Gakuen Alice Episode 2 - Welcome to Alice Academy

Mood: excited
Music: Public Announcement's Lonely, Dreamsound 2

The “black cat” turns out to be a student, Natsume, whose Alice is that of fire. Narumi is well prepared for this, however, and stops Natsume from escaping before allowing Mikan into the Alice Academy as a trial student, believing she does possess an Alice after all. After Mikan has another, embarassing run-in with Natsume, she finally gets to meet up with Hotaru again - however, Mikan is far happier about this than Hotaru, whose frosty nature extends to leaving Mikan stranded when she clashes with Natsume once more in class.

My memory’s a bit foggy on this one I’m afraid, it’s been two weeks since I watched it after all. Anyway, Gakuen Alice has the distinction of being a comedy that makes me actually laugh, which is an excellent thing indeed, and Mikan’s terminal hyperactivity is hysterically funny at times, especially contrasted with Hotaru’s deadpan cynicism. I don’t really have much else constructive to add, unfortunately, but then again I don’t suppose I ever do…
