Jones-Fiori family tree! Third version, and I hope the last one lol. Open in new tab for better view or check it in my deviantART with longer description! 

Now, under the cut, about the members, from left to right, and up to down:

Angela Fiori (C.V: Yoshiko Sakakibara / V.A: Mary Elizabeth McGlynn) Melissa's grandmother was a very kind woman that Melissa loved with all her heart. When she died at the beggining of 1914, Melissa was totally devastated, and when she returned back to Central and found out that Hughes also had died, only worsened her mental state. Melissa's first daughter is named after her. Alex was who decided it because he knows how much she loved her. Evelyn Jones (C.V: Ayumi Tsunematsu / V.A: Kari Wahlgren) Evelyn, just like her son, is a very warm and friendly person who always cares about others. She was like a mother figure for Melissa, and was an important support for her, especially during her first pregnancy while her mother Beatrice was distancing herself from her. Evelyn gives her, the day of her wedding, a little heart-shaped pendant, that Melissa wears it in a cord in her wrist since that day. Jonathan Jones (C.V: Kazuhiko Inoue / V.A: Illich Guardiola) Jonathan is a verious serious man yet a very warm person. For him, the most important thing in life is his family. He welcomed Melissa to his family when she married Alex, and loved her as his own daughter.

Gabriele Fiori (C.V: Yoshimasa Hosoya / V.A: Richard Epcar) Melissa's father is one of the most important people in her life. He is a very quiet person who rarely shows his emotions but he loves her daughter so much. Melissa is also quiet so she understands him. Besides, Gabrielle also supported her when she though about joining the military. When his mother Angela died, he fell into depression and Melissa tried to make him feel better. Beatrice Fiori (C.V: Sayaka Ohara / V.A: Ellyn Stern) Melissa's mother is a very stric and stoic woman just as Melissa herself. But unlike her, Beatrice is a very traditional woman; something that ruined her relationship with her daughter. First, she didn't support her at all when Melissa decided joining the military because she thought that a woman shouldn't be in a job like that, so she distanced herself from her daughter. Not only that, but also she didn't like so much the idea of Melissa marrying Alex; something that Melissa wouldn't forgive. Lionetta Breuer (C.V: Hitomi Nabatame / V.A: Erica Lindbeck ) Lionetta is Beatrice's sister. She lived in Central and needed help in her store, so she asked her sister if she could. So, in 1889, Beatrice and Gabriele moved to Central and started living there with her, too. Arabelle Jones (C.V: Miki Itō / V.A: Mela Lee) Alex' older sister met Meli when they were children and became friends. Arabelle is a very supportive person, so when Melissa started dating Alex, she welcomed Melissa to her family without even thinking. She was very happy since she always appreacited her a lot, besides she knew about Alex' crush for her since forever. She has a relationship with Lucy Carter (miss-mary-grace 's OC) whose character can totally handle since she has some similarities with Melissa. Alexander Jones (C.V: Yūichi Nakamura / V.A: David Matranga) Alex is a very kind and warm person. Basically the definition of cinnamon roll. Alex met Melissa when they were children in Central and inmediately became friends. Alex was in love with Melissa since they were kids, something that everyone noticed, except Melissa. He was key when Melissa's grandmother and her friend Hughes died, supporting her in everything he could. After the Promised Day, he confessed to her. Months after that, they got married and had their first daughter. Melissa Fiori (C.V: Yōko Hikasa / V.A: Elizabeth Maxwell) Melissa's desire of protect people made her join the military. At first, she worked like secretary principally and did a lot of paperwork for the Major Maes Hughes with whom he became friends due to his easy going personality. She was working under him for a year and was promoted to corporal because of her skills. Since then she worked in the investigation department and is promoted to sergeant major with 24 years. After the Promised Day, Melissa decided to leave the military. She knows for Hughes' death how dangerous their work is and she can't accept that one day the pain that Gracia and Elicia are going through could happen to Alex. Since then, she became an employee in Evelyn's florist shop. Fiorella Fiori (C.V: Rie Takahashi / V.A: Colleen O'Shaughnessey) When Fiorella was born, Melissa looked after her a lot because she thought that as an older sister she had to be like a second mother for her. When they grew up, they still have a very good relationship even thought they were distanced due to Melissa's tense situation with her mother. Fiorella usually tries to reunite her mother and her sister so they can talk and  forgive each other. Angela Jones (C.V: Mariya Ise / V.A: Kelly Sheridan) The first daughter of Melissa and Alex is a hurricane. She's very spontaneous yet responsible. Both Melissa and her have strong tempers so sometimes they argue and Alex has to mediate between them. Thank to her love for music she could meet Vanessa Elric's (novanoah 's OC) beautiful voice and develop a crush on her. When they are older, they started dating. Samantha Jones (C.V: Chiwa Saitō / V.A: Kate Bristol) The second daughter of Melissa and Alex is a very shy child. She has a hard time interacting with others, and is very family oriented since with her relatives she feels more safe. Her most precious possesion is a little rabbit keychain Jansen bought her for for apologizing when he broke her favorite plushie.

