Mazui - Episode 04
------------------------------------
-Ryoushi's rock must have carried a crazy (read: unrealistic) amount of momentum to pull that off.
-The way things turned out, you have to wonder if it's what Ringo had in mind the entire time. She did hint that Ryoushi will get to see Ryouko as a maid after all.
-And her purpose in this story (since I asked last time)? Manipulating Ryouko.
-Lizst may have trolled us last time by cross-dressing as the Mysterious Beauty, but I'm willing to bet that the true Mysterious Beauty is Majo. She's almost completely unrecognisable, and I seriously wonder how the Lizst would have gotten past last year's bathing suit round anyway.
-I really like the OP. You simply can't feel depressed listening to it.

If you weren't familiar with what fable this episode takes after (I was not), it is Tsuru no Ongaeshi.
The similarities are pretty obvious once you know which one it is. Much more so than previous episodes like the twisted Tortoise and Hare race to the bottom, the S&M Cinderella (episode 1), and whatever episode 2 was supposed to be.
I also love the OP, it is so upbeat. The more series May'n gets to sing for, the better.
After starting to get used to Kuroko's narration I can even begin to enjoy the really nice atmosphere where everybody is more or less pushing Ryoushi and Ryouko together, much to Ryouko's (superficial) dismay, of course.
Kuroko's Narration is awesome.
"Mukashi mukashi....."

Lolwut? .When otohime-san extracts his essences, Urashima-san becomes a true gentelman!

That is indeed what Kuroko said.
Peace.
Ryoushi isn't yet quite far enough for Ryouko to extract his essences, but based on this episode, he's slowly getting there.
The other school was a strange place.
I think he is already neck deep but just doesn't know it yet.
Peace.
I find it somewhat refreshing that Ryouko and Ryoushi already both have a mutual crush (less so in her case) on each other, and that everyone knows it and tries to push them closer together. Often for their own amusement.
His lines are pretty manly too, usually those are the sort of things that are said near the climax episodes.
The way they abused the Momotarou story was well done. Especially with the millet dumplings. That was a rather clever way to make Momotarou into a Momohime.
I really like how early the wolf has shown honesty. I was worried Ryoushi was going to get abused until the last parts of this series. It's great that his efforts are bearing fruit so early.
I also like how they keep hiding his eyes/eye even if he doesn't have an eye power. Makes him look different.
Peace.
The other school's president resembles a wolf the most. Ryouko pales in comparison.
I brings out the effect that he doesn't look us in the eye (because we can't see his).

Next episode spoiler:
- Ryoushi reveals his sharingan :O
Hahahaha, they always loop the best scenes in that little ending part.
I thought Ryoushi was going to ask Ryouko to train him up or something, but hey, that works too.
I enjoyed the yet another twist on fairy tales; this time being Little Red Riding Hood discovering a girl in wolf's clothing (as opposed to a wolf in grandmother's clothing). While not relating to any fairy tales I know of, Ryoushi was pretty much playing the hunter part 100% by observing his surroundings, stalking his prey and finding out its weakness (only for him to fall in love with it).
The biggest appeal spike was Ringo though. She's pretty cute all round, and I can completely come to terms with her "smiling to hide what I'm really thinking" mentality. It's the best way of apparently acknowledging someone or something without actually doing so.

Everyone does what Ringo accuses herself of most of the time. At least she knows it.
I found it hilarious how informal and cool sounding Ryoushi is on the phone. It seems that he does not speak in keigo if no one is looking at him. All the "-su" suffixes in his sentences make him sound like a nerd in face to face conversations.
Peace.
Ryoushi's stalking skills are Hokage level
