I’m so behind on my episode reviews! I have so much to catch up on that it’s kind of mind-boggling. I shouldn’t have let my hiatus get so out of hand! ^.^
But now it’s back to business! I’m going to do my best to get all caught up and stay caught up! This is just an overview on my thoughts, nothing to specific! (It would be a very long post if I typed up everything I was thinking! 
)
Yosh! Here Goes!

Bleh. Just bleh. I’m am seriously pissed off about this. Not only did they entirely change the plot of Shugo Chara, but the first two episodes of the second season weren’t even about that crappy plot, they were recaps! RECAPS I SAY!
If all Satelight had time to do for the second season premiere was recaps, they should have taken a break. Two weeks, a month even. Hell, they could have take six months and I’d still be happy as longs as they didn’t f*ck up the anime. But no, instead of taking a healthy break to prevent their employees from banging their heads on the walls, they decide to dive right into the second season. It didn’t even occur to them that while taking a break one of their employees could actually look up the word PLOT in a dictionary and explain it clearly to the person in charge. But apparently Satelight only uses dictionary’s to beat their employees over the head, killing the few remaining braincells they managed to spare while creating this ridiculous anime-original plot we are all going to be forced to endure. *Fumes*
There was only one reason to even watch these episodes. Or should I say episode? Episode 53 had a nice Amuto moment in it. That was it. That is all I wanted to see. After the nice Amuto moment, the dictator behind the Shugo Chara anime decided to move on completely and act as if that moment never happened! They just threw in some Amuto because they wanted to keep the viewers they knew they were going to lose after coming up with the crappy Sailor Moon knock off plot. (I love Sailor Moon, but I loved Shugo Chara because it wasn’t like Sailor Moon. It was a more original mahou shoujo than that.)
Anyhow…
AWWWWWWWW~! So cute. Ikuto is beautiful per usual, even if the animation dropped a few notches. But where the hell is Amu’s blushing?! WHERE?! GAH! Still managed to get a fangirly reaction from me though. XD
*Returns to being pissed at Satelight and silently fumes in corner*
And that is just about all I have to say on episode 52 and 53 of Shugo Chara Doki. Bleh.
I made yet ANOTHER Shugo Chara AMV. I’m sure one day I’ll get sick of making them, but not at the moment. I love Amuto and it’s the pairing that’s most important to me at the moment, so I like to encourage the fandom! ^.^
So here is my AMV, to the song Vermillion Pt. 2 by the band Slipknot.
I tried telling it from Ikuto’s perspective and I thought it was a rather fitting song for him. I really adore this song as well, it’s my all time favorite.
I don’t really know why I keep posting all of my AMV’s here. I guess I just like to brag when I accomplish something! Hehe.
You can view all of my video’s under my account name CloveCigarettes on Youtube! ^.^
This weeks episode was good…or at least better than usual. Now that we finally have come to the end of season one, Ikuto’s arc is drawing closer! ^.^
Summary
This episode begins with Amu having a dream. In the dream she’s with Dia, who asks Amu what her wish is as the embryo appears. Amu falls out of bed and wakes up. Her and her Charas go out later, on the way to some Guardian thing. Amu wonders what she really would wish for if she had the embryo. Su says Amu would wish to marry Tadase (SU said it, and Amu didn’t really seem to pleased about it) and Ran says Amu would wish for a new outfit. Amu rejects both of these ideas and starts listing off things she would wish for, like seeing Nadeshiko again. She eventually confuses herself because she doesn’t know what she would choose.
She looks across the street and sees Yukari and Nikaidou, who are out shopping. She walks up and asks them if they’re on a date and they brutally deny it. Nikaidou says he recently got an e-mail from Easter by accident that said they were really close to finding the embryo. Amu presses him for details because she’s curious about Ikuto but Nikaidou says he doesn’t know.
In Easter’s headquarters Evil Director and Ikuto are in an elevator. They arrive at a secret room were the true leader of Easter is. (Sadly behind a curtain wall, so we don’t get to find out who it is. But Meh, I still think it’s the First King) The Director talks to Leader guy about their current plan and introduces Ikuto, then they leave. Ikuto and The Director go back to the regular office and talk about the usual things. Ikuto leaves and the Director pulls out a file on Amu, because he is planning to bring her down.
