun family~ (lol *is tired*)
But poor Yoru! Amu hurt his sensitive little kitty ears.


Ehehehe~ Cute~ Like they’re both pouting in their own different ways. Stubborn couple~

Okay Ran. Even though your chara-nari hogs up all the screentime, you can be my favorite today. ^_^

Obvious tsundere line is obvious.
Dear little Amu-chan. Never begin a sentence with, “It’s not like…” or end it with “…or anything.” Waaay too obvious (but it’s cute so it’s okay).

Ahahahahaha~! YES! Damn straight Ikuto. See through her obvious tsuntsun and tell her that it’s love. Since she’s too dense to realize it herself. (Amu-chan! Hurry up~!)

Ah…Ikuto. Reminds me of a line from the manga. Even though Ikuto teases Amu so much, he really doesn’t want to really bother her or cause her trouble.

Booo~ Amu-chan~ That’s too mean.
Luckily she realized that pretty soon, but still. Stupid Amu-chan.

Didn’t anyone ever tell you not to go to bed angry? Stupid Amu-chan…again (though of course I still love her~)

Awww. Amu made onigiri for Ikuto (ah! And little tiny ones for Yoru! So cute~!)

EDIT: *gasp* How did I forget to put this one in the first time around. Stray cat Ikuto…do want!
I’d take both of them home…so cute…*dazed fangirl mode*

^_^ I love how even when Amu is angry she gets worried so easily. She’s way too obvious (and cute) for her own good.

ZOMG! Aside from the stupid question mark, I thought that the chara-nari actually looked better than the actual person for once. Good job! And she actually had real powers that would cause real trouble. Good job again!
Though yeah…?-egg stuff is still annoying. Disappointing to go back to it after last week’s awesome episode.

So…basically what Amu is trying to tell Choco-tan here is that she should stop trying to be a magical girl and should be an otaku instead? lolz…If she gets too into that hobby she’ll start having delusions of being a magical girl again.

Fail.
Hahaha. Stupid Nana. Trying to catch the embryo with a net. Sheesh Lulu just give up or learn how to chara-nari aready. -_-

Awww. Amu saw through Ikuto’s own tsuntsun cooldere~ act. How cute. A stubborn couple where both people finally realize when the other one is just being stubborn. We have almost reached OTP status, yes?

Uh…oh. Ikuto’s not there anymore.
Hmm…I could probably rage about how Satelight is stupid and takes away my one enjoyment for fillers right after giving it to me…but I’ll take more of a wait and see attitude instead.

Poor Amu-chan though. Because she knows that he left because of what she said and she was pretty much ready to apologize (though she might not have apologized directly because she’s stubborn).
Do your best Amu-chan! And find Ikuto soon! You two need more alone time in your room (I want cuddling…lol).
Anyway, like I said before, I knew this was going to happen. Though I do have faith that Satelight will bring Ikuto back to Amu’s room. But you can’t blame them for trying to make things interesting in the meantime. The manga got postponed an extra month after all.

Preview

Amu worries about Ikuto and is “feeling down” because he disappeared (ehehehe~).
Well we saw Yoru in the preview, which during this time, definitely means that Ikuto will be around somewhere too. So hopefully Ikuto will only be missing for a little while. Maybe he’ll get found as soon as next week or the one after?

Oh yeah. We also have a UFO girl. Feel free to ignore her.
(Woo! Raw just came out as I finished typing up my post. I’m going to go ahead and publish it right away since it’s done, but I’ll be able to replace the necessary pictures soon. ^_^ Done.)

WHOOO! Thanks for the summary! ^-^ Hehehe the kitty moments are love <3 It revived my brain after it died because of finals! And thankfully there were no unwanted accidents resulting from strange moments in this episode (although my cat did sit on my laptop while I was watching XD unfortunately it was during the Magical Kitty Girl ? Egg thing XD) Awe man Ikuto left TT.TT…oh well more ‘drama’ XD And more love-dovey reunion moment(s)! Sometimes Amu should really listen to her charas, oh well that makes it more adorable! ^-^ Tsk Tsk Nana you should know that using a net to catch anything in ALL cartoons never works! XD Thanks again for the review! They always make my day! ^-^
(On a random note: HA! I made onigiri today and it was CAT SHAPED! WHOO! What a strange coincidence…ok not really XD)

I must try not to be angry with Satelight. He’ll come back right? Because if he doesn’t, Satelight is going to have to face me and my flamethrower! Grr. But besides that, this episode was so damn cute it was unbelievable! And Ikuto and all the yarn is just…*Daydreams and drools* The filler girl was stupid but her chara-nari was alright…but what’s with the long ass name? Seriously, that’s a mouthful. I tried to say it and failed epicly, lol.
But Ikuto had better come back or else hell will ensue. I’m tired of putting up with Satlight’s crap! But you’re right, him being there ties into the plot so they HAVE to bring him back. Teehee.
Tsun-tsun Amu! I love their little couple spats! And her big grin while worrying about him too! Amazing!
But he had better come back, lol.

