Hello fellow Busou Shinki fans! This episode is mainly about Ann going on a date with Rihito, her Master. However, there is a nice little twist and a beautiful song sung by Ann awaiting you.

This episode was quite a strange, yet light-warming episode. Ann had her wish to date Rihito, her Master, come true with the help of a virus contained within a Shroom bottle. Remember kids! Don’t do drugs or take shrooms or you’ll always have a bad hit. Even if it is a good one it’ll always give you a negative side-effect.

The whole crazy Shinki antics started with Aines sneaking some highly suspicious Mushroom drug. However, Hina indirectly stopped her by sending Lene flying direct at her. Nice shot!

– Quick Opening Note: Noticed that the OP only had Ann’s Seiyuu singing which was nice. Might of been in the previous episodes and I haven’t noticed. Regardless, I did find it nice for that it referenced to itself for this episode’s setting.

Ann? Human sized? Bring in Athena from Busou Shinki – Moon Angel! She’s 100% human?! Reality HAX! (Yes, I know the virus put her in sleep-mode, giving her a dream she always wished for.)
Oh? Even though this is a dream (or she mysteriously did get a physical body), she knows who MaoChao and Howling are? I heard actual names and them being associated with a Master as if they were friends, or knew each other at the very least. Oh, and yes….Shinkis do fire actual rounds, and they obviously hurt like hell. How do I know? Battle Rondo OP, Moon Angel, and seeing scaled down weaponry.
Also amusing how Ann tried going through the little door instead of trying to kick the big door. Shy Ann is shy….and highly innocent…just like an Angel. Oh? A subtle reference made by 8-Bit studio heh. She wouldn’t be an Angel if she didn’t knock down the door.
– Insert Ann’s beautifully sung track playing during Ann’s recovery moment & Rihito’s urgency to heal Ann in her Shinki body. –
– Deja Vu moment – Same as the beginning but this time Ann knows what Aines is carrying….This implying Hina, Aines, and Lene had parts of their memories affected as a side-effect of the shroom-drug?….This episode…..
Well……I like this episode but it was just “out there”. Nice romantic fun for those always dreaming what it would be like to date a Shinki. However, seems like someone who wrote the script for the show had a hit themselves for for how random this one was. I still like this episode and it wasn’t all that hard for me to watch, luckily. I want that Ann track but in a full 5 min length or so when Rihito rushed to get her Shinki self cured.

– Preview:
Off to a Shinki version of Egypt to uncover riches and fame! I actually do enjoy seeing what Shinkis make and entertain themselves in their own universe. Happy little kids creating numerous things while seriously fighting when their masters want them to. Fun fun!
Looks like the Fencing Type Shinki variants will be appearing.
Thanks for reading and hope to see you for episode 09! Off to adventure!
