Time for some more random ravings!
1. Though I think Kirche contributes more to the the romantic tension, Siesta is thus far my favorite lass in Zero no Tsukaima. Not for any deep reason – as a character she’s kind of boring. I just really like her name! As most of you know, it means “midday nap” in Spanish, and that happens to be one of my favorite things. Such a name projects a sense of peace, relaxation, and laziness, resulting in my natural graviation towards this character. On another note, I think the opening song is so generic, it should be featured in an episode of NHK.
2. Soooo, I finally got around to watching Innocent Venus, and I’d have to say that in the very sparse genre of badasses- protecting- pink-haired- girl-in- sci-fi-setting, it definitely trumps the rather lackluster Coyote Ragtime Show. At first I was surprised that Matthew was blogging both shows, but then it started to make sense. After all, as long as there is a smidgen of kawaii in the show, Matthew will be there.

3. Is it just me or is Hakuoro the only human in Utawarerumono? I’m assuming that all the scrub soldiers have their ears covered up by their helmets. Speaking of the Hakster, what does he call a bikini wax? A Rak Shine. Have a nice day.

The scrub soldiers indeed have animal ears. In episode 14, the officer Oboro killed plus a bunch of other wounded soldiers w/o ear flaps have animal ears.
Hakuoro, the only human? That may be somewhat spoilerish~
Though Urutorii and Kamyu have human *ears*.
>>Though Urutorii and Kamyu have human *ears*.
They have wings, which are even more prominent than any ears.

Haha, it would have been so awesome if they asked I’ve to do the ZnT songs as well. Then I’ll truly label ZnT as Shana 2.0.
Funny you should mention this topic about humans in Utawarerumono. I am preparing a long review post about the show and in it I mentioned this thing but I also included Benawi with Hakouro as his outer appearance also seems human. It really makes you start asking questions.
