The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
While the show starts off a bit creepy with a little bit about a particular daddy, the show shifts gears to weight in general as Chitose makes a nod towards Asako apparently putting on weight. We’ve had a little bit of that before with some of the clothes she was wearing, but now it seems like it’s made a bit clearer that she has. And in the school nurses office, it turns into a battle of the pinch as the two adults went at each other over it. It also explains why Asako is now on a diet and trying to get the kids to pay attention to what they’re eating. Because Pocky is such a huge killer when it comes to the calories. Of course, just seeing why Chitose wants a firm body is disturbing in so many ways, especially when she envisions it in such a sultry form.
In Summary:
While the previous episode was a little underwhelming, there’s a mix of good fun here this time around as it deals with snacking, the battle of the bulge and the dreams of a sexy hardbody by a ten year old girl. Yes, it gets creepy at times, but the show could be so much creepier that you have to admire that they haven’t gone there and as far as they could over the course of the show so far. There’s some cute parts to be had and an episode that features a little Pocky is a-ok in my book.
