Show By Rock!! Short!! Episode 2: Putting Our Crimson Flame into a White Ball… (etc.)

I know I missed a big reference.

Damn, Show By Rock back at it again with the best boys. Without a doubt it’s Crow.

Okay yeah this anime is going to have to be blogged about biweekly. Actually, now I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth to blog at all. It’s so fast and short and so little happens. It’s still fun to watch, but there isn’t much to talk about. Literally, it was all a very heated ping pong match. The Crimson boys are all at a hot spring/spa place and Crow finds out that the place has a ping pong table. As per tradition in a hot spring episode, they all decide to play each other in ping pong. Rom and Yaiba are one team, and Crow and Aion are another. But Aion is too busy posing so Crow does all the work himself. It just turns into a very heated match with the guys pulling out some very violent names for their ping pong attacks and they eventually destroy the table, and the ball looks like it’s going to hit the ground until it bounces off of Aion’s paddle. The whole time he was literally posing and didn’t do anything, so that was pretty funny.

Again I even wonder if I should bother reviewing this show. But at least this gives me the opportunity to talk about how much I love the characters without letting that get in the way of plot because there isn’t any. As expected, these series of shorts are just going to be random episodic ones that’ll focus on different characters. Last week we got Plasmagica, this time we got the Crimson boys, next week might be Trichronika or Tsurezure. Or maybe Plasmagica again, who knows.

An entertaining short, I love Crimson so I liked this one. Probably why I’m so happy to watch this short series is because we get to see the characters normally. No big villain or anything, just seeing them all doing things in their leisure. 🙂 Okay, I’ll be back in a couple weeks and continue biweekly. Hehe, I don’t like leaving my reviews so short.