Jansen Jones (CV: Nobunaga Shimazaki / V.A: Josh Grelle) The only son of Melissa and Alex is totally opposite character-wise of his twin sister. Jansen is a prankster and is proud himself of how he is. Jansen dream is becoming a famous soccer player, but at the moment he has to deal with her archenemy: mathematics, with Leonard Fuery's (his boyfriend math tutor) help.

Movies- Sakurada Reset

In the town of Sakurada, people develop special abilities that are managed by an administrative bureau. Two years ago, a high school girl mysteriously died and her friends were prevented from saving her. With Kei’s ability to remember everything and Haruki’s ability to go back in time, they strive to save the town and the abilities of the people when it seems like someone is planning to erase it all. Told in two parts, if you’re unfamiliar with the source like I am, you have to pay attention to everything the characters are saying or you’ll get lost on what exactly everyone’s abilities are, how they work, how limited it is, and how unlimited certain ones are. However, the story is fascinating, Kei’s cleverness is astounding, and Yuna’s portrayal of Sumire is so gripping that I almost forgot about any other role she’s ever played. Wish there could have been more romance since I’m not entirely sold on the pairing, but the teamwork and trust shown between all the students is what the story is really about.

Spotlighting: Shuhei Nomura, Yuina Kuroshima, Yuna Taira, Mitsuhiro Oikawa, Tina Tamashiro, Kentaro, Yuri Tsunematsu

Tokyo Alien Bros: Manga Spoilers

Starting July 22nd 25:00 (i.e. July 23rd 1am), NTV will broadcast the live action adaption of Tokyo Alien Brothers, starring Inoo Kei (Hey!Say!JUMP) and Totsuka Shota (ABC-Z).  Link

There are 10 chapters translated to English online and you should be able to find them on google.  I was able to read the other 8 chapters on weibo, so if you are curious about how the story ends, I am going to post some spoilers after the cut.

The weibo account forbids sharing of the contents outside Weibo. Also the scans are in Chinese.  If you really want to know, send me a message and I can send you the person’s account.  Sorry, it’s a bit long and I didn’t have a chance to edit before posting.

I am going to use the names on the NTV website instead of the manga for a couple of characters.  Also, there will probably be adaptational differences in the TV drama.

Fuyunosuke (Inoo Kei) - The little brother who was first sent to Earth to investigate if the environment is suitable for their species.  His cover is an ikemen college student who is super popular (especially among the ladies) and has a very active social life.  He is methodical and intelligent.  He has been described by various characters as very handsome like a model, to the point when he was went shopping wearing a coat over pajamas, the Harajuku sales thought it was the latest fashion trend because there is no way such an ikemen will dress like a slob!

Natsutaro (Totsuka Shota) - The older brother who appeared out of nowhere while Fuyunosuke was having some racy sex with a random person.  Since he showed up in his true form (a blob-like alien), they had to erase the girl’s memory.  He is dumb and useless but kindhearted. He was supposedly sent to check on his brother since Fuyunosuke missed a few calls.

The first few chapters simply goes through how Fuyunosuke helped Natsutaro get familiar with earth: (I’ll just call them Fuyu and Natsu from now on)

- The alien bros cannot touch salt or else they will melt. Natsu found out when they went to eat shio ramen and he started melting.

