Jubei-chan 2 Review
I’m a little slow on the review of this series, since the April releases have been eating up my time. Anyway, Jubei-chan 2 is pretty enjoyable, but probably not a series for everyone. Especially at the beginning, I really felt like I would have benefitted greatly if I had watched the first season; the humor [...]
Jubei-chan 2: Siberia Yagyuu no Gyakushuu 13 (Final)
Things finally come to a head as Felicia and Jiyuu are forced to team up against the enemy that has been hidden for 11 episodes. Just joining forces is not enough, however, and they are forced to join bodies and form one uber-Jubei. Uber-Jubei mostly just looks like Felicia with an earring and big pigtails. [...]

Jubei-chan 2: Siberia Yagyuu no Gyakushuu 10
Ever since Papa slapped her, Jiyuu hasn’t been acting like herself. She seems to have some sort of memory loss, and continues to sing a song from Totoro. Mikage finally finds her way out of the forest and tells everyone that it is her job to prepare Jiyuu for a showdown of some sort. She [...]

Jubei-chan 2: Siberia Yagyuu no Gyakushuu 09
More drama and flashbacks again, as Kita reflects on the first time he met the real Yagyuu Jubei. I guess he and Koinosuke knew each other (and Koinosuke was a terrible swordsman!), and he also seems to have a one-eye-closed thing going on. I found it interesting to see some more of the buildup between [...]

Jubei-chan 2: Siberia Yagyuu no Gyakushuu 08
There was essentially no action this time, as most of the episode was devoted to character development. Back at home, Sai is very depressed since Jiyuu has not returned; meanwhile, Felicia’s attempts to corrupt Sai have been unsuccessful, and she is even finding it hard to hate Jiyuu. I guess for all their strengths, cute [...]

Jubei-chan 2: Siberia Yagyuu no Gyakushuu 07
Finally, some light is shed on the nature of the lovely eyepatch. The user’s intentions are reflected in the type of eyepatch they use, and it seems that in her current state, Felicia will never be able to claim the heart eyepatch. Naturally, Felicia is too blinded with rage to see this, and takes out [...]

Jubei-chan 2: Siberia Yagyuu no Gyakushuu 06
Jiyuu is having a bad day as she discovers that her father is still ghostwriting instead of working on the fluffy teen romance novel she requested. Meanwhile, we get a glimpse into Felicia’s past, which is completely awesome. In addition to sequences showing chibi-Felicia fighting with a stick, we also learn that Felicia was raised [...]

I Surrender!
Due to incessant ranting and raving from Kabitzin about Jubei-chan 2, I’ve finally started watching it. I’ve seen the entire first series, and while it was fun and amusing, it wasn’t particularly outstanding (though it did feature some kickin’ Vanessa Mae-style violin music). Thankfully, the sequel series is much improved in all areas (and swapped [...]
