Episode 13 – Mission: Yozakura Family

mission-yozakura-family-ep-13-review.png

The household enjoyable shenanigans of the previous few weeks have been nice and all, however I am glad that Mission: Yozakura Family is giving us one other correct Spy Mission once more; what’s extra, it is all about Taiyo lastly uncovering the key of his household’s homicide. These sorts of episodes, which place an equal emphasis on humor and sowing the seeds of the present’s general story, have been my favourite sorts to get from M:YF, and “Tanpopo” would not disappoint. Nicely, for essentially the most half, no less than.

Earlier than we get to any of these quibbles, although, we’ve to deal with the perfect a part of the episode, which is the section that sees Taiyo infiltrating the Library of the Useless to uncover the key paperwork that reveal the lethal hyperlink that ties each his and Mutsumi’s households to the enigmatic “Tanpopo” group. Positive, the story developments and whatnot are nice, however did you all see the spooky homicide librarian, Me-chan? She stabs folks within the face for making an excessive amount of noise in her library, which is to say any noise, and he or she’s unimaginable! Granted, I’m married to a kickass, spooky librarian, so I is perhaps considerably biased in Me-chan’s favor.

Granted, I did go away that ominous “for essentially the most half” tag up within the intro paragraph, and I’ve one minor gripe with how this all unfolds. Whereas I’m not essentially towards the notion that Taiyo’s household simply bought wrapped up in a bigger conspiracy that’s actually all about harvesting the particular superpowered blood chemical compounds of the Yozakura household, how all of this info will get communicated makes the story really feel a bit anticlimactic, no less than up to now. That is purported to be a game-changing reveal in regards to the second that modified Taiyo’s life perpetually, but it surely appears like you can take out his household’s homicide utterly, and the story’s stakes would stay kind of unchanged. I do not know; I hoped for extra, however we’ll see the place issues go sooner or later.

Moreover, the hospital infiltration provides us each a brand new thriller for Taiyo to unravel and the prospect for Taiyo and Mutsumi to pair up for a mission and disguise themselves as an aged married couple. It is simply too cute, particularly when Taiyo drops that line about not realizing if he might stay with out Mutsumi. God bless these cute youngsters with their candy love for one another, and God bless the spooky homicide librarians.
