Mahoraba ~Heartful Days~ Episode 12

It was beautiful over here for the past couple of days, but then it got really cold again.

::cries:: I want it to be summer!

The sun…
The beach…
The sand…
The water…
My girl in a bikini… (^_^)

Well, I guess that’s coming soon. In the meantime, let’s watch the cute characters of Mahoraba and they’re summer vacation antics.

A very fun episode. It looks like we’re introduced to two new characters… at least, I think they’re new. I don’t recall seeing them before. The first one would be the quiet Loli type that you know is up to some kind of evil. The second would be a dim-witted life guard who I thought was really cute and hilarious.

But once again, the true star of this episode is the Engrish, and it’s at the worse I’ve ever seen it in an anime. I gotta give the guys at Froth Bite credit for trying to make sense of it all. Check it out:

Engrish Fansub
[something] Get out! Get out the delux watermelon!
And wood braid! And the wooden blade
Okay, funny girl, come~ Okay, funny girl, come on!
Dilectsu set, on! Set up the deluxe watermelon!
Are you really ok? Are you ready, okay?
I must set! Set the blindfold!
Jet set! She’s set!

Ha ha ha ha ha… ob boy… And I think the “I must set!” line is the funniest because of the way she says it. It’s like, with such force and determination that she has to set.

But besides for that, I really enjoyed this episode. But does want me to end the semester and start summer right now.

  1. Scott..I wonder if “I must set” is supposed to be “Eye mask set!” ?

  2. Ooh, good call, Satashi. You’re right. But it defiantly sounds like “I must set!” if you’re not paying too much attention.
