Watch Along: Marmalade Boy, Ep. 2 (DUB)

Well, here we go again! Jumping right in~! Spoilers ahoy!

---

• The pure 90s of the opening still has me going.
• Why can’t I have a tennis outft like that?
• What does “ichiban” mean?”
• OMG, that’s right, HE KISSED HER.
• These titles remind me of the formatting for Pokemon Indigo League.
• Again, WHO DESIGNED THOSE UNIFORMS??
  Such bright colors, omggggg~~~
• Apparently he’s like an angel baby.
• Aw. He waited for her.
• Stop making it so obvious, girl.
• There’s the title! “It looks sweet, but the rind inside makes it kinda bitter, ya know?” Clearly that’s a prediction if I ever heard one.
• AND THERE SHE SAYS IT!
• “Huh??” lol
• “You’re just a spicy hot mustard girl.” ROFL X”’D
• The girl with the blue hair and lime green uniform is just… such clash.
• I mean, he did kiss her in her sleep.
• Crap (pardon my French), she’s falling in love.
• Such a love triangle.
• “I really don’t, you know.” Aww. Such pout.
• Forget it? Good luck with that.
• Why do 90s anime girls always eat when they’re upset?? I mean, I know it’s a thing that some people do, but it’s almost become a trope of the decade at this point.
• Blue hair, brown eyebrows, blue suit guy = clash
• Someone, somewhere: “OH, great idea for the campus TV news program! Let’s interview that hot boy everyone’s talking about and interrogate him about his love life!” Everyone else in the room: “Yes, yes, that is a perfect plan. Good.”
• IT’S 90s GLASSES TEACHER MAN. I AM IRRATIONALLY EXCITED.
• Oh, my gosh. LET’S LABEL MIKI.
• I can’t even look at the screen right now as she steals the mic. Too much cringe.
• Is no one watching/hearing them be argumentative?
• Do the teachers let this go on???
• It seems brown haired boy might create a problem. Geeta? Geenta. Ginta. There we go.
• Miki. OOOOOOh… she was turned down. This is getting so juicy.
• OMG, YES HE CAN.
• Awwww, the cheebs (yes, chibi, I know) are soooo~ cute!
• TWO YEARS? Well, I forget how time flows together in high school. Two years of romantic tension seems perfectly natural to me.
• Miki looks better with longer hair, I think.
• Yep, sounds like first high school love.
• Omgee, such young love.
• Now I want ice cream.
• Are we sure he didn’t like her?
  OMG, I know exactly what happened!
• Awww… poor kids. </3
• This is such high school. He liked her the whole time. So sad. I bet the dudes just found/took the note and Ginta was playing cool because he’s a stupid high school boy.
• …Hair cut… apology…?
• Now blondie is gonna be jealous too!! Misunderstandings abound.
• Does she know how she feels?
• WHO VOICES HER? …B-Barbie??
• *looking it up* Wait wait wait NOT BARBIE! Chichi!?
• Poor Miki.
• Used to it? *gasp* Oh no! lol
• Omg, rude much, Miki.
• Taking out your aggression on a tennis ball works.
• Again I say, cute outfit.
• He’s watching her.
• Sabatini–HE WAITED FOR HER!
• Aww…poor Miki’s mom.
• Such 90s jewelry.
• BUM BUM BUM…ex-girlfriend?

We all know I’m going to watch episode three asap. (Time to schedule a new post!)

This is simply too hilarious and surprisingly dramatic but not in that typical “slice-of-life way” because it’s actually realistic in comparison to my own high school experience (*cough cough* unlike Say I Love You *cough cough*) and also…it’s THE 90s.

I would honestly keep watching this show if only for the decade in which it is so obviously placed.

Tell me, how do you feel about Marmalade boy??

Later gaters!