The Guardians are holding a party on the roof of their school, for no substantial reason. The topic of the embryo comes up and everyone says what they’d wish for. All of there wishes are a little ridiculous, except for Rima’s. She would wish for a warm, loving family. (Aww~) Amu receives a text message from “Ikuto” telling her to meet him at “that place” the Charas wonder where it is, but Amu knows and runs off to see him.
She arrives at the amusement park and looks for Ikuto, stopping briefly at the tea cups to reminisce about her and Ikuto’s date. Her Charas point out a strange building and Amu goes inside. She gets locked in by a stupid Easter guy and trapped by a new X egg invention. The Guardians are wondering where Amu went when they notice the sky is flooded with X egg machines, which all get switched on.
Amu tries to call someone on her phone, but isn’t getting any service. He Charas suggest that she just transform and she said she would, but she left the Humpty Lock at the party. (Cause she was in a hurry to see Ikuto!~) Her Charas get extremely pissed and yell at her.
Meanwhile, Ikuto is sitting on a telephone pole watching the chaos begin, when the guy who trapped Amu drives up. He get out of his car talking about how he successfully trapped Amu. Ikuto hops down in front of the guy and asks in a very angry and scary voice what the guy did to Amu.
Amu and her Charas are talking about Easter when Ikuto shatters the glass above them, jumps down and frees Amu. Amu is in awe a bit until Ikuto calls her stupid and then they begin their usual bantering. He says he couldn’t believe she got caught in that trap when it was so obvious. (I would have gotten caught too, if someone lured me out with Ikuto) She gets all mad at him and he says he was going to tell her something really interesting but he won’t now.
The Easter scientists are having a hard time controlling the floating X egg machines. The machines join together into a weird circle thing and heads toward the Guardians. The Easter guys freak out because they end up destroying the laptop that was supposed to control the machines. Yaya gets hit by the weird X egg attack and says she can’t go on anymore. (lol) Amu shows up and every chara-nari’s and they eventually bring down the X egg thing and Amu heals all the eggs.
Ikuto looks up at the sky and sees the embryo amongst all the healed eggs and quickly goes after it. Amu sees it too and gives us a nice “Ikuto!” before going for the embryo. As Amu is reaching toward the embryo, she thinks of all of her friends wishes and what her own would be. But then she looks up and sees Ikuto’s face and asks “What is Ikuto’s wish?” getting completely distracted.
The Director calls to bitch out the scientists and the guy gets so freaked out he hits a big red button that releases a missile from the helicopter they are in. The missile goes directly toward Amu and Ikuto and the explodes. Ikuto protects Amu from the missile, neglecting the embryo and getting injured. Ikuto and Amu begin to fall. Ikuto looks frustrated while Amu looks scared, and Ikuto holds her closer. (KYAA~!!) Tadase uses holy crown to break their fall and then he catches Amu. Ikuto lands near by and Tadase says he that Ikuto won’t get his hands on anything. (I.E. Amu, the embryo…which I just don’t believe) Ikuto smirks and disappears.
The Guardians go to greet Amu and she says she’s sorry for not getting the embryo. They say it’s ok cause they’re just glad she’s safe. We then get a nice shot of Ikuto walking beneath the full moon and Yoru saying the didn’t get the embryo again. Ikuto says it’s ok, they’ll get it eventually.
Then it goes to the next day and we get flashes of all of the characters and how they’re doing. The First King rants about his usual story crap and everyone seems happy.
Opinions
This episode was about 10 times better than I expected it to be. That’s not saying much cause I wasn’t really expecting anything great…but then they gave us all that Amuto!
I think it’s ok that Amu doesn’t have wish of her own just yet. She has a happy life. But if I were in her place, I would really wish for Ikuto.
These two crack me up. It looks like a date to me! But neither of them look happy about it! ^.^
Ikuto seems thoroughly unimpressed with the mastermind behind Easter. But nothing impresses Ikuto except for Amu.
I just don’t get the meaning behind this random party, but Kukai was there! YAY KUKAI! No Kairi though…I mean, how could they not invite Kairi??
Aw…I want Rima-tan to get her happy family too! She deserves it. If it weren’t for Ikuto, I’d say Rima should get the embryo.
Amu seemed really happy when thinking about the date she had with Ikuto. I vote they go on another one, but Ikuto will be moving in soon anyways~!
I am absolutely positive that Amu is a number one concern for Ikuto now…his face says it all. Pretty sure Ikuto would brutally destroy anyone who hurt Amu!