- Natsu was walking around wearing a bathrobe until some old lady gave him some old clothes.  Then he walked around wearing a tiger print shirt.

- Fuyu had been hiding his spaceship in a park.  He took Natsu around the world to show him how interesting it is. Both brothers seem to be fond of Earth etc.

- Fuyu had many jobs: working at Lawsons, handing out tissue paper, etc. He took Natsutaro with him when he was handing out tissue paper.  Fuyu ditched Natsu on the pretense of a date, but really, he wanted to call HQ.  Natsu ate some gum (?) and went berserk.  He ended up crashing into a truck and part of his face got torn off.  He escaped...

***

Meanwhile, Fuyu was suspicious of HQ’s motive of sending Natsu to monitor him.  During a call back to HQ, he laid out his suspicion.  He said that Natsu was dumb, but if someone as dumb as Natsu can immerse into the environment, then it is proof that the aliens can migrate without any issues.  HQ confirmed and said there are 2 milestones for Natsu: a) find a job, and b) find a girlfriend, then it is proof that Earth is suitable for their species.  HQ told Fuyu not to tell Natsu anything.  Just as he was pondering how to help Natsu, Natsu walked in and said he found a job!

Natsu was hiding from the mob who seen his partially destroyed face.  He went into this candy store and asked the elderly lady if she would hire him and she said yes! So he started working there.  A bunch of kids thought he was weird, since he wore that tiger shirt every day.  One day, Natsu accidentally drank something salty and his face started to melt, and one little girl saw it.  She got her friends to go unmask him.  Somehow, one kid fell into the river and was about to drown.  Natsu dived in to save the boy and emerged in his true form.  However, since the kids were grateful to him, they decided to keep the brothers’ secret.

So now, girlfriend.  Fuyu held a takoyaki party at his place.  His friends, including Chinami* (Tsunematsu Yuri) and Okabe (Owada Kensuke). Okabe had a crush on Chinami and she (like every single girl) was interested in Fuyu. Anyway, Okabe was trying to get with Chinami and absolutely struck out.  While Okabe was feeling low, Natsu empathized with him since they were both losers.  Chinami suddenly found herself attracted to Natsu after that outburst of emotion.

* I think Chinami is called Ritsuko in the manga.  Not sure why they changed it.

***

Fuyu decided to take Natsu shopping, since he had been wearing the same tiger shirt and obviously no ladies want to get with that!  Fuyu walked out in PJ’s and a trench coat, but because he is as good looking as a model, the sales people thought wearing PJs and a trench coat is the trendy thing to do.  No ikemen would be caught in something like that!  Natsu didn’t have money, so Fuyu took him to the store Chinami worked in. Chinami was helping Natsu with clothes and suddenly Fuyu remembered how she helped him pick out proper clothes.  He felt angry and ran off.  Natsu chased after Fuyu and left his tiger shirt behind.  He asked Fuyu why he needed to buy clothes, and Fuyu told him about the mission.

***

Fuyu woke up with Haruru (Ohgo Suzuka). He was wondering why he felt so weird. Haruru suggested he might be jealous of his brother.  Fuyu dismissed the idea.  In the meantime, Chinami went to Natsu’s workplace to return the shirt and to ask him out.  Fuyu, who was absolutely not jealous, kept trying to disrupt their date by transforming himself into a smarmy guy, a smarmy middle-aged guy, and even a giant cat to try and steal Chinami away.  He finally admitted to himself that he was jealous.  While Natsu and Chinami was at a love hotel, Natsu’s face started melting when Chinami kissed him.  He had to wipe her memory and ran home.  Fuyu decided that in order to understand women, they needed to become women.

***

Fuyuko and Natsuko went out and explore as women. Naturally, Fuyuko was super cute while Natsuko looked like a character from the 80′s wearing a power suit. While they out, a scout told Fuyuko that he could make *her* a star and took *her* for a ride in his fancy car. Natsu had been trying to contact HQ with no avail, so he went home to call HQ again.  HQ told him that the Earth migration plan was cancelled because another investigation team found an even better planet for them.  Fuyu, one of his hands transformed into a blade, his face covered with blood, was staring down at the scout’s body, whose decapitated head laid beside him!  “You should not have tried to rape me.  Men are disgusting creatures.”

