Message-ID: <3E40296A.3080007@earthlink.net> Date: Tue, 04 Feb 2003 15:58:18 -0500 From: David Mandalis To: megami@ml.usagi.org Subject: latest issue of Afternoon Reply-To: megami@ML.usagi.org X-ML-archive: http://www.win.ne.jp/~doi/ML/ Precedence: bulk Hi I just recieved my issue of Afternoon and it looks like another filler episode with Rubber Band fighting as the theme. I don't know again to scan down any images or not.... S P O I L E R s The plot so far, Keichii is still being tormtented by his rubber band gun toting boss, and the temple is still pretty messed up. While Keichii is at work the goddesses decide to have a 3-way rubber band war between Peorth, Skuld, and Urd. It opens with Skuld pursuing Peorth with a tank (about 1/4 scale version) with a giant rubber band gun on a turret (Banpei providing geerage). Peorth has "sprouted" two huge rose briars like wings which each bend a giant band sling-shot like. Urd manifests an Air Spirit who totes a super size band between his arms (think gas giant about 20' tall). After tearing around the yard for a while trying to position themselves for the perfect shot, Keichii shows up with the little gun that his boss cooked up announcing a challenge (unknowing of the caliber that the goddesses are toting). This provokes a response upon the unprepared Keichii of three huge band flying towards him. Belldandy freaks and send her angel to deflect the incoming signs of warm regards, which of course rebounds to hit one of the other goddesses destoying the tank and flattening Urd and Peorth. Belldandy apparrently reads them the riot act for endangering Keichii and they make the "appropriate" apologies. A little better humor and better art than last time but still nothing to get excited about. Any corrections will be welcome as my lanquage skills suck. Dave M.