I love the way Ikuto hides his concern by getting Amu all worked up…it’s just frickin’ cute.
I’m with Yaya…I would have done the same thing after getting attacked…with a cool line like…”I just can’t go on…” And then I’d take a nap. XD
I don’t think Amu would have been able to bring herself to take the embryo from Ikuto…
At least not while he was making such a desperately cute face…I would have just given it too him.
AWW…This was just such a good moment. It made my heart beat faster, to see how far Ikuto would go to save Amu.
And then he pulled her closer and she huggled into his chest…and I very nearly had a heart attack. I was squealing so loud…I don’t think I’ve ever been this fangirly.
Bleah…just Bleh. I was unimpressed with Tadase catching Amu because he made no real effort to actually save her. He doesn’t get to catch her and act like the hero. Amu didn’t really seem to impressed by it either…(Thank god) She got distracted by Ikuto quickly.
My main objection with this episode was the lack of Utau, Nadehiko and Kairi. And this was supposed to be the last one? I WANT UTAU IN THE LAST EPISODE!! GAH! Eru too!
Preview
Dia comes back next week, for the premiere of Shugo Chara -Doki! This episode doesn’t look great…more Chara-ness, but Eru will be there, so I’m content. Even if it is a pointless filler, I’ll be happy with Eru around! ^.^
This episode was far more cute and epic than I expected it to be! (Mainly because there was so much Ikuto!)
Summary
This episode begins with the Embryo flying around aimlessly (It seems to do that a lot) Su sees the embryo outside of a window in Amu’s house, while she is polishing the Humpty Lock. She gets a little surprised and says “Embryo-san?” (Because she’s just cute like that) Kiseki also sees the embryo, but it passes by fast that he thinks he mistook the moon for it.
The Guardians are in the Royal Garden the next day, with an immense pile of books on the table. Tadase explains that all of the books were research dropped off by Kairi. (Kairi!~I miss you!) Amu and Rima are a little surprised by the amount of research Kairi did, and expects them to read. The topic of the embryo comes up and Su tries to tell them that she saw it, but is interrupted by Yaya, who plays a prank on Kiseki.
Easter is up to their nonsense elsewhere, working on another project to get the embryo. The three idiot scientists from the last episode show their idiocy yet again. They shout “BANZAI” in early celebration of their product, but while they are busy being stupid the X eggs that they were working on begin to act up, and then sneak out of the building.
Ikuto is busy lazing on a hill with Yoru. Yoru sees the X eggs and tells Ikuto, who gets up. They see a shining egg amidst the X eggs and think it’s the Embryo. Ikuto is about to go after it, but then the Easter building explodes and in a moment of confusion the embryo slips away. Ikuto goes into the building that exploded and finds the three idiots there. Ikuto asks what the fuss was over and Stalker guy begins to explain, but Ikuto walks away while he’s in the middle of talking. Ikuto tells Yoru he’s noticed something interesting about the embryo, but doesn’t tell him.
Amu is busy reading through Kairi’s research and not understanding any of it. While she does that her Chara’s are plotting with the rest about the embryo. Kiseki explains that he thought he saw the embryo, but wasn’t sure. Su tries to tell them that she saw it, but gets interrupted again. Miki goes to tell Ran about what Kiseki saw, but Ran misunderstood and ended up thinking of a spider. Ran then tells Pepe and KusuKusu who believe that spider swallowed the embryo. Pepe hunts down Daichi to tell him about it, and then Daichi goes to Kukai asking if he knows where the spider is. Kukai was busy playing a video game and tells Daichi it’s in the demon’s castle.
Ikuto explains to Yoru about the embryo. Ikuto noticed that the embryo only seems to appear when there are a lot of other eggs around. Yoru gets excited and starts talking about it, but is stopped by Ikuto cause Sanjo’s-stalker guy shows up. Ikuto asks what he wants, and the guy says to have luch and show Ikuto the onigri he made. Yoru goes toward the onigri wanting to eat it but is stopped by Ikuto, who is suspicious. Ikuto rejects the request and the stalker guy pats Ikuto on the shoulder before leaving, planting a camera on him.
