Shugo Chara!! DOKI— episode 2 (54)

Sorry, no pictures.

Well, first off, I am getting kinda tired with the part of the episode before the opening. It reveals too much and I just want to get the show started. If they continue this for too long, it will minimise the mystery and seriousness of the show.

For some reason this anime is not going as what I expected. I thought that it would generally be more serious like Nanoha and Shakugan no Shana as a friend of mine, who likes shows full of action, is a fan of this series. Instead, we see general magical themes and have some episodes that goes in a pattern.

This episode we see a new character who introduces herself as Lulu Domorselle. She has a shugo chara called Nana and both of them are original characters special created by Peach-Pit for the anime series. I am not sure if they will appear in the manga, but if they are not, I will get a feeling that the anime series would be different from the manga, which is generally much more better and exciting.

And Amu gets yet another power up, with a new Open Heart and better fighting abilities, though a little exaggerated at times.

Now what I hope to get from this anime is that they will at least stop putting in episodes that works as recap and get on with the story. And I would like to see more attacks instead of just one or two that they repeatedly use and yet can still defeat the enemy.

However, the main focus is quite original: to show the importance of people’s dreams and also how much one’s true character is different from the character that they often show to others around them. This mught get me to watch more of the anime, plus me wanting to hear more of Mizuki Nana’s songs.