***

Fuyu took the dead scout’s car keys and took Natsu for a ride.  He was also starting to lose it.  He ended up crashing the car.  He told Natsu what happened and that he was completely disgusted.  They ended up in a park and Natsu told Fuyu about the end of the Earth Migration plan.  Suddenly, the cops showed up to arrest Natsu for the truck incident earlier in the story. 

As the cops put the handcuffs on Natsu, Natsu’s hand melted (or snapped off) and he started running away.  Fuyu, forever cleaning up his older brother’s mess, erased the memory of the cops, but an old guy saw them.  Fuyu was about to kill the old guy because he was of no consequence, but Natsu stopped him.  A crowd gathered while they were in half alien form so they had to make a run for the subway. 

While riding the train, Fuyu was clearly losing it because he had to leave Earth (even though he won’t admit to it).  Suddenly, a swarm of people got onto the train as it was rush hour.  Fuyu got pissed with all the people and was going to kill everyone in the packed train because they are moving to the new place and it no longer mattered.  Natsu ate some of the gum from earlier, grabbed Fuyu and literally flew out of the train. Unfortunately, they were going to fall into the sea.  In order to save his brother, Fuyu threw Natsu onto the sidewalk while he fell into the sea.  When Fuyu made it back to the shore, he was melted down to a kid-sized blob.  As he needed to transform into something of the same mass, he could no longer become an ikemen, a cute girl, or even an old guy.  He transformed into a white cat.  Natsu took him home.

***

Cat-Fuyu was not accustomed to his new cat body.  He also sensed that Natsu kinda fell in love with Earth, so he decided to go back home on his own.  But since he was a cat, it took him forever to get back to his space ship and when he was about to pass out, he remembered how he was when he first showed up on Earth.  Haruru picked up Cat-Fuyu and told him she would help him and that she knew he was an alien. 

In the meantime, Natsu was going crazy looking for Cat-Fuyu and asked Fuyu’s friends to help him hand out flyers to look for his lost cat, Fuyunosuke.  He said he named the cat after his brother (who was “travelling”) because it looked like his brother.  Anyway, Haruru took Cat-Fuyu home to Natsu.

Cat-Fuyu told Natsu that he only wanted to leave since Natsu really liked his life on Earth.  The brothers shared a last conversation together and Natsu took Cat-Fuyu back to his space ship.  Natsu and Fuyu hugged before Fuyu left to the new place.  Natsu went home and found a box Fuyu left him.  It was his Earthly research with a note “Even though I don’t know if it will be of use to you. - Fuyunosuke”  Natsu flipped through the pictures of the brothers and had a silent drink on the balcony alone.

***

A number of months later, Natsu was integrated into his Earthly life. He was hanging out with Chinami, Okabe, and other friends of Fuyu.  He missed his brother.  He was walking his dog and saw a white cat that looked like Cat-Fuyu. Nope.  He Suddenly his dog barked at a middle-aged guy, who turned away.  “Fuyunosuke?  What are you doing here?”  Middle-aged guy turned back into Fuyunosuke. 

Fuyu: Looks like I am discovered.

Natsu: Well, there were so many flaws in your disguise.

Fuyu: Oops. Well, the new place is too boring, so I came back.

Natsu: Your body?

Fuyu: Yeah, HQ has the best technology, so they were able to fix my body.

Natsu: Welcome back, Fuyunosuke.

Fuyu: I am home, big brother.

The brothers went back home and shared a drink on the balcony like they always did.  They looked at each other and laughed.

- The End -

"I won't let you... suffer the pain alone!" Kyuranger's 28th episode, conveys the tale of broken bond, and lost friendship...