i didn’t get to watch the whole eps. but its pretty good! and they will have to make ikuto come bakc or else lotta fans won’t be happy and the plot won’t be accurate. i noticed satelight don’t stick with the plot very well. i don’t like their filler ideas either.
January 17th, 2009
why ikuto?!!? :p
maybe i should re-read parts of the little comments…but nooo.
but i love tsun-tsun amu! haha. and…UFO kid???? weirddd.
January 17th, 2009
Thanks for the Summery because i am still downloading the RAW episode and i haven’t watched it yet
Ikuto and Amu are FOREVER !! All episodes with Amuto are awesome ^^ they make me a happy fangirl :D i didn’t hate the filler girl that much , she was cute and her powers aren’t bad at all so i forgive u this time Satelight ! i heard some rumors that ikuto will be kidnapped next episode so do u know anything about it ?
January 17th, 2009
episode sounds good. But why have they made him leave
Come back – we love you. Your summaries are really quick and detailed as always x I hope we see ikuto soon.
January 17th, 2009
oh and just looked at that screencap of amu entering the empty room and this food is gone. I am glad ikuto ate before he left xx
January 17th, 2009
Is Choco-tan supposed to be a parody of Shoko-tan? Ikuto and Yoru galore~ And where’s my new ending?!
January 17th, 2009
I think Satelight is going to make Ikuto disappear for most of the episode, and then come back at the very end. Amu will be all like “where have you been?”, and Ikuto will say something like “Did you miss me?” and Amu will say “as if.” or something.
Amu’s just being a tsundere. She’s pissed off that she doesn’t understand why she’s always thinking about him, so that’s why she says mean things.She releases her mistake at the end.
Ikuto and Yoru were so adorable in this episode.
As for filler girl….yeah.

…I have to be frank about this. Other than the small interaction of Amu and Ikuto, this episode…was boring. The girl dosen’t have a very intersting personality and it drove me crazy to an extent where I nearly fell asleep when the show was centered on her.
Her chara-nari at least is decent. But woo-hoo…back to freaky chara-nari fillers we go. Hooray.

Oh noes!! Ikuto!!!! Come back!!! Sorry, I had to say it. I do understand why Staelight did this and that he will be back soon. Though I was really looking forward to scads of filler with Ikuto. *sigh* Maybe they will get rid of Lulu and then Ikuto will come back. I was thinking that if there were scads of Ikuto filler it would be funny when he leaves for reals, because instead of saying”I have been staying at your house secretly for three days” it would be like, “I have been staying secretly at your house for about 3 weeks” Imagining Amu’s mom’s face…..The filler character was gag-worthy, but,I agree with what you said – lots of shojo characters are like that, Amu breaks the mold and it is so refreshing~
January 17th, 2009
I’m so excited for this episode! :D Thanks for the great summary and review.

Omg thanks so much for the great summary! I sure hope Ikuto comes back and I’m pretty sure he will!:) I don’t like the direction that Satellite is headed ‘cuz i want them to follow the manga. D: But the yarn scene with IkutoxYoru made me LAUGH! It was so kawaii! The whole ep!
January 17th, 2009
Ooooh, scary evil cat girl…Wow satelight… DO BETTER

pfff don’t shut Tadase >.> geee why take the blame on him? it’s Satelight the ones that come with the stupid plot… and speaking of which… I don’t think he’d react in any jealous/hurt/betrayed way because he didn’t even tell Amu about how he feels about her… she’s not that aware
January 17th, 2009
>.< The episode got cut in the middle of the episode for me, and the rest wouldn’t play…boo.
All the chibis were so cute! Especially Ikuto when Amu was spacing out (she looks so cute there too). I loved how Amu just froze with Ikuto in her bed, she didn’t even try to kick him off. And yes, yawning Ikuto wins. ^.^
The yarn scene was funny, (“Crap.”) and then the pouting couple was cute too. If only Tadase knew their antics and be all jealous. But what Amu said was too harsh…thankfully she left some onigiri.
And…no!! Ikuto’s not there?! Like everyone else, I want Ikuto back in Amu’s room (I hope he does)! It seems the fans would be more mad than
interested though. :[
In the preview, is it just me or does Amu look like one of those people who stuff themselves when they are depressed?
(I’m completely ignoring filler girls ._.)

Yeah this episode was… okay.. but Ikuto disappearing? Probably since it’s “UFO theme’ next ep… is Satelight trying to make it seem like he got “abducted”? If it is, how lame…
January 17th, 2009
i think crunchyroll is not very pleased that other sites had this episode out so fast with subs.
so really crunchyroll is helping us all out by getting subs to us all so fast.
friend of the week was pretty special this week. but as long as they do not change into a giant toilet seat cover i am cool with it.
and all hail trying to catch the Embryo with a tiny little net.

January 18th, 2009
wow. I know im negative and all, but this was a disappointment.
Amu’s great and all, but she should’ve just forgotten about the hopeless cat girl and just gotten home so she could stop Ikuto from leaving, (not that it’ll be hard to get him back or anything…heheh).
If Ikuto doesn’t come back next episode, i swear i’ll die! I’ve been deprived of the romantic action! *growl…*
Can’t Satelite stick to the anime and keep everything happen fast? *sigh* DX
January 19th, 2009
Amu knows she is in love she just doesn’t know she happens to be in denial! Maybe the embryo is a ufo? Hahah just kidding I already have an idea of what it is but heres my question how do they know the sparkly egg will acually grant them a wish? Random but w/e and while I’m at it arn’t easter and tadase on the same page they both want to rule the world . . .
January 21st, 2009
Ehee..Tadase-kun would be so crushed to know that ikuto had been sleeping in amu’s room for countless nights ;) he’d be all like ”But Hinamori-san, am i not good enough for you?”. Ikuto HAS to come back! After all, ikuto is living with amu for the time being when he confesses to her, even if she takes it as a joke. It was pure win to see ikuto and amu having their lovers quarel again, it never gets old. And why would anyone throw ikuto out into the street T.T i’d take him in, and yoru.

I know he will be found cause I saw clips of him (still in amu’s house) in amv’s. BUT STILL!!!!!! Why Ikuto!?!?
