Man, this week’s episode really hit the spot. An adorable, pseudo-kiss scene between Amu and Ikuto, Metal Gear Ikuto, the first appearance of Amulet Angel in too long, cute Rima, Utau holding a concert with Heartful Song, pining after her brother in her typical obsessive way. Nifty new Utau concert outfit. What more do I need? This was the cutest, best directed episode of Shugo Chara in ages. Easily the best of Doki yet, though the art was somewhat off.

I hope Satelight goes back to more episodes in this vein and less meandering along a formulaic path, as they’ve been doing so far in Doki.

When are we getting the Mizuki Nana Heartful Song single already? She first sang it almost two months ago and the Black Diamond release wasn’t long after it appeared in the show…
