The two younger sisters get animal costumes and can turn into a bunny and rabbit respectively.

Also, it seems characters have heart shaped stones in their eyes.

The elder sister(?) has two definite advantages over the other two.

[Suwako Moriya]

Ah, so the girl that Tange Sakura is playing is named Hatori Kanon. Hatori Kanon is a blond loli with an outfit that includes bat wings and shows off some of her chest. Is it just me or are they trying to attract a certain segment?

It's time for Nagisa to join Riko the cat and Rimu the bunny(?), by becoming a puppy. Funny how she becomes the same size as them when she gets the puppy costume. Although she does in a sense retain some of her chest.

Err I know animals don't wear clothes, but does the butt need to be that pronounced?:sweat:

It's good to know that finally even animals have the right to wear glasses.

I wonder if there's any chance of Hatori Kanon becoming an actual bat during the show. I guess it depends on whether or not, they want only the sisters to have transformation costumes.

[Suwako Moriya]

Apparently Kanon believes in wearing different stockings! Long stockings that include boots. She's got an interesting fashion sense.

Riko suddenly acts kitty like in the middle of a match. Yeah, these transformations are effecting their personalities.

One other advantage to Nagisa being older is that she's old enough to be in a different school. Which means a different cast for her to interact with.

A cat takes a liking to Riko. Seems like there's no escape from it.

Someone is a bad singer. Interesting how Kanon is the only one that doesn't cover her ears. She also seems to be paying attention. I wonder...

It's the return of the creepy cat.

Kanon is clearly the best girl in the series so far. Well, among the ones of her age anyway.

You know, I can already sense a love triangle developing.

Kanon's mother spies on her? Kanon's mother is either a villain or an overprotective parent. Ah, nice to see the bat outfit again.

Nagisa is into archery. Now, she's trying to scare away the cat by barking at it. Apparently the cat ends up scaring her. Then it walks away. Does that count as victory or defeat?

Someone save Riko from the cat!

Riko has a plan and it involves turning into her animal costume.

It's Ken to the rescue! Too bad that cat is dangerous. Also, I'm starting to hate that cat. Actually, I didn't care for it much earlier anyway.

Well, it looks like the stuff with the cat might have been resolved. The said cat is now chasing after someone else aka another cat.

Well, the preview more or less confirms that others will get animal forms. Ken(?) gets to be a rat (or maybe a mouse). Which means we can expect Kanon to get or already have a bat form.

[Suwako Moriya]

Kanon's mother is having a meeting with a bunch of people. People that aren't paying attention, it seems.

It looks like Kanon already has her bat form. Should have figured as much, but that confirms the animal thing isn't exclusive to the girls.

Ken and Tamao are talking about stuff related to the girls I think.

Kanon is walking around in that outfit with a parasol.

Ken and Tamao have decided to do some investigating. Which means having to sneak around the sisters' home.

Well, it didn't take them too long to find the animal stuff.

Ken has gained the mouse costume and has shrunk down accordingly.

Seems like Tamao is having a bit of trouble with getting a costume.

Go for sisters, defeat the intruders, then get back to doing sisterly things.

Well, since they found Ken as mouse, the sisters may as well transform.

Riko being a cat has an urge to chase Ken who is a mouse. Heh, I wonder if that means Nagisa will have an urge to chase Riko? Dog to Cat.

Ken has gone into complete mouse form and been kidnapped by a bird. Nagisa and Riko chase after him. At the same time Kanon notices and decides to be a bat.

Kanon is good at freeing Ken temporarily, but has a bit of trouble carrying him to safety.

Stuff happens and Ken is saved.

I'm going to take a wild guess that the guy they're watching in the computer screen is the turtle. Yeah, I'm sure of it.

Ken gets to learn about the lack of clothes part of de-transforming.

Let's end with a Kanon scene.

It's clear the series will probably focus mostly on being light hearted, but with Kanon's mother and a few other characters, they seem to be trying to add a darker element. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.

[Suwako Moriya]

So we have a cat that escapes out of an open window and a girl from the school of Riko is the owner.

It's time for Riko and Rumi to come up with a plan to find the cat. Obviously, this involves transforming.

They've found two birds and it seems Riko is interested in them. I get the feeling slowly, but surely she'll become more cat like.

Ken is spending some time with Kanon.

After running from a dog, Rumi and Riko continue their search. They seem to be running into multiple problems.

Yay, Nagisa the sexy one has appeared.

Riko vs a large white cat.

Skipping the stuff with Kanon's mother and the group.