- Let's get this right off the bat: POOR Balance!!! T_T... He wasn't around when Naga first succumbed into the darkness, so imagine his utter shock upon witnessing how his partner-in-crime (we'll get to this later) has become an evil, ruthless, brutal, and plain messed up person. Dark-Naga is completely different from his regular self, and this is the first time we get to see Balance gets deeply depressed. Even more so than that stolen-Birthday story... - Sure, the episode starts in a carefree and casual way. We see Balance utilizing the #43 Camelopardalis Kyu Globe to become a 'mechanical giraffe' and scout the area, while Dark-Naga is having fun with his newly found emotions through a practice fight with the Indavers (again, the actor is definitely having a blast). I also personally enjoy seeing Akyanba and Kukulga get along with one another, mirroring the bond between Ikagen and Madako nicely. But everything turns sour just 4 minutes in, and the cheerful mood has completely dissolves into a somber and melancholic tome. - Balance clearly arrives on scene with a belief that he could easily persuade Naga to the good side. That's how they've always been, right? But nope. If this is another show, the whole 'turning into evil' trope would be done and over with in just two episodes. This is Kyuranger we're talking about, and that's NOT how the show works. After declaring that the BN Thieves has now been disbanded, Dark-Naga doesn't pull any punches on his (former?) friends. He shoots Balance on the spot, intentionally injures his left thigh, and then tortures him with sheer glee. Balance refuses to react, resulting in an abusive scene that... well, rather disturbing to watch. I wonder how TV Asahi even allows this on a morning show? - It's a neatly choreograph, but devastatingly desperate fight scene. Once again, Dark-Naga is soooo close on killing the other Kyurangers with his 'Dark Galaxy' attack. This time around, a mysterious woman steps in to save the day. And it's a... female Naga! Hold on, I mean, a Naga-esque female individual from the Ophiucus system. She introduces herself as Echidna (obviously portrayed by Taiki Yamazaki, voiced by Ayumi Tsunematsu), and reveals more details about the same-faced inhabitants of her system. Trivia: In Greek mythology (nope, not the ant-eater one, nor... Sonic the Hedghehog's rival) Echidna is a half-woman half-snake 'She-Viper'. She's the mother of many mythical monsters such as Orthrus (that gave birth to Sphinx and Nemean Lion), Cerberus, Hydra, and possibly Chimaera. There's a 'mother angle' in her story. So can we assume this is just pure coincidence? Or is she actually Naga's mother? Hmmm... - Echidna's appearance is... well, a bit awkward to watch. Not because of the female voice coming out of Naga's lips, but mainly because it looks a bit out of sync. This is a common occurence in Tokusatsu, but I wonder why they don't just alter his actual voice with a sound editor? Also, design-wise, I think the production team made a minor miscalculation. IMO, they should've enclothed a 'female Naga' with a high-neck dress that fully covers the neck area. At least, give him a choker or something. The actor is what many generally calls 'pretty boy', so he CAN look and showcase Echidna's feminity just right. Yet it's also clear his adam's apple is still immediately noticeable in this dress style, and that would likely attract questions from audience. Especially observant nitpickers like yours truly LOL. With that said, her inclusion is still a much appreciated decision. It gives a good excuse to keep Naga's actor among the non-suit ones, without the need to hire a new artist. And similar to Dark-Naga's messed-up sassy gestures (that is always a delight to see), he's able to make us believe that Echidna's an entirely different character. - Echidna's exposition, leads to a deeper backstory for both Balance and Naga. And that's good. We FINALLY get to see how Balance met Naga for the first time! True to his trickster reputation, not only Balance ran into Naga when he was stealing a treasure from his planet, he also made use of Naga's pure desire for emotions to get away. On a whim! Yep, turns out things didn't actually start out in 'real' good terms for them. Back then, Balance was merely using Naga, turning him into a partner for his own selfish benefit. Not unlike Akyanba, huh? Nevertheless, it's a fated meeting that managed to change him for the better. Balance now actually cares for him and others in general! That's why Dark-Naga's berserking frenzy isn't just hurting Balance physically, but also scars him emotionally (if not all of us in general, of course). Balance is going to do anything to bring his BFF back, even if it forces him to engage in an intense heartbreaking duel with him. We've seen it teased in the preview, right? - I was initially pretty disappointed when Akyanba revealed that the key to bring Dark-Naga back to his senses, is to hurt him so badly. I admit, it IS a common thing for a Tokusatsu antagonist to foolishly state their Achilles heel. Even Kyuranger have done it before with a lesser MotW. I guess, I kind of expected more from this cunning villainess. Turns out, more is certainly what I'm getting. Televi's scans have already spoiled about this 'solution' before, along with the Gold-Silver fight, and Echidna's arrival. But what a pleasant surprise when those report (probably... intentionally?) left out the powerful twists that come as part of the actual package. - Contrary to popular assumption, Echidna isn't here to help Naga. She is sent to... eliminate him. Apparently, obtaining emotions is considered a massive threat in the law of Ophiucus system. OUCH!!! Echidna also blames Balance for 'swaying' him out of his planet. This is what I meant earlier by 'turning him as partner-in-crime'. Second, the Gold-Silver fight? Intense, but heartbreaking. I expected a Mexican Standoff-esque battle, but nope... Libra Gold doesn't want his BFF to suffer alone. So when he launches that rain of arrows using the #35 Sagittarius Kyu Globe, he's taking the fall WITH