Comments on: Idolmaster Xenoglossia - 17 http://xebek.animeblogger.net/2007/08/26/idolmaster-xenoglossia-17/ Useless ramblings of an insane maniac Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:36:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.3 By: Josh http://xebek.animeblogger.net/2007/08/26/idolmaster-xenoglossia-17/#comment-40723 Josh Sun, 26 Aug 2007 21:01:43 +0000 http://xebek.animeblogger.net/2007/08/26/idolmaster-xenoglossia-17/#comment-40723 I suspected the creepy guy to be a spy (though, as you'll soon see, that isn't necessarily wrong either). As for Yukiho being the spy, I never picked up on it either, though I had read things elsewhere where OTHER people thought she might be, and I was just like "well, we'll see about that." Maybe I should pay more attention to things in the opening credits, but I usually don't see them as prophesizing, just because I've seen enough that look like they are but ending up not doing so. I'm sure this will be a series where, once I'm done and look back, I'll be like "oh yeah! oh yeah! Oh yeah, that's suspicious now!" when when I saw it the first time through it was like "whatever." Heck, if anything it increases it's rewatch value. I always love series where you don't pick everything up on the first time through.

And I loved the new OP with all the new shots and the song isn't too bad. As Digikerot was saying this is the point where it just goes up and up no turning back. Its the point where all the "character development" episodes pay-off. (I seriously enjoyed most of the episodes running from 1-16, maybe its the Hime franchise influence or the knowing something will go wrong in later episodes thinking, I mean its sunrise!) This show needs more loving really, people are missing out. Ya this is where it gets really good. And I loved the new OP with all the new shots and the song isn’t too bad.

Is it really, REALLY that surprising that Yukiho was a spy? They've pretty much been dropping hints since the very start of the series, and they've just been getting more and more obvious as they've been going along. I mean, it really struck me as odd back in the first episode where Chihaya was specifically looking for Haruka, and Iori was only sent out to fetch Haruka - no one seemed to care about Yukiho. In the first OP sequence, the shot with Haruka and Yukiho standing back-to-back with the iDOL eyes lit up has Yukiho standing with Nubliums eye. There was that episode where we saw Yukiho go out at night. Back in Episode 13, when Asuza told Makoto she was dropped we saw a silhouettes of what as clearly Yukiho appear from behind Imber, only for Makoto to turn up at Turiavita shortly afterwards. If there was any doubt left, I kind of thought the second OP was kind of heavy-handed with it... Also, Yukiho is just Erstin Ho with a different haircut :P Seriously, though, by the time we reached this episode, I was kind of glad that they'd eventually stopped procrastinating over something I'd thought was kind of obvious for quite a number of episodes before hand ^^; Oh, and if you like this episode, you are going to love the next few. This show is on a major roll now. Eh? Is it really, REALLY that surprising that Yukiho was a spy?