Nagisa has joined them in transforming.

Seems like the sisters ended up around the same area as the Kanon, the boys, Kanon's mother, and the rest.

So when Riko requests Ken's help, he refuses. Nagisa requests help and he's more than happy to.

Ken has found the cat, but due expected problems they lose it.

Kanon's bat form seems to retain more human features than the other ones. Although I have yet to see her wearing acostume. Unless that bat outfit is it.

More searching being done by the girls and more stuff with the group.

It's starting to seem like Riko is being effected more than the other two by her animal form.

The cat has been found and returned to its owner.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm half-expecting things to get a bit darker later.

[Suwako Moriya]

I think the opening is part of the reason I watch this. Simple, but catchy.

Nagisa seems to spend plenty of time in library.

Riko and Rumi catch Nagisa talking to some guy. Ie the guy that was with Kanon in the first episode.

And now the two of them are listening in on things.

Two people get ready to kiss and then the one with the strange ears decides to clean up the other one. Heh, I guess that romance didn't last long.

Kanon's mother has one of the blatant "I'm evil" looks I've seen in awhile.

You know if all the people Kanon's mother surrounds herself with can turn into animals and if they're really villains then the girls are going to be outnumbered.

Riko drags Rumi around.

Nagisa having a crush on that guy is likely to complicate things eventually.

The sister spend quality time with that guy doing festival related things.

And now Rumi is seeing him as a Knight in shining armor?

Poor Kanon has to deal with others just being silly....

Ken is advertising for some stand now.

They're at a shooting game and the guy reacts to the gun. Must have had a hunting related trauma. I suspect these are actual animals turned into humans as opposed to humans becoming animals. Never mind the fact humans are animals anyway...

It looks like the group that's with Kanon's mother has met someone scary.

Nagisa and the guy have a talk.

The scary woman transforms into a bull (?)

The guy with Nagisa seems to notice this and runs off to deal with it.

Ok, now the thing is just running around everywhere.

Nagisa, I'm not sure putting on your dog costume is going to help much.

Kanon is clinging to Ken.

Does that scary lady turned into whatever have a goal besides running around.

Rimu and Riko are rescued by Nagisa.

The sisters watch as the guy confronts the creature and with a command gets it to stop.

Nagisa helps deal with the guy's injury that he got earlier. You know the two will either get together or some tragedy will happen.

[Suwako Moriya]

It seems like we're going to be having multiple episodes dealing with animals err humans err animals running wild a bit.

[Suwako Moriya]

Ah, so apparently Pulse is a wolf? Well, that answers that question.

[Suwako Moriya]

In this episode, we deal with a snake. Ken gets a chance to be heroic.

I wonder if Tamao will ever transform. I guess he has to eventually given the opening...

[Suwako Moriya]

Ken is being silly and annoying people.

Kanon however is charmed.

I think Kanon is jealous of Riko. Yes, she clearly is.

The sisters have an awesome mother

Kanon is being educational.

So Kanon's idea of the "He'll fall in love me with me" imagination scene also includes her biting Ken and him becoming a bat as well.

Kanon tries her best and other things happen in the episode.

[Suwako Moriya]

Yet another meeting of the Animalians (?) that Kanon is a part of.

Kanon shows pictures of the sisters in their costumes.

Riko looks great with her hair down.

I sense some Christmas going on.

Nagisa, I'm so glad one of you is older.

Kanon is Christmas version of her outfit.

Nagisa, the boy she likes, and daddy.

Kanon has come to visit the sisters along with the Ken and Tamao.

Riko's crawling around. For some reasons girls crawling around leads to certain thoughts.

I wonder. If Riko's hair were to spin could they turn into drills?

Riko seems to be quite nervous.

I love Kanon's outfit for some reason.

More of Nagisa, the boy she likes and Daddy.

People outside seem to be doing suspicious stuff.

Power is shut off.

Kanon seems to be up to something.

Now Kanon is going around in bat form or well she was. I guess she's looking for something.

Kanon finds Riko's transformation item. Riko takes it back in an instant before Kanon can do anything with it.

(Darn it, the chaneel lost the audio, I hope it fixes before today's Fairy Tail )

Kanon returns to mommy to talk about things.


It looks more and more like the story will eventually involve into a point where the sisters are either seen as a threat or the key to everything. Or maybe both depending on how you look at it. Random theory of mine.

[Suwako Moriya]

I sense that Riko is cold.

Rimu has got a cutesy camera.

They discover a sick or maybe injured animal.

Random people copying some movie star pose?