HIM. Aaaaawwww, the chills!!! But the episode saves the biggest twist of all. Hurting Naga badly to save him? LIES. That was nothing but lies. It's all Akyanba's trick to pit the Kyurangers against each other. She's merely toying with her enemy, trying to make them hurt one another. So disappointment is gone, because Akyanba IS a dangerous antagonist INDEED. - Worse thing is... according to her, Dark-Naga is beyond help. There's NO way he can be cleansed from darkness once he gains back his emotions. That means...? Aaaaaw!!!! T_T. I can already hear those devastated outcries reverberating throughout the Naga fanbase. Not to mention, Naga have always wanted emotions to make Balance happy! Putting the burden and guild on the Golden robot even more. If I didn't know any better, it seems the only ways to save Naga now are: defeat Akyanba to remove her curse/spells that unlocked Naga's emotions, and seal back the emotions he's been longing to have all these time. Those are NOT easy feats! Things aren't looking good in the present time. Fun fact: Can't believe it took me this long to realize one thing. Naga Ray's name is clearly a pun for either the Japanese word 'Nagare' which means 'to flow/washed away', explaining why he's easily persuaded; and also 'Nagareboshi' which means 'Shooting Star'. And we know how a meteor is called a shooting star, right? When it FALLS down on Earth. Suffice to say, Naga's fall to darkness has been written on his name. This character was already doomed from the get-go. And that rain of arrows is another really good metaphor to this too... - What's happening in the past doesn't fare better! 'Time Travel' team exits the time hole (healing Commander's Xiao's back in the process), and goes directly to witness Tsurugi's final fight against Don Armage. And it plays out exactly like Tsurugi's story, confirming several things: One, Tsurugi has been telling an honest truth all these time. As in, he's not dreaming or seeing illusions or alternate reality like some fans have theorized. Two, Kuervo sacrifices himself to protect Tsurugi from Don Armage's blow. So yeah, I think he's genuinely really dead, as we can only see Orion (who now has a face, more on this later) carrying Tsurugi to safety afterwards. Three, Don Armage is defeated... for REAL. Phoenix Soldier strikes him down (here's hoping we get to see that cool flaming winged attack again soon), blowing up his planet along the way. So HOW is Don Armage still alive till the present time? That side of truth is still shrouded in mystery. As if that's not enough, all of a sudden the ORION is under mysterious heavy attacks! Forcing Raptor to quickly warp off towards Earth. With Don Armage gone, WHO is attacking them then? - Before you dismiss that this time travel side is removed or unrelated, do remember one thing. Kyuranger had always run several plots in parallel, but they generally still share the same theme (examples: Stinger's route of vengeance crosses path with Champ, and the brotherhood parallel between Scorpio and Kotarou). Considering the current theme is about heroes/good person turning to the dark side, could it be foreshadowing the true identity of the new Don Armage? If we observe how Naga is Balance's best friend, we can see there's a parallel running in the past: Orion or Kuervo are Tsurugi's closest comrades too! Who do you want to bet as the real Don Armage, then? - Anyway, we're back in the present time. Akyanba walks away with a severely wounded Dark-Naga, leaving the fight to the giant Indavers. Since Ursa Minor SkyBlue has to tend for Balance, Leo Red uses Gemini Kyu Globe to duplicate Lupus Blue and Chamaelleon Green, so they can form a three-colored RGB Kyuren-Oh. What a NEAT trick! Even SkyBlue is surprised to see that this is possible. I don't think we actually need a mecha battle, but at least it's unpredictable. - Despite Echidna's firm statement that the only option to the Ophiucus Metal situation is to eliminate Naga, obviously 'Save Naga' team isn't going to give up just like that. Balance personally refuses to obey, and will do anything to rescue Naga. Even if he has to face Echidna for that. But that's when something unexpected comes up. Well, duh? This IS Kyuranger, so obviously it's one thing after another. Our present team senses an odd surge of time-paradox, and notices a distress beacon from the ORION. Has the spaceship really returned? - This is where the two time-crossed storylines come together in a shivering and shocking way. Because what Lucky and friends see, is NOT the ORION they've known all these time. It's a broken and aged ruins of the spaceship! Dang it, the goosebumps. Don't forget, there's a price for trying to break the rule of nature. A small alteration in the past will affect the flow of time and reality in its future... and this must be one! Does this mean, the real one is destroyed in the past?! Oh good heave, I hope not! But the scene that slowly shifted back in time... only confirms that concern. ORION has indeed crashed down on Earth, and its passengers are on the ground, wounded and unconscious. And standing in front of them, is none other than... Sir Orion!!! Fun fact: Orion is played by actor Kai Shishido, who is the son of legendary actor Joe Shishido. He's not new to Tokusatsu, having played DASH Captain Shigeru Hijikata in the 2005's "Ultraman Max". Looks like Shishido was added to the cast later on, because I don't think he was the actor we saw in Eris's story. That one was younger, smaller in figure, and has much lighter skin! Something that obviously a nitpicker like me would've noticed... LOL. It's a tad disappointing, because having felt familiar with his face, I've been really curious about that mysterious 'temporary' actor. Guess I won't be getting my answer anytime soon. But at the same time, I'm not complaining about Shishido. He DOES has a powerful presence worthy of an important character. Beside, if my theory of Orion being Lucky's biological father pans out, his surname would make for a perfect pun! The kanji means another, but 'Shishi' is 'Lion' in Japanese, right?

