Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
Rabbit episodes tend to follow a fairly straight forward formula. One or another of the girls will be chosen to have the spotlight shined on them for a while, we’ll see them interact with the others, fun and cuteness will follow. Thus, why there really isn’t too much reason to do extended write-ups involving plot for this series. Sure, events do happen and there is a very loose interconnection of the episodes, but this show is pretty much the polar opposite of a plot-driven story.
This time out, we start with Rize being the center of attention as we see her help out the various sports clubs at her school, but the real focus is on Sharo, who seems to be having a hard time getting any closer to her beloved sempai as there are too many other fans. Rize seems to notice this, but when she asks the others about it, Cocoa comes to the wrong-ish conclusion: that Sharo feels left out and would like to join Rize in her club-helping activities.
However, all of this is just an elaborate setup to introduce the school legend of “Miss Emerald,” a member of the Literary Club who apparently went around offering advice to all the other clubs (good advice, it would appear), with only one other student able to match her, one of her juniors in the Literary Club. As Sharo tries to get info on the legend…hilarity ensues, of course. This is not a serious show with serious plots. Unless you think it’s normal for an elite girls school to have a Commoners Club (yes…yes…we know) or a Blowgun Club.
Yes, it’s an episode of cosplay and frivolity. And you know what? That’s not bad at all. They even set up a camping trip for next week.
There isn’t really too much of a mystery as to who “Miss Emerald” is. We’ve all already met someone who writes for a living, but likes to go around dispensing life advice. The identity is then clinched when we meet, for the first time, Aoyama Blue Mountain’s editor, who seems to be the only person Aoyama is afraid of and the only one who can drag her around. There’s no secret here as the real name of “Miss Emerald” and Aoyama’s real first name are revealed to be one and the same. So, off we went in search of “E” and we did, in fact, find her.
This was another outing of cute frivolity, highlighted by a hefty amount of Rize and Sharo cosplay. The others are in there too as always, including scatter-brained Cocoa who simply cannot allow the spotlight to stray off of her for too long. So, the usual relaxing installment of Is the Order a Rabbit??
In Summary:
Rize helps out many clubs at her school and Sharo tags along. Upon learning of the legendary “Miss Emerald,” who apparently was even more amazing than Rize, Sharo investigates. While she never quite manages to get all the information together, we the audience learn the identity of this legendary student…though it was fairly obvious from the initial clues given out.
