![]() The combination this week of the Eizouken club and the robot club really works well. For me, all of these elements come together to create a very memorable character. They’re usually rarely seen supporting characters. Moreover, it’s fairly rare to have an aloof mastermind as such a present part of the main cast. Visually she seems meant to stand out and it probably the most instantly recognizable of the three from a distance. And her character design is also very striking. She’s a calculating mastermind but she likes to get goofy and has a silly sneakers backpack. She has a sharp tongue but she’s quick to give praise. She’s cool almost cold, no nonsense and pragmatic but she’s also an extremely devoted friend and she isn’t embarrassed or shy about it at all. ![]() I think that Kanamori is a collection of tropes that are all familiar but not always grouped together. In short, she’s just kind of perfect within this context. I kind of feel that so much of this anime is sickly-sweet with enthusiasm for the medium, that Kanamori’s more grounded nature really helps me connect with this trio and she points out the pitfalls of the girls’ plan as they embellish the robot before the audience needs to start picking holes in the story. I absolutely love her, the practical nature of her character, the way she keeps the other two in check but also respects their strengths, and her general commentary on events. Within a brilliant and well balanced cast she still manages to shine brightly and and despite being in the background of so many shots her remarks cut through so much of the clutter and end up stealing the scene. I’d like to go on a small tangent from reviewing the episode and take a moment to discuss Kanamori. Wait, what was the question? Oh yeah, Eizouken rules. Eizouken is a great episode to watch with friends to begin with and sharing passions is always the best. ![]() Man I would have loved to have seen the episode with Scott.
