In this thrilling episode of Sora Kake… Honoka and Akiha escape from the Nerval with Leopard’s brand spanking new gold orbs in their possession. Honoka and Kannagi hold off the Nerval’s pursuit while Leopard gets his new balls from Akiha. Leopard then orders Akiha to fire a very phallic cannon at the Nerval and they blow it to smithereens.

With the help of Nina, Kannagi fakes her death to elude the higher ups in the ICP that think she knows too much about the rogue colony incident. She then goes undercover as a transfer student, Mutsumi Shimoyama, and infiltrates Akiha’s school to… Get closer to her. Kannagi has a duel with Honoka in the courtyard that, surprisingly enough, no one witnesses. Kannagi then busts her own cover in front of Akiha, but our ditzy heroine doesn’t remember her. The mysterious student council later warn Kannagi that they know her true identity or something. Frankly, I stopped paying attention somewhere around the time Kannagi started stripping in front of Akiha. This is getting too ridiculous even for me. Time for screenshots.

QT-ARM vs Nerval: Who will emerge victorious?

Even though everyone knows missiles are totally ineffective against nearly everything in mecha shows, you must still fire them when possible.

I know the first thing you looked at is Honoka’s DFC. Admit it.

Incompetent cops in anime? What a twist!

Leopard’s shiny new gold balls. They are totally not a metaphor for testicles or anything.

Nerval mad. Nerval smash!

I HAVE DA POWA!

This is a QT-ARM. It’s sort of like a Valkyrie except not as cool.

There’s no way this could be phallic imagery…

Hello cleavage.

It’s just a giant space colony and nothing more.

Charging colony laser!

…Did the Nerval just get laser bukake’d?

That felt fabulously good. Why are you still here?

Leopard = Dung. Don’t piss off the Imoko.

One Leopard just got pwned.

Bunch of evil men. Those glasses reek of evil.

roflcopter. Darker than Black cosplayers.

Kannagi looking sort of dead.

Do assassins normally freak out this much when they see a dead body?

EEK! Blood!

My name’s Mutsumi Shimoyama. I’m not Kannagi Itsuki because my disguise has glasses.

Yay a transfer student!

No one supects a thing. Fools.

This is our secret love diary. For. Our. Eyes. Only~

Keep smiling. I’m going to get you eventually you airhead.

Kannagi contemplates the best way to get close to Akiha.

I like where this is going…

Insert totally appropriate “boing” sound effect.

Wait a second! Aren’t we moving a bit too fast?

I’m not a big meganekko fan, but I must admit I like the green haired Kannagi. Of course not having a shirt on helps too.

I’m crushing your head! I’m crushing your head!

Am I the only one that thinks the student council president looks a lot like a grown up Takumi Tokiha?

And why is it that student councils always have ulterior motives for being a student council?

Ye Olde Impressions:
Sora Kake keeps getting more ridiculous with each episode. Phallic imagery sure is fun. Leopard’s gold orbs/balls. No question what those are supposed to be. Leopard’s “sexual release” after having Akiha fire his giant phallic cannon. No question there either. That’s quite a way to relieve yourself, that’s for sure. Sora Kake certainly isn’t shy about the T&A either. There are even an assortment of chest sizes to keep all the fans happy. We start on the small range with Honoka’s DFC and move all the way up to Kannagi’s hefty assets with all other sizes in between. No shortage of cheesecake here.

Kannagi has the wrong idea of what it means to get closer to her subject, as in she’s trying to get intimate with Akiha instead of getting closer in the more traditional sense. She also doesn’t seem to understand the concept of keeping her cover by so brazenly putting the moves on Akiha and then running through the school with her shirt off. Not like I’m complaining or anything since she’s so hot though.

So yeah, Sora Kake is incredibly stupid but fun to watch. Two of my main three reasons for watching are Jun Fukuyama and Ai Nonaka. I usually don’t factor seiyuu casting into a show too much (unless it involves Houko Kuwashima or Mamiko Noto), but Fukuyama and Nonaka make this fun to watch. Fukuyama is using his Lelouch voice for the part of Leopard, and it’s hilarious to hear him in the context of being a snarky robotic giant floating eyeball.

I have no specific reason for liking Nonaka other than just liking her voice. While her Imoko doesn’t quite live up to two of her more recent roles, Fuuko Ibuki (Clannad) and Kafuka Fuura (SZS), her Imoko is still above par. Imoko going yandere and berating Leopard was gold, and I really think they could have a running gag going there.

My third and final reason for watching this is an obvious one — The fanservice. It’s titillating enough to keep me interested since the story is a big fat joke. Not too much, not too little. Just the right amount. Aw yeah. I especially love the needlessly skin tight flight suits and the cockpit seating position of the QT-ARMs. Wink wink. Aw yeah again.

If you’re wondering why I’ve skipped straight to an episode 3 summary, this is part of an experimental cross-blog tag team episodic venture between myself, Panther and Chong of the Team Blue collective. We’ll be taking turns blogging Sora Kake Girl in a 1, 2, 3 order like so, Panther -> Chong -> myself. If you missed their posts, here they are for your convenience you lazy bums.