Time to help out another creature. Which results in poor Riko being suck.

Well, transforming is one way of escaping.

Apparently people are looking for the same animal that the sisters found earlier.

We need more of Nagisa in dog girl form.

I guess they want Nagisa to follow a scent and track something.

Looks like we're getting a multi-part story.

[Suwako Moriya]

Someone spends way too much time being stuck in a rock.

Heh, I like the way their teacher looked in the episode.

It's probably good for them that their mother is familiar with the whole transformation thing.

Kanon's mother and the mother of the sisters notice each other. I sense epic foreshadowing regarding those two.

The fact that Nagisa is only in Middle School gives great hope for her future in both regards.

[Suwako Moriya]

The girls get involved with a boy and his dog. Yeah, sometimes I don't feel like summarizing.

[Suwako Moriya]

Heh, it seems the girls are now searching for a cat or whatever the heck that thing is. Ken is along for the ride.

Ken is not willing to listen to Riko, but when it comes to Nagisa, he will. Gee, I wonder why.

Riko in cat form gets to visit an old lady that appeared earlier in the episode. Nothing like another form to allow for development.

I'm going to spend the rest of the series wondering if their mother has some sort of animal form.

Regardless, I just like the fact the mother has some involvement in the whole "magical" aspect for once instead of being completely ignorant.

Nagisa smells a cat and has maybe learned something.

Also, it seems like Ken has a plan. Watch it fall apart somehow. Not only does it fall apart, his hat gets stolen. Ken will get revenge by becoming a mouse. Err that's not the best plan.

I get the feeling that Dog is a thief.

They've definitely gotten a lot better at switching between the three forms.

I sense some form of jealousy between animals involved in this episode.

It looks like things have worked out in the end.

[Suwako Moriya]

Tamao is in a chicken suit. That's a way to start off the episode.

The five are gathered together. Would be nice if they could provide some of the other students with costumes. Mainly female ones because females are more important to me.

Tamao is depressed, I guess it's related to his his in ability to get an actual costume.

Riko has been defeated by spider web.

Ken gets thrown away.

I'm waiting for their mother to reveal some special secret.

Seems like Tamao has a plan.

Showing off transformations is awlaays important.

Nagisa will always be nervous around that guy.

Tamao practicing being a chicken. Not sure how well this is actually going to work, but the others discover him doing it.

Well so much for Tamao being able to transform for real.

Been awhile since they reminded us of Kanon's mother.

[Suwako Moriya]

Ah, one of those dangerous situation episodes, I guess. Not much else to say right now, I'm mainly just trying to keep the sub threads properly structured.

[Suwako Moriya]

Kanon decides to wear an err interesting outfit this time. It even includes a mask. It makes her look like a villain!

So like a villain she makes an attempt to take something from the home of the sisters.

I'm not sure why, but suddenly I want an epic battle with the sisters vs Kanon. With part of it in animal form.

I wonder if Kanon's mother will be like a final boss or if there will be some plot twist.

As cutesy as this series has been, it still feels like it's eventually going to get slightly darker. Maybe, I'm reading too much into the Kanon side of things.

[Suwako Moriya]

Yes, starting off with Nagisa is the right idea. Her friend decides to leave Nagisa alone once Pulse comes near.

Ken and Tamao get to eat good food. Then a cranky kid comes in and tells us he's cranky.

The father is cooking dinner and the younger sisters are at home.

Pulse and Nagisa are walking together still and there's plenty of talking.

Poor Nagisa, her father is stealing the attention of Pulse.

Akane (?) is quite cute. There needs to be more focus on her.

Part of me wishes more characters would gain animal forms, but then that would effect the specialness of it.

It's animal costume time.

I should note that cranky kid seemed to be taking care of some dog.

We've had dog and cat episodes, but have we had much in the way of rabbits?

Nagisa concentrates. Nagisa transform into her dog form. Wait, she looks a bit different this time around. I wonder what's up with that.

Riko might have been a bit too impulsive. She runs into the dog and it was her to follow it.

Akane, you and your awesome hair haven't appeared enough.

Ah, so the dog was leading her to rescue the kid.

Ken, it's nice that you got dressed fast, but the outfit is questionable.

Pulse has come to the rescue.

Well, I guess every ended well for the most part.

*Watches previews* I guess we may be getting a rabbit episode next time.

[Suwako Moriya]

We have our rabbit episode.

We have some boy that seems to interest Rimu.

It's time Rimu's turn to get a different bunny form.

I'm going to guess that Riko is next.

Kanon, your outfits are a bit bold.