While Amu and the rest are in school, the Chara’s are plotting again. Daichi and Pepe take it upon themselves to explain about the spider. The Chara’s decide to go after it and begin imagining an RPG type world. They are all dressed up as different characters and begin to journey to the castle. They make it inside and begin searching for the spider that swallowed the embryo. (Daichi getting locked up along the way, Lol) The Chara’s make it to a door and Su accidentally hits a lever and releses one of those common rolling rocks. They escape the rock, find the spider and use a Chara attack to get the embryo. Of course, this was all just their plotting, it doesn’t quite turn out like that.
The Easter employee’s complain that it is boring to watch Ikuto cause all he ever does nap all the time. (~Nya!) Ikuto already discovered the camera and planted it on Yoru.
Later that night all of the Chara’s go out in search of the castle. Amu is still busy studying the research Kairi gave her, and goes to ask her Chara’s a question, only to realize they aren’t there. The Guardians meet up to find out that all of their Chara’s are gone. They were about to go look for them, but Su runs into the Guardians first. She was seperated from the rest of the group (but reunited with Inu-Chan!!) and she tells Amu that the Chara’s went in search of the castle that had the embryo.
The Chara’s mistake the Easter building for the castle. Miki and Daichi don’t want to go in cause it’s suspicious. Yoru shows up and asks what they’re up too but Kiseki won’t tell him, so Pepe does. The guys from Easter hear Pepe saying that they found the embryo and remember that she’s one of the Guardians Chara’s. They track the signal only to find out that it’s right outside of the building.
Su and Amu show up with the rest of the Guardians and Miki and Ran get in trouble with Amu. Kiseki explains what they’re up to, and the Guardians go inside the building. They don’t find anything inside but the Easter machine. Pepe and KusuKusu attack it, accidentally turning it on. They all take cover and then Miki figures out that it’s an X egg and tells Amu. Amu transforms into Amulet Clover. She and Tadase heal the egg. Ikuto shows up and asks what they are all doing inside of Easter’s building. They say that they didn’t know it belonged to Easter. The three idiots are heard coming down the stairs, so the Guardians make their escape. Amu turns back and looks at Ikuto with a look that says she really did want to leave him there, and he just smirks at her. (Hehe)
Easter Director guy shows up to see what happened. Ikuto says that he didn’t get the embryo, tosses the camera to the Director and leaves. The Director gets all pissed and talks about things I didn’t care enough to listen too.
Amu and her Chara’s are at home and talking about how they didn’t find the embryo. Su tells them about when she saw it, but no one believes her. >.<
Opinions
Sorry about the recent absence. I’ve been working a lot, and when I wasn’t working I was busy reading a ton of manga. (Really good one’s too. XD) But I’m back now!
Out of all of Amu’s Chara’s, I like Su best. She’s just too cute! Look at that cuteness! (Gah, I really love cute things.)
Ah, Ikuto! He’s sleeping again…and thinking about Amu. I don’t know why everytime I see him laying down, I just assume that he’s thinking about Amu. Lol.
Don’t worry Amu, I didn’t understand a word of what you were saying either!
Yoru was super frickin cute here, with the ear twitching. GOD, I just love Yoru. He is my favorite Chara, so damn cute!
No no no! This guy doesn’t get to touch Ikuto! There are thousands of fangirl who don’t get to touch him, so you don’t get to either! Ikuto is only allowed to be touched my Amu! XD
More lovely Ikuto! Almost all of the screencaps I took had Ikuto in them…Lol! I guess I care more about Ikuto and Amuto than the plot. (But only by a little)
Wait…She’s not going to do what I think she’s going to do….
*Head Desk* Yeah, she did it. XD
Tadase pisses me off, he really really does, but I just noticed how pretty his hair is.
I love the look on Ikuto’s face here, and the sound he made when Amu looked back at him! KYA! Snap, the fangirling leaked through…
Amu really looked like she didn’t want to leave Ikuto there. She should just take him home! (I would)
Director, you’re an asshole. Didn’t you get the memo?! Ikuto always PWNS assholes!
Su~! You are just too damn cute! And it doesn’t matter if they don’t believe you about the embryo, cause I do! XD
Preview
Next week looks EPIC! I mean it seriously epic!!
In my head, it looks like they set Ikuto and Amu up for one of those “accidental kiss scenes” that happens so often in anime. I’m not even going to get my hopes up about that though! It’s just what was going through my head at the time. Still, I just can’t wait for next week. (It’s been a while since I’ve been able to say that about Shugo Chara)
