Angelic Layer Episode 17!
I’ve already watched this series plenty of times, so there will be no surprises for me, but this will be my first time reviewing the whole series episode by episode. And I’m sure there will be some fine details that I’ve forgotten or never noticed in the first place. It has been a few years since I’ve seen this anime, so maybe it will be a little different from what I remember.
A quick run down of the series. This is a slightly futuristic anime by Clamp, the creators of Card Captor Sakura, XXXHolic, and Magic Knight Ray Earth. The story begins with a country bumpkin moving to the big city to go to middle school. The main character sees a robot fight on TV and immediately becomes a fan and buys her own robot to join the battle competitions too. So, this is a fighting robot anime like Metabots or Gundam Build Fighters, only with a Clamp flare.
Lasts Time on Angelic Layer!
This episode was kind of a filler, but still lots of fun. Misaki is having a victory party with her friends and finds out that in the national competition, the fighters can have a second that helps with repairs and advice. Hatoko assumes that Miksaki will naturally choose her, but once the party starts rolling and all Misaki’s friends start volunteering, who’s going to be chosen becomes a lot less clear. I felt a little sorry for Hatoko, but I also felt like she could use a little taste of humble pie. Plenty of fun and party shenanigans ensue and someone’s hamster gets lost, but in the end Misaki chooses Hatoko. Misaki’s mom stops by at the party but is too nervous to actually talk to her daughter, so Misaki never knows.
Episode 17!
The episode started out showing Misaki’s mom Shuko busy at work training for the nationals with her Angel Athena. One of the researchers comes into the lab where Shuko is practicing and tells her that it’s late and Shuko should try to get some rest. Shuko points out that it’s the lady researcher’s son’s birthday and she should head home. The researcher is reluctant because she’s supposed to stay with Shuko, but Shuko insists and points out that she should hurry home, she’s the boy’s mom after all. The researcher finally relents and heads home, making Shuko to promise that she will rest and stop training in an hour.
I don’t know, I feel like this scene seemed kind of hypocritical of Shuko. I mean, she abandoned her daughter for years, and not a couple years but like seven of them, but she’s nagging someone to hurry home to their son’s birthday? She seems like the last person that should talk.
In the next scene, it’s the nationals competition! Misaki is with her friends and they are all excited to be there. They can see in the crowd that all the competitors that they know from the regional games are there along with some new faces too. Just before the first match is supposed to kick off, all the fighters come up on stage to the cheering of the crowds. The audience is huge. In the crowd Tamayo teases Kotaro that Misaki will be all alone and nervous and the only one there to comfort her is the handsome and famous Angelic Layer champ Ojiro. Kotaro doesn’t look happy about it, but he understands that Misaki is going to need help from competitors that are more experienced.
Much like Tamayo’s prediction, as Misaki is waiting to enter the arena and getting nervous, Ojiro finds her in the crowd and holds her hand until she’s not scared any more. It’s very sweet, though the moment isn’t long and Hatoko quickly shows up to be Misaki’s second and help her through the opening ceremony.
The opening ceremony ended up being a little delayed because Misaki’s mom didn’t keep her promise and instead of only practicing for a little while, she practiced the whole night long and slept through when she was supposed to start the ceremony! Thankfully she woke up just in time to make it and the games began!
The first match was with Sai and an unnamed pink Angel. Sai of course won, but how she won was really interesting. Katie was her second and she showed Sai how to make her Angel go Hyper Mode! So now we have two Angels that can go Hyper. I think this is going to make the competitions very exciting.

The Surprising World of Japanese Sweet Potatoes

Do You Ride the Royal Road?
I recently release my first novel on Royal Road (it’s already been published on Wattpad and Tapas for about a year) and after some investigating, I found that there are quite a few anime-esque novels on Royal Road. Considering that my novels are greatly inspired by anime, I thought it would be a good fit.
If you’re not familiar with Royal Road, it’s a website with a vast library of free web novels to read, and a big community of authors to support. Royal Road has a lot of isekai, transmigrator, and leveling up shounen battle type novels. But there are also traditional fantasy and sci-fi novels too.
And all this Royal Road tripping has got me to wondering, do other anime fans and Otakus read on Royal Road?
So here’s a poll!
And another poll!
If there’s another web novel website that you really love, but it’s not mentioned above, please let me know about it in the comments below!
