When Haruka appears in a contest a talent scout sees her and wants to make her a real idol, causing her to balance her time being an idol and working for Modenkind.

Impressions:

This episode was very interesting indeed. It seems as if some of the focus of the show has shifted a bit, but it’s still being really interesting. It’s not really so much about any conflict or really dealing with complex drop situations, yet is still really exciting and interesting. I didn’t think they would really even establish any of these problems, but since they are it is defiantly making things more interesting. For instance, Haruka being an idol is something I didn’t really think of. It’s not just for any fanservice of seeing her in the costumes but is really causing a lot of different situations that will likely need to be dealt with later on. It seems as if Imber is getting lonely and because she’s doing all this, other bad things will happen, which is a bit ironic because she started out with the mindset that this would help the very thing its hurting.

Yukiho seems like she will be playing a big part soon, if not just in the next episode. The new OP kind of had me wondering about her and at the end of the episode it pretty much showed the one scene that made me think something might be up with her. Shedding a tear about something, then the one creepy guy smiling almost evilly when seeing her file. I’m not sure if she’ll go away or anything, or even really why but it’s sure to be a topic. It’ll be interesting because ever sense Yukiho stopped being a candidate for a Master she hasn’t been very important, making her important now will be interesting just because she hasn’t’ had any impact, and giving her focus is sure to result in her having a big impact now.

I did find it very funny when there was a misunderstanding about Imber when Haruka was talking with Yayoi. It’s also really rather interesting to hear Imber being referred to as a guy. Although she ahs to say that to not let Yayoi in on any Modenkind secrets, its also interesting because its kind of become a bit of a metaphor for the situation and the relationship and I think it really means a lot more then its led on to. It’s interesting to think of any kind of romantic feelings that either party has in a relationship between a supposedly thinking machine with a soul and a human.