Overall: Oh wow, one surprise after another huh? Thank goodness we got a lighter episode last week, otherwise I don't think my heart is ready for such intensity to come every week. This episode left me with a bitter taste, which was both sad but good. Realizing that Naga can't actually be saved, felt like swallowing a bitter pill that refuses to go down the throat. It made me feel... hopeless. But such uneasiness could only land if audience deeply cares about him and Balance as characters, which is a really good thing. So call me hypocrite, but I'm glad the Dark-Naga arc isn't resolved too quickly. Otherwise I'd be quite disappointed. Thumbs up to the writers this time for a strong focus episode for Balance. Much needed praises also goes to the sound department, because once again, GREAT use of fitting BGM to amplify the scenes. The melancholic ones during Naga and Balance's heartbreaking moments worked gorgeously by adding shade and tint of sadness. I might have some minor nitpicks about this episode that affects my score, but overall, a truly excellent episode... Next week: Orion, oh ORION... PS: We're back to "Kyutama Dancing" as the ending theme, but this time Tsurugi has been added to the equation. Also, alongside teaser for the first Bluray Box set, the official trailer for V-Cinema "Episode of Stinger" has been aired. It's available online if you're curious about it.

Episode 28 Score: 8,3 out of 10

Manga artist BINO announced on her official Twitter today that a live-action TV drama adaptation of her representative work Jyoshi Kousei no Mudazukai / Wasteful Days of High School Girls slice-of-life comedy manga will be aired in January 2020. It was previously adapted into a 12-episode TV anime by Passione in the summer of 2019.

  The manga's original edition was serialized in Nico Nico Seiga. Then its remake edition started posting commercially on KADOKAWA's web comic site Comic Walker from December 2015. It is now running on KADOKAWA's Comic Newtype site and its latest seventh tankobon volume is set to be released January 10, 2020.

    Message from the manga author:

  "All of the characters in this manga have some unfortunate side or inferiority complex, but they don't try to overcome them basically. Only low-level everyday life continues in a classroom where low-level girls gather to have low-level conversations. But I think that's why there are points that the readers can be empathized with them, cheered up, and laugh. A live-action drama can convey such an atmosphere more realistically than manga and anime, so I'm so excited to watch it already now."
